Is Trump dumping Lewandowski as his campaign manager a sign of panic?

Once his numbers started to nose dive, it was only a matter of time before the sacrificial lamb was tossed off the cliff. It will be "interesting" to see if the rhetoric of the campaign stays the same, or if he tries to make a shift.

The RNC sure doesn't need Trump right now. Somebody approved by the RNC will be taking the place of that weinerhead. There will be more RNC "placements" as the summer progresses.

A campaign doesn't fire their manager if everything is going swimmingly. Its a pretty drastic step for a campaign to make. Bit of a hail mary pass.

That would mean admitting he was doing things wrong.

And that means things will only get worse for him.

I love this!

I thought he was going to do this all by himself and just needed everybody to stop talking and be quiet.

He is such an ass.

trump's primary campaign may have been staffed by baboons, but that Manafort guy is serious business, and i'm sure he doesn't want his career to be closely associated with baboon taint.
