Trump Campaign Cuts Ties With Ohio GOP Chairman [View all]

Source: Huffington Post

With just few weeks until Election Day, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is cutting off his campaign’s relationship with the head of the Ohio Republican Party, Matt Borges.

“Chairman Borges does not represent or speak for the candidate and he no longer has any affiliation with the Trump-Pence campaign,” Trump’s Ohio campaign chairman Bob Paduchik said in a letter on Saturday. “I spoke with Mr. Trump on Thursday and he is very disappointed in Matt’s duplicity.”

The move is another example of how fractious and disorganized Trump’s campaign for the White House has been. Ohio is a must-win state for Trump, and feuding with the state’s party chairman ― while having relatively little on-the-ground infrastructure ― is not how any campaign would prefer to spend the runup to Election Day.

In response to the letter, Borges said, “I speak and meet with Bob Paduchik and Trump team members regularly. Interestingly, none of Bob’s concerns were voiced until he shared them publicly today.”

Trump should probably be locked up as danger to himself and others. I am coming to believe more and more he really does want to lost the election.
