The rumors that have been coming out of the Trump campaign for months have been that he's been chafing under Manafort's attempts to keep him on message and prevent him from saying stupid poo poo (for all the good that's done) and that he wants to bring back someone like Lewandowski who will basically let him do whatever he wants. I have no doubt that that's exactly what a couple of Breitbart writers would do.

gently caress I'm excited for this new gaggle of idiocy.

In particular, Beck sees a vision in which Breitbart executive chairman and host of Breitbart News Daily (which airs right before Glenn Beck on SiriusXM), Stephen K. Bannon might be open to supporting Donald Trump for president. Beck compares Bannon and Breitbart to Hitler's propagandist Joseph Goebbels, and accused them of "taking orders" from Trump in hopes of a cozy relationship.

"You’re not going to be the next Roger Ailes... Nobody is ever going to replace Roger Ailes," Beck said. "It’s certainly not going to be you..."

The election is over and it's only mid-August :unsmigghh:

Even Trump seems to be giving up, considering he axed the guy that was supposed to make him presentable to a general electorate and is trying to push a "the election is rigged and that's why I won't win" narrative. I wonder at what point does the GOP start actively running against him to save their own asses in Congress.

Okay. Honest question here. Has Trump made one good decision during the general election? As far as I see it, the "moderate" tones Manaford fed him were the only thing keeping him alive. The only way to run a worse campaign would be to formally endorse Hillary. And even then 35% would vote for him.

Yup.

This is the thing I think I love most about all this - the Republicans have nobody to blame but themselves for this. I mean we have to remember - most of the GOP's Guys got loving destroyed in the primaries. Like just goddamn annihilated. Sure Trump basically got the nod with ~45% of the vote... but that's because Cruz hoovered up another 30%. Jeb barely won any delegates, Rubio managed utterly feeble numbers for his entire run, and everyone else not Kasich was so forgettable and a non-starter electorally that I forget most of their names now.

This is the beast they have raised. This is the bonfire they built. This is the nominee the voters chose by, frankly, a pretty large margin of votes in a crowded field.

There is nowhere else for the GOP to go and no way to recover.

I'm sure it's just coincidence that right after hundreds of Republicans demand that the RNC cut funding to Trump and people are refusing to endorse/endorsing Clinton left and right, Trump brings on someone who hates the GOPe as much as he hates Clinton

Has anyone posted Jennifer Palmieris reaction to Trumps most recent speech?

Jennifer Palmieri posted:

With each passing Trump attack, it becomes clearer that his strategy is just to say about Hillary Clinton what’s true of himself. When people started saying he was temperamentally unfit, he called Hillary the same. When his ties to the Kremlin came under scrutiny, he absurdly claimed that Hillary was the one who was too close to Putin. Now he’s accusing her of bigoted remarks — We think the American people will know which candidate is guilty of the charge.

Basically his only argument is "No you!"

People have touched on this already but it really feels like the only thing Trump cares about making "good decisions" about is getting people to attend his rallies and cheer really loudly at them. Which, to be fair, he actually has been doing a pretty good job of. If that's not happening he doesn't feel like he's winning, regardless of what the polls say.
