Trump shakes up campaign leadership, demotes Parscale
The Hill ^ | July 15 2020 | BY BRETT SAMUELS

Posted on 07/15/2020 6:11:04 PM PDT by rintintin

Bill Stepien will replace Brad Parscale as manager of the Trump campaign, the president announced Wednesday night, shaking up the leadership of his stalled reelection bid.

Parscale will stay on in his role leading the campaign's digital strategy and will serve as a senior adviser, Trump said. Parscale was the digital guru of the president's insurgent 2016 White House bid, but had not worked as a campaign manager prior to taking that role ahead of the 2020 race.

In 2016 Trump used different campaign managers for different phases of the campaign and it worked. This is no different.

It’s a good thing. Parscale is a digital guru, but know nothing of field operations and get out the vote. Tweeted quite a bit when that is POTUS’s job. And Parscale was promoting his 100 million direct messaging app that has yet to appear.

Obviously the campaign doesn’t like what they see with the polls and swing states. Hope the change doesn’t come too late.

Parscale's going to keep doing what he's best at .... but after that 1 million disaster, there needed to be a change.

Everyone is entitled to a mistake. Isn't that a part of how we learn?

I don't place all the blame on Pascale. Democrats sabotaged the ticket distribution.

I do blame him for hyping the numbers. Hyping leads to hubris.

Don't announce the tickets until everyone is in their seats.

The Pearl Clutchers will dance tonight because to them it means Trump is going to lose. They got some high quality media propaganda from The Hill, “the president’s approval numbers are falling lately,” it makes it all so wonderfully SCARY.

What was more predictable than that?

“Making matters worse, Oklahoma health officials blamed the indoor rally for a subsequent spike in coronavirus cases in the area.”

Brad Parscale was over his head. He needed to stick to being a wbmaster.

The president’s “stalled” reelection bid? That’s a laugh - enemy propaganda gobbled up by nervous Freepers conditioned to fear their own shadows.

Yeah, and let's toss everyone overboard who helped get Trump elected because the media is spreading rumors.

For all his warts, Christie had two killer Gov campaigns. Got the message out and got as conservative guy elected as NJ will ever see.

Also successful with a law and order candidate message which is currently relevant.

“Stepien managed both of Chris Christie’s gubernatorial campaigns” Well that’s a bad sign

Didn't Christie win both those races?

Agree 100%.

My only point is that Parscale is still with the campaign working his digital magic. :)

An iconic scene in The Godfather is when Michael informs the family's longtime consigliere Tom Hagen (portrayed by Robert Duvall) that Tom is “out” as consigliere. Michael is brutally honest with Tom and tells him, “You're not a wartime consigliere, Tom.”

Notice they dont mention the Mount Rushmore event as being part of the kung flu surge.
And notice the commie media says NOTHING about the HUGE surge in cases in California or around the country due to those damn protesting roaches

If you're ahead of your opponent you don't change your campaign manager. I'm not saying Trump is going to lose but it's obvious the President did not like what he was seeing.

Same here but the only thing I am certain of is getting rid of Kushner and his wife.
