Donald Trumps own team is disgusted
Talking with CNN and MSNBC Monday night, Alberta said that some of those working on the campaign are disillusioned or even feel resentment and disgust toward the Republican nominee.
There is a fatigue and exhaustion, and at times, I think, it would be accurate to say, a disgust, for some of these people that has set in, Alberta told MSNBC. Even among the people who have poured their blood, sweat and tears into reelecting Trump, there is a feeling that something is off here.
Womp. Womp.

(28,836 posts)Trump seems to have crossed a line with some that many of us didn't think existed. This has been brewing for some time now.

They need to comfort themselves that Doonie didn't destroy the Republican party and that, somehow, when he is gone all will be peachy keen.

(20,868 posts)they'll still need to go maga to keep the magats, and Dems will continue to hang it around their necks.
The reality is that they were going to get a bad beating at some point to allow a reset. They should take that hit and rebuild, but they're a bunch of cowards.

You are the company you keep.

(1,284 posts)I think, though, the staffers are having difficulty with trying to elect the gigantic hole of unending, everlastingly unsatisfied need that Mr. Trump appears to be.
Most of us wouldnt last seconds no matter how much we were promised in payment. Toxic boss doesnt even seem to be a large enough term to encompass all of the horribleness included in working for somebody as miserable as Mr. Trump clearly is.

(15,376 posts)I guess they didn't "feel disgust" before taking the job because they, too, are disgusting people.
Metaphorical
(2,660 posts)Alberta managed to catch a campaign that was doing relatively well until infighting and Trump's own impulsiveness and need for chaos deep-sixed it. Harris ran a flawless campaign, but Trump has no one to blame but himself on this ... not that he ever will.

(10,478 posts)The one semi-positive thing you can say about Trump is that he has never hidden who he is. He doesn't have a filter, so he doesn't use it.
