Manafort has more important things to do than run a trump campaign.
Campaign chairman Paul Manafort has done multimillion-dollar business deals with pro-Russian oligarchs and was a longtime adviser to the Russia-aligned Ukrainian president whose 2014 ouster triggered Russia’s intervention in Ukraine, a major source of tension between Russia and the United States as well as its NATO allies.
If I were in his inner circle, I’d wear a bag over my head to be unidentifiable. Probably a white one, kind of pointy, with a matching long, white robe.
As long the media stays on the story of trump’s lucrative connections to Putin which would also explain why trump wants the US to leave NATO (not good for a tyrant to have the Western alliance watching him), it’ll be helpful. Media also needs to stay on story on how expensive it is keep a Security Service detail attached to Bernie’s failed campaign: $38,000. a day.
38k a day is not nothing, and as much as I wish he’d drop out, he has every right to stay in the race, imo. As such, I can’t get too upset about it. He’s not being unethical or breaking laws…as tired as I am of him continuing in the race.
Because then you have the bean counters talking about Obama spending an extra 10 minutes on the plane or the Bill Clinton haircut story…which wasn’t even accurate.
Strategy meeting? I think they are referring to an “intervention.” I think he hired someone from the Bachmann camp because he’s got a boner for Michele, just like he has/had for Palin.
The spotlight, the adulation, the adoring crowds have gone to his head, some of whom hold up signs say Send Clinton To Jail 2016. He’s sabotaging Clinton’s campaign in ways subtle and overt. $38K a day is more than what some people pull in in yearly income. If the “revolution” hasn’t begun by now, a year later, he’s not going to be the one lead it.
Trump has also hired GOP strategist Keith Nahigian, who ran former Rep. Michele Bachmann’s (R-MN) insurgent presidential campaign in 2012.
I’m thrilled to see Trump hiring campaign strategists on the basis of such success. Nahigan clearly knows how to pick winning candidates (for the Political Career Darwin Award).
