So it looks like the news of his campaign manager Paul Manafort being on the Ukraine's dark money payroll to the tune of $12 million (he's being investigated by Ukraine campaign officials) was giving off too much heat....Captain Cheeto also just posted a WE ARE THE WORLD statement on Facebook to push back on his campaign's own internal polling that the public largely views him as racist.....

Yep, nothing to see here....

Donald Trump shakes up campaign team
The struggling GOP nominee names a new campaign manager and CEO.

By Matthew Nussbaum and Kenneth P. Vogel
08/17/16 04:07 AM EDT


Donald Trump, whose presidential bid has been stumbling badly in recent weeks, is reshuffling his campaign’s senior leadership.

The Republican nominee tapped pollster Kellyanne Conway as campaign manager and Breitbart News Chairman Stephen Bannon as campaign chief executive, Conway confirmed to POLITICO early Wednesday morning.


The news was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Trump told the paper "I want to win” and "That's why I'm bringing on fantastic people who know how to win and love to win."

Campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who had been effectively running the campaign for the past two months, will stay on in his current position.

But the shakeup seems to represent a diminution of his authority at a time when Trump's campaign is sliding in polls versus Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, and has been badly damaged by a string of controversies stemming from Trump's own impolitic pronouncements.

Manafort, a veteran of several GOP presidential campaigns, had been brought aboard in late March to professionalize a shoestring campaign operation run by relative neophytes and powered largely by Trump's dominance of the news cycle through social media and mega-rallies.

Manafort emerged victorious from a power struggle with former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who was fired in June, but the Trump operation never came to resemble a traditional presidential campaign.

Manafort's associates privately conceded in recent weeks that he'd grown frustrated with his futile effort to instill message discipline in the candidate. And this week, things got harder for Manafort with a series of damaging stories about his past work for pro-Russian Ukrainian politicians and oligarchs.

Conway, who has long served as a pollster for Trump's running mate Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, has been working with the Trump campaign since July.

Conway described the campaign overhaul as an "expansion" of the existing team rather than a shakeup. She noted that Rick Gates, a close ally of Manafort, would be remaining in his role as a senior aide to the campaign.

"Rick is fabulous and he and Paul have built a solid operation,” she said in an email. The “expansion to accelerate our reach with just weeks to go.”

Bannon has been quietly advising people around the Trump campaign for months, sources around the campaign tell POLITICO.

While he has no apparent campaign experience, Bannon is nonetheless considered influential in conservative politics because of his ties to the Mercer family of mega-donors and his perch atop the conservative Breitbart News, which has been supportive of Trump’s campaign.

It's wild...The Breitbart hire is NUTS when u really think about it...

Trump basically is saying I'M GOING TO DOUBLE DOWN ON THE CRAZY...ON THE ALTERNATIVE RIGHT CONSPIRACY THEORIES.....

Between this and Trump "unofficially" bringing on Roger Ailes to help him prep for the debates (think about THAT for one minute...The candidate that's beyond under the water with women in the polls is putting on the man who was engaged in a string of sexual harassment accusations and suits at FOX).

U can't make any of this shit up....

Insider 'You don't know how off the wheels this was' shit, how dog whistle politics started hitting human frequencies, lol.

I really can't figure out even one way this could help him.

So switching up the team is a moot point unless its 'Turn this shit into gold' after he's gaffed.

Even the Roger Ailes hire made no sense; Trump has mastered the right wing media game...there is no more level ups he can pull off with the Foxnews crowd because he's already at Super Saiyen level with them.

When Foxnews used to throw as many jabs as MSNBC six months ago looking at the front page now it's all HILARY HILARY HILARY with no negative trump mentions.

It's everyone else he needs to pull into the vortex and he seems not to care. Is it just to feed his ego...apparently he loves the crowds and the rhetoric is why they are there for. Is scorched earth; trying to leave the Repubs and possibly the Dems (all that steal election shit) being forced to deal with new paradigms when running for national office?

I figure he would just kinda keep the show afloat at a respectable crazy level and then blame the dems for stealing thus saving face...his recent moves make no sense.

Breitbart + Trump + Ailes= "new" media outlet waiting in the wings after the election, which will "expose" and attack Hillary 24-7.

Might even be a TV channel, to the right of Fox (imagine that)

They're gonna get all that teabagger/Bundy/Oregon militia/duck dynasty/alt-right/white nationalist/stormfront/david duke money. ALL of it. And make Hillary's life a living hell.

If they even happen...Trump is shook. Dude trying to find EVERY excuse not to debate....lol

She really has nothing to gain from them. No one is going to watch her debate and change their mind.

Trump, on the other hand, has everything to gain. He can use the debates to either act an ass and try to destroy Clinton with his insults/attacks. Or he can do his best presidential impersonation to sway those Republicans who are most concerned about temperament.

_______________________________________

but Clinton's a pro at this shit and the risk is low for her..how many times she had to sit in front of a bunch of Republicans talk shit to her face about what a shitty person she is and have to answer questions about her husband's penis. Trump ain't gonna have her frazzled like the amateurs on stage during the RNC runoffs.

TRUMP, on the other hand...The odds of him saying something off cuff and it playing horribly in real time are good . Its her chance to help bury him if he tries a presidential pivot and another Clinton scandal gets traction. I can see why she wants it, even though she could just play defense until the end.

while trump is talking

shit, the only reason i'm watching the debates is to see a complete utter meltdown
although at this point i cant stand to hear trump's voice
i immediately turn the volume to moot. i can barely stand to see the man (without wanting to throw up)
but for the debates, i will overcome my revulsion just to see what levels of stupidity will be reached

Nah...Ducking debates is bad news for ANY candidate...

Clinton is playing this just right....While Trump was crying to the media about how the debate rules were unfair, Hilldawg was on some, I'M READY TO DEBATE. I ACCEPT ALL THE TERMS.

Besides, if Clinton were to follow your advice she would end up looking like Bush 1, who tried his best to avoid debating Bill Clinton, who he more often than not was leading in the poll...

Hilldawg don't want to end up looking like Papa Bush:

lol...She has EVERYTHING to gain....It's not about making anyone change their mind on Clinton. It's about burying Trump....What Clinton is trying to do is show why Trump is a danger to the Oval Office...That he is temperamentally unfit....

U think Clinton is trying to sway Trump voters? ......It's not that simple...

She's going for those suburban moms and college educated whites (who she is already leading in the polls with). More importantly, she wants to give Trump the opportunity to play himself in front of millions of traditional Republicans....

Remember, Republicans writing someone else's name on the ballot or just staying home is just as powerful as some GOPer's flipping to Clinton....

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

what's crazy is that we wouldn't even know about this shit if he weren't trump's campaign manager. 4 years into a war and in Ukraine, hostile annex from russia and significant electoral meddling from US officials, not to mention thousands killed and there still hasn't been one good hour long in depth treatment of the situation by any of our 24 hour news channels.

Hillary's about to have. Even Reagan's 1984 landslide couldn't have been this easy for him.

I used to think it would wind up close, but it's been obvious since the Khan thing that it won't be.

In fact, I sort of feel like this isn't right. Winning the general election of the presidency shouldn't be this easy. It's not even really about her, anymore. It's basically Trump vs. The Media, at this point.

I have a feeling we are about to double down on some wars...

fuck you.

I just think winning this way, almost by default, is something she should not feel....happy?, good? about. Or have any kind of pride in it. But I get it, she's wanted to be president since forever, so those cognitive dissidents (c) Stacey Dash won't bother her but so much, but still.

If I were her there'd be a sliver of me that would be pissed off at Donald Trump for turning my victory into a circus shitshow.

she'll face an obstructionist Congress like Obama and since she will have won after such a farcical election the obstructionists will feel like they have some duty to challenge everything she does. so she might get it even worse than Obama.

fuck you.

one-term president. The 2020 election will be more consequential and tone-setting for the mid-to-longterm future than this one. This realignment that we're going through will probably be alot more stark and better understood in 4 years' time than it is now.

but - sure. if that makes it easier for u to sleep at night then right on.

fuck you.

snarky mustard? This is just a regular election discussion.

And for the record, a good fap session with the help of shesfreaky.com at 11:45 PM makes me sleep like a baby afterwards.

i'm not interested in discussing it b/c i find that kind of shit pretty boring. i don't want to play armchair politico. i'm not a policy wonk nor a wannabe-cable-news-talking-head.

so i'd rather make fun of you ppl and your discussion.

Actually, no. This realignment that's happening will mean that the GOP and the Democratic Party as we understand them today won't mean the same thing in the future. The near future. That Bernie revolution was not some random one-off fluke. The Bernie Bros are going to represent what the Democratic Party used to represent. So you might be right, there might be a Democrat in office for the next 4 cycles, but the real election will be at the primary level, and there will be real ideological differences between the major Democratic candidates (neoliberals vs. social democrats/leftist populists, etc.) Sort of like when one conference is superior to the other and teh real championship happens before the Super Bowl/World Series/NBA Finals.

You're dreaming if you think we're going to have 20 years of blissful, coherent, unified one-party rule. Even if one party does win continually, it will still effectively feel like a two or three party system with all the bitter contentiousness that goes along with that.

but at a certain point they aren't doing anyone any favors by refusing to budge on the bullshit, especially by doubling down when they're challenged on it....and at the expense of the framing/issues that they really can lead on.

they need to take a hard look in the mirror, because the libertarians had a BATSHIT convention and sport a BATSHIT wing among their membership. yet they tend to stay the course and have a solid/young core of sane people who swear by their flawed ideology. they're going to pick up more this cycle because gary johnson ain't gonna fuck it up.

the greens can't even get to that point. and it's a tragedy.

and the center right group you're implying they'd become by just *trying*

it isn't even a concern. environmental issues are important and people recognize that there's a lack of emphasis there in american politics, but the fucking *green* party can't get with the program. the houston convention was supposed to highlight some of that, but it was lost in the circus. the valley and gulf coast are fucking ready to talk about environmental/economic disasters because shit has been wrecking those regions recently. the valley in particular is also RIPE for leftist organizing because it's blue as fuck but the dems have given up on the state, so people aren't being represented. baraka has *excellent* points to make on every issue, but he can't resist sniping at political/intellectual celebrities. it's meaningless already.

BLM is a more relevant leftist movement than the greens and they're brand-new AND not a real party. the socialists (who have a loose, sometimes incoherent, organization in this country) have had just as much electoral success recently.

time for the greens to act like a party. selling out isn't something they have to worry about.

>and the center right group you're implying they'd become by

the Greens will become a center right group. I am saying if they follow the path that the Libertarians are on it would be a waste of time since they would become Dems with another name the same way Libs are Republicans with another name.

i obviously never meant that taking note of how the libertarians salvaged this cycle meant abandoning the green's platform or values.

i meant that the public image of the libertarian party is relatively strong right now because the candidates promote their party's values without amping up the volume of their fringes. stein has argued for positions that are both unpopular and unprogressive. it's extremely telling that they're not resonating when this country is ready to hear out viable leftist candidates.

"they need to take a hard look in the mirror, because the libertarians had a BATSHIT convention and sport a BATSHIT wing among their membership. yet they tend to stay the course and have a solid/young core of sane people who swear by their flawed ideology. they're going to pick up more this cycle because gary johnson ain't gonna fuck it up."

It comes across like you are downplaying how bad the Libertarians are, as you go after the Greens.

The public image is strong because they are Republicans with another name. They didn't stop the fringes at the convention.

how the fuck does she have a narrow lead? It's not like anything changed the last few days.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/18/politics/pew-research-center-poll-2016-election/index.html

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has a narrow nationwide lead against her Republican rival, Donald Trump, in a four-way match-up that includes third-party candidates, according to a new poll released Thursday.

The Pew Research Center survey finds that if the election were held today, 41% of those surveyed would support Clinton, 37% would support Trump, 10% would back Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and 4% would back Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
Additionally, women surveyed back Clinton over Trump 49% to 30%, respectively, while men support Trump 45% to 33%.

It's just Pew being Pew....They have always shown a tighter race between Clinton/Trump.....

It's best to just go by the individual state polls instead of the national ones.....Or Nate Dogg Silver will do....

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

Trump has now gone from 13.2 percent to 14 percent in the cumulative chances (from the polls) of who would win the election RIGHT NOW....The latest Pew poll bumped him up less than a percent.....(http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/)

In other words, I'm not going to say the homie LAbeathustla is right on target with his prediction that its going to be a blowout (Let's wait until after Labor Day), but it's getting close to night-night...

BTW....To put this entire race into perspective, the fact that's scaring Republicans isn't just one or many polls showing Clinton ahead...It's what states Clinton is doing well in...

Nevada (usually Republican): Clinton 42/Trump 40
Georgia (usually Republican): TIED
Arizona (usually Republican) TIED

These^^^are poll numbers that I never thought I'd see in my lifetime....

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

Assuming its a blowout and the Trump factor gets them control of the senate. It's going to be obstructionist as fuck simply because the Repubs are going to be working for those congressional seats in the midterms.

Do they stay the progressive path, or do they go centrist in hops of pulling more rational repubs disgusted by what's been happening

I'm guessing the change was due to Georgia going from slightly leaning blue to slightly leaning red (though he has GA at close to 50/50 right now).

People strongly dislike him, but his not repugnant like Trump. He at least has the demeanor and manner of a presidential candidate. Republicans wouldn't be jumping ship over Cruz. It would be easier for them to swallow their convictions and vote for an undesirable candidate.

He wouldn't win, but he'd get something close to Romney/McCain numbers vs Clinton

I think I've said it before on here, policy-wise, Trump's ideas are like promising Condos on Mars by 2017: they're so ridiculous they aren't worth being taken seriously. A lot of the stuff Cruz proposes is just as repugnant and even more dangerous. He might not have Trump's temper or propensity for saying stupid shit, but his ideas are faaaaaaaaaaar to the right of anything that could be considered mainstream. Clinton would end up hammering him on that.

And while Cruz might not have engendered a #neverCruz movement in his own party, he's not very popular amongst the GOP leadership and his colleagues in Congress. You probably wouldn't get the "Republicans staying home" phenemenon, but I don't think he'd get McCain or Romney numbers. He'd be somewhere in the middle of their numbers and Trump's.

Cruz is Barry Goldwater 2.0 just waiting to happen...LANDSLIDE.....

Too much of a social conservative...He's the guy known for shutting down the government...

Clinton would be up 6 to 10 points on him just like she is (at the moment) on Trump...And it could be argued that it would be worse because Trump has been able to get some of the non ideological voters who could care less about gay marriage and the like...

Cruz is poison...But I wish he would have won. He's much more consistent than Trump...

Kasich is the only one that would have beaten Clinton out of that clown car....
