Gidley is a fool at best.

He’s about to spend more time under the bus than a Greyhound mechanic.

Politico reported that Gidley had been in talks with the Trump campaign for around a month.

That detail seems kind of telling. I guess he had to negotiate a percentage of the grifting.

Huckabee and Santorum makes Gidley a plus?

I know there is a snarky, useless comment to make about lying, professional lying, nonstop lying, lying like a rug, but I just don’t have the energy.

I will say … Hogan looks like a total tool with his Top Gun glasses.

PS. Nice to see Hogan Gidley finally got a semi-normal haircut.

I hear there are some recent openings. Eight of them, in fact.

I know that all of us have been thinking that the campaign needed someone else to lie voraciously and spin BS into gold.

I was unaware that there’s ever been a difference between the WH ‘policy’ making division and the abomination’s re-election campaign. A gidley here, a gidley there - so what.

Trump: [Gidley] is a strong, loyal and trusted member of the team that I know will do an outstanding job!

That’s pretty comprehensive. Trump’s going to have to tax his imagination to come up with stuff to say when he fires Gidley.

Is Gidley smart enough to pack his life jacket? This ship is going down fast.

Hopefully, it won’t be a firing, but the dismemberment and burial of the Trump Disorganization after the election…

Which is going to suit him just fine… the bastard has been like a lamprey sucking money from the campaign like crazy, the guy was broke five years ago and now is a millionaire. Probably won’t mind taking some time off to spend it.

From his resume below Gidley is a proven loser and let us hope he keeps it up for Trump.

“Gidley worked in campaign politics for decades prior to serving as a top White House spokesperson for nearly three years. He previously worked on the presidential campaigns of Mike Huckabee — the father of former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders — and Rick Santorum as well as the Senate campaign for Elizabeth Dole. Gidley also served as executive director of the South Carolina Republican Party.”

Well, at least he has a last name…

First time I’ve seen a photo of him, but exactly what I pictured in my mind from his name, party, and occupation.

“Trump aides told Politico in a report published Tuesday that they were seeking someone who could help coordinate between the White House and campaign.”

THIS detail seems kind of telling, and given their propensity for ignoring even basic laws, the chance of them running afoul of laws separating what the WH can do on campaigns, and what they can’t, seems extremely high.
