President Trump runs his campaign and staff much like a gold medal hockey team does. They generally have about three different shifts. Every 20 to 40 seconds a new shift comes on the ice as the other one goes off. It keeps the most important players fresh. I have no problem with this as it is putting in a fresh shift. This way the enemy can never figure out any weak points, and only sees strength. Sun Tzu. PDJT also does not surround himself with yes men, instead, more stable geniuses.

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

Gorka told Lou tonight that he was in the Oval today and Law & Order is the campaign message going forward.

How does this not signal Trump thinks he is losing. And the day Quinnipiac comes out with a horrible poll for Trump

You may want t look at the Rasmussen poll also today. The gap between Trump and Biden is down to 3 points.
Quinnipiac has been wrong on every single poll about Trump going back to 2016.

Here us Quinnipiac in Auguy 2016, just a couple of months before the election.

“We are starting to hear the faint rumblings of a Hillary Clinton landslide as her 10-point lead is further proof that Donald Trump is in a downward spiral as the clock ticks,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

Good pickup. I saw that earlier. The timing of this shakeup is what bothers me. I hate polls, mainly because they are driven by agenda. But Harris was good, so was Rasmussen. So why change?

Then again, how many times did Trump change campaign managers in 2016?

I’m all in on President Trump, but this move makes me a tad nervous that internal Polls may be shaky..... Anyone else?

Because Brad is not a wartime consiglieri. He is an IT guy. He's never run a campaign before. He may lack the ruthless and the killer instinct required to win.
Like they said in The Godfather just before starting the war with the other families:

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.”

I said the same thing a few days ago. I called it.

Sounds like Parscale was not demoted, but got someone else to take the job of campaign manager off his plate. Campaign manager and Digital manager is too much work for one person. Parscale is a genius at digital campaigning.

Nah. Brad had to know he was going to be moved over after that disastrous "1 million" mistake.

I give the President credit for not moving him over on the plane ride home. :)

And now Brad can focus on what he does best: data mining, digital campaign events, fundraising.

Looks smart.
How many times did Lincoln change generals during the civil war?

I'm more concerned about the candidate than the campaign.

All his signals on immigration this past week stink. He is taking your vote and mine for granted.

He has badly handled the virus, from both the big gov't / Karen view and from the correct Free Republic view.

Trump is great and all, but...

He is NOT a movement/principle type of conservative.

He is NOT an Constitution / Freedom guy in any predictable fashion.

He IS a populist.

Fortunately, most of our favored positions on national issues have polled such that DT is generally on our side. And, fortunately, the dreadfully subjective concept of MAGA has worked in our favor and his because of this.

However, an honest person has to admit he occasionally makes some whopper mistakes. Trump/RyanCare comes to mind including his bad-mouthing of the nation-saving HFC, some of his comments about gun laws especially after the FL school shootings, his recent remarks on immigration (DACA, visas, the remote university students), etc.

The most negatively consequential and most core-revealing example, of course, is in regard to the bad sci-fi movie we are all living today due to how scary a new cold virus looks under a socialism-driven political microscope.

Navarro was right. But it caused Trump to turned Left.

Trump knows Navarro is correct and Dr Fraud is a joke. Trump was brilliant and heroic regarding HCQ. It works. He was right. He would be the 5th head on Rushmore today and would be the new statue to Bravery personified filling all the recently vacated pedestals... if only he was a Democrat - because, while ALL media pseudo-scientists and news readers assured us that HCQ would kill you, Trump bravely did a one-man human trial. Dr F was not only wrong but dishonest about various versions and usage of the drug/combos.

But the polls are in favor of Dr F, right now. So Trump cozies up to fraud instead of defending truth - now I am going to be sick!

And, yes, I'm still voting for him again despite the aggravating flaws.

Thank you. Perhaps I am guilty of a knee jerk reaction. His association with Christie gives me pause:

I would love to see Christie as next Attorney General with marching orders to clean house.

Chris Christie was elected, and then re-elected by a wide margin — in one of the most reliably “blue” states in the U.S. Whoever ran his campaigns sure knew what the hell he was doing.

Fallout from the empty seats at the Tulsa rally, I’d bet. Mega-sales overhyped by Parscale.

Yup, and the latest lousy poll numbers (Real Clear Politics average) - IF all these polls are true, that is. We know the Fox News polls are a joke, for example.

I'm still wondering what the heck happened with last week's cancelled Portsmouth, NH rally. Yes, there *was* kind of a weather threat, but it ended up being a Nothing Burger storm. Wonder if Parscale was overhyping that one, too.

Pascale is still party of the campaign, just moved to control the digital role of the campaign, that’s fine with me :-)

I'm fine with that as well. That's where Parscale did his "magic" during the 2016 campaign. I wasn't too sure about him being the overall campaign manager. Guess my bad feeling about that was right.

I don't know anything about Bill Stepien though.
