Exclusive: Corey Lewandowski Escorted Out of Trump Tower, Out of Trump Campaign
Breitbart.com ^ | Neil W. McCabe

Posted on 06/20/2016 10:35:11 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Donald J. Trump fired his wunderkind campaign manager Corey Lewandowski Monday at the campaign’s regular Trump Tower meeting.

“Corey was escorted out of the building,” a source close to the campaign told Breitbart News.

Lewandowski came to the meeting unaware that he had lost the support of the GOP presumptive nominee, the source said. At the meeting, attended by both senior campaign staff and members of the family, Trump reviewed different campaign metrics that were all faltering: cooperation with party leaders, fundraising, surrogate operations and most importantly the polls.

The campaign manager seemed to have run out of ideas. When the New York City developer asked Lewandowski what he would do to turn things around, the only thing he could come up with was for Trump to announce his pick for vice-president.

Pitching that as the solution sealed his fate, the source said. “The VP pick was the one piece of suspense that would make people tune into the convention—Corey wanted to give that away now? There was no way.”

Maybe Lewndowski and Trump cooked it up, and he will be a mole for Trump elsewhere?

Probably already posted but here are a couple of new ideas Mr. Trump:

1) Keep bashing Hillary/Obama/democrats/democratic policies that have failed everywhere they have been tried

2) quit talking about yourself/Trump Univ/republicans who may have pissed you off/ or anything else that does not start with or is about all items in idea #1

Yes. There are probably lots of people too embarrassed to admit who they will vote for. Who knows how many? In the end it comes down to turnout of what’s left of the bases of both parties.

<<< “There are probably lots of people too embarrassed to admit who they will vote for. Who knows how many?” >>>

“Embarrassment” is certainly NOT anywhere near a word I used in my post.

WTHELL are you saying?

My post was meant to imply TRUMP will win with secret support of those who are desperately HAPPY to vote for TRUMP, but can not support him publically without threats, pressure, and even job security.

THAT is a far cry from “embarrassment” about who they will vote for!

Your unbridled handwringing about TURN OUT is coming through loud and clear. Laughable on its face it is also a case of obvious TDS, as well.

This is either your first election, or you have a box on your head.

THIS election will be the biggest election ever. Even the illegals will be voting!!

Trump may not satisfy you. but glad to hear that you don’t plan to sit it out. You’re voting Trump, right?
This is a critical election and Trump is the only person standing between us and Clinton.

“Cult” may have been unfortunate choice of a pejorative by yourself to use against Trump:
cult n.
1. a. A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader.
b. The followers of such a religion or sect.
2. A system or community of religious worship and ritual.
3. The formal means of expressing religious reverence; religious ceremony and ritual.

Go Trump. Win win win.

Just breaking. Trump’s communication guy resigned after he was caught Tweeting, “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead”, after Corey was let go today.

That was uncalled for. Corey and about maybe 10 others started with Trump on the journey and Corey worked his ASS off, made tough decisions, in order for Trump to beat 17 others.

I regret things came to this and it was no a decision made on a personal level, but a professional one.

But there is no room and I mean no room for lambasting, denigrating, and acting immature on Corey being let go.

This guy will be in demand in the future.

Thanks Corey and if Trump wins I hope he will find you a job in the new administration, you helped get him there.

NEVER FORGET the last paragraph of "The Emperor's New Clothes" :

The Emperor shivered, for he suspected they were right. But he thought, "This procession has got to go on." So he walked more proudly than ever, as his noblemen held high the train that wasn't there at all.

I suspected Trump was in big trouble and only mainly because the American people are very stupid.

That you, Eros?

By the way this incident today reminds in a rather perfunctory way the movie “The Ides of March”, the George Clooney political drama.

First of all, I’m not convinced Trump is a conservative.

OK so please list 2 items the so called "real conservatives" have achieved.

Obamacare defunded?
Budget deficits eliminated?
National debt reduced?
Food stamps reduced?
Foreign Trade deficits reduced from ONE TRILLION $$ EVERY YEAR?
Wall built?
Muslim immigration without proper vetting stopped?
All Illegals deported?
ISIS defeated?

Sorry, I am done with all talk and no results!

A cleaner way to say that: She's the devil you know that makes you recoil in horror and throw up.

She's every bit as bad a candidate as Jeb, she just doesn't know it yet. Almost losing to a 74 year old, doddering fool who forgot the memo to hide the fact he's a full throated socialist is NOT a good sign.

So you believe Trump is not a conservative?
