Trump replaces campaign manager as polls show him trailing Joe Biden race

President Trump announced Wednesday night that he is replacing Brad Parscale as his campaign manager with longtime political aide Bill Stepien as national and swing state polls show the president falling further behind Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, in the 2020 presidential contest amid a spreading pandemic that has greatly harmed the economy.

The president wrote that Parscale “who has been with me for a long time,” will stay as a senior adviser. Parscale has been marginalized in the campaign for several weeks, officials said, with Trump angry about a botched rally in Oklahoma and his lagging poll numbers.

Parscale did not respond to a request for comment.

Gee, and Brad's always just so available to pontificate on things with the media.

1. Welp, Parscale's gonna have to find someone else to grift off of.

It was fun to watch Trump's implosion so far. Let's hope Stepien keeps the avalanche coming down on Trump's head.

2. Stepien served as his Deputy Chief of Staff ...

before being fired in 2014 after Christie said he "lost confidence" in Stepien's judgment.

3. He sounds perfect for the position.

13. A president replacing someone who'd never run ANY campaign,

much less presidential, with someone who also hasn't but has worked in one as part of Chris Christie's corrupt operation. Trump's right on Trump track.

4. Replacing your campaign manager less than four months before the election is a good sign, right?

Well oiled machine, baby!

7. Who didn't see that coming?

What with chumpy's poll numbers going down so fast, he had to blame somebody. It thinks that the campaign manager is the problem.

8. Doubt they were smart enough to keep or raise his pay.

Because mercenaries are quick to turn on faithless employers.

10. Not sure what a campaign manager will do when your policies are disastrously wrong.
