Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) quietly parted ways with his Iowa political director in recent weeks, his campaign confirmed Wednesday, part of a series of recent staff shake-ups in key early states.

The campaign announced in March that Jess Mazour would be political director in the first-in-the-nation caucus state, part of a first wave of early state hires. She is no longer on the team.

“We’ll continue to make moves that we feel best position this campaign to win,” Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir said in a written statement after The Washington Post reached out to the campaign about the matter.

A campaign official who spoke anonymously because of the sensitivity of the situation said Mazour was let go in late summer and will not be replaced. Mazour, who was a high-ranking campaign aide but not the director of the Iowa effort, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The campaign did not publicly announce her departure at the time.

Good thing he had all of 2016 to work the kinks out...

4. What a mess

If he can’t run a campaign better than this how will he govern?

This is actually disqualifying IMO.

5. The Sanders campaign in disarray. I'm guessing his internal polling

must be pretty grim in Iowa and New Hampshire. Berni's fundraising is supposed to be good. Maybe he should hire some quality professionals.

6. A candidate has to listen to the quality professionals

I suspect Bernie does what Bernie wants to do. It was reported that he refused to practice before the June debate.

7. the problem for Sanders is much of his support was fueled by spreading hatred

of Clinton. without her in the running that it's gone. but you still see them bring it up including on this site just like trump does.

they are trying to do this with Biden but doesn't work as much since the Hillary hatred was very much about misogyny .
