I get very worried when there are campaign reorgs. Those usually happen before defeats.

Bingo. If this campaign were cruising along like some of our delusional brethren on FR suggest, there would be no need to shake things up.

In which she has the exact same margin as Brexit being defeated...

It's a little different given the complexities of the electoral college.

“Bingo. If this campaign were cruising along like some of our delusional...”

Well what makes you think you know any more than they do?

Put better people in and push forward.

This man didn’t get as far as he has by running the same way those “winners” like Romney and McCain did.

You know, the ones that didnt rankle your feathers by switching things up as they saw fit.

Not when Hillary starts ‘controlling’ free speech, he won’t.

I’m so disgusted with HRC voters. The choice is so obvious between the end of our country and a chance to restore it.

If the American people are such stupid Gibs-me-dat Socialists that they are unable to make what should be a very easy choice for Trump, they deserve their chains, their misery, their tyranny (but we don’t!).

As brilliant, as ready to save America from tyranny as DJT is, it must, at the same time, deeply sadden him. The fight for liberty should not have to be this difficult, but sadly, we know that it is.

She is Stalin in a crusty pant suit.

Problem is, she’s already elected.

We get to go through this fake-ass ‘election’ in November, but make no mistake.

She’s already the President-elect.

You should let Don know about this so that he can chill at Mar a Lago until November.

The way I see it Paul’s forte was getting delegates for the Republican Convention. He did a magnificent job and Trump got the nomination with all the forces aligned against him.

The campaign is entering a new phase and Trump needs people attuned to this part of the campaign. IMHO it is as simple as that.

The choice is so obvious between the end of our country and a chance to restore it.

Which is why Trump supporters will have to get active in October to GOTV. One man cannot do it alone and this is simply too important. The local GOP parties won't help, they are filled with lazy patronage hacks. Trump needs to hire some grassroots organizers who can gear up a social media campaign to get supporters to become an army to get out the vote.

His apology was a smart move too.

Everyone here saying “Let Trump be Trump”, well that’s fine, but he wouldn’t have apologized if internals didn’t show it hurting him.

Now is the time to act presidential for the next 3 months.

Thank you Mr. Manafort. Your expertise in securing delegates and securing the nomination for Donald Trump was invaluable.

Now, it’s time for the next phase of the Trump campaign.
