Trump Eyes Campaign Shake-up

Corey Lewandowski may be in and Brad Parscale may be out https://politicalwire.com/2020/05/11/trump-eyes-campaign-shake-up/

“Seeking to change the trajectory of the race, Trump is now discussing a shake-up to his campaign leadership… Two sources said Trump has told people he wants to install 2016 campaign manager Corey Lewandowski in a senior role… According to a source, Lewandowski has told Trump that the RNC doesn’t grasp how dire the polls are.”

“Trump’s interest in Lewandowski has sparked conflict with Jared Kushner… Kushner is strongly opposed to Lewandowski joining the campaign… Kushner led the effort to force out Lewandowski in 2016, and has since successfully kept Lewandowski on the outer edge of Trump’s orbit.”

Also interesting: “Trump and campaign manager Brad Parscale’s relationship has been fraying for weeks.”

She fishes them out of the toilet.

Hope is very loyal to former Beaus. You have to give her (?) credit ?

And Parscale was bragging about his campaign “Death Star” just the other day.

You watch, the closer we get to the election and the more Trump starts to panic, the more he’ll shuffle campaign managers around as if that will magically fix everything.

By October he’ll be switching them out every six hours.

Trump will can Parscale because he knows his tech stuff and won't be intimidated by Trump. Let Trump bring back old school Lewandowski and the two of them can reminisce about days gone by while Biden wins the election.

grasp how dire the polls are." . . . and this is what recommends him (corey) for the position?

Trump, who only wants praise and adoration, is now wanting BAD (dire) news? and that is what motivates this personnel change?

Also, do we really believe the RNC doesn't grasp how dire the polls are? Maybe I am misreading this but it sounds odd and far-fetched.

Manson was cremated? Get some glue!
