Discussion: Top Trump Aide Rick Wiley Leaves Campaign Shortly After He Was Hired

How much longer before Manafort leaves the fort? Seems to be just a matter of time.

I guess he figured out that you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

Drumpf needs professionals in place when this hits the U. S. press. Not surprising that, once again, a British paper does the investigative work. Bit surprising that it was the conservative Daily Telegraph, though.

It’s a little off topic, but polling with favorable results for HRC usually doesn’t make it to TPM. There is a Bloomberg poll out today showing her leading Trump 46%-39% in the Rust Belt. I wish I could provide a link, but my laptop is a little too cumbersome for my morning jogs.

Every statement from the Trump camp, even the most routine ones trying to say as little as possible like this one has to include third grader level boasts and taunts. It’s been a long slope downward for the Republicans to this level of juvenileness, and then going off a cliff at the end. Well, I hope it is the end.

Yes, if Manafort leaves it will signal to the GOP at large the failure of Trump to recognize that Lewandowski fellow is not only a loser but a major problem. Could not happen to better folks I say!

The RNC will go bonkers, more big money contributors will stay far, far away and the press will have a field day. Trump will try and evade any answers, bring up off-topic b.s. and attempt to duck the issue 100% saying that even Manafort was brought on only temporarily. Liar!

Thanks for the link. Donald J. Trump and his children are all about as skeezy as a person can get. American media – do your fucking jobs!!

Thanks for this. In a way, I am not that disturbed by the HorseRace as I make out. Every Latino I know is as scared of Trump as my Dad was of the Nazis. “News” that Trump is polling high will make minorities fight that much harder to register and to vote…and Tweety-type people (who LIVE for the dramatic HorseRace) gushing over Trump’s polling and chances to win just may wake up some complacent Americans NOT burdened with the challenge of being a minority in America.

There is one caveat…handwringing people exposed to MSM bullshit, see Trump as inevitable and give up.

We need fighters.

It’s clobbering time! Reuters file pic of Wiley when he was working on Carson’s campaign. Hard to see how he couldn’t get along with Corey lol

Clashed with the ‘No Nuffins’. What a surprise.

He’ll stay until the paychecks start bouncing.

Same double-talk as every other politician.

Trump has forged a roadmap showing how to fool conservatives. Just quote the Bible — Two Corinthians works best — wave a gun around — while banning them from anywhere near you — and promise to make everything more expense — while surrounded by blondes.

Angry white males turn into little puppy dogs.

Though the campaign downplayed Wiley’s exit from the campaign, Politico reported that Wiley clashed with Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and those hired by him. And according to NBC News, Wiley did not communicate with staff hired before he was brought onto the campaign.

and the war continueeeessss…

Manafort sees this as a a winnable race. Though the longer that he stays in ‘Trump Land’ means that he will go down with a Trump loss.

That is the original German spelling of the name.

Google is your friend.

He’s a dangerously silly man.

Oh…and " cultural differences between the campaign and Wiley"___Translation: Wiley realized how truly fucked up the campaign is and got out while the getting was good.

The Trump campaign has the classic structure of a dictatorship, 100% hub-and-spoke, and anybody that doesn’t get that won’t last long. The disaster has just begun.
Reports were that GrandPa Mac’s staff were doing a not so ‘silent scream’ while trying to makeover The Half Baked Alaskan for the national campaign and her debate: “She’s a godd*mned idiot. Impossible. She knows nothing and has no interest in learning…” Hair Furor’ will be infinitely worse.
