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.”

But then, I am the suspicious sort.;-)
So it seems all the of the polls being “rigged” was just that, talk. The Trump campaign realizes he is hopelessly behind.
I suspected Trump was in big trouble and only mainly because the American people are very stupid. The decision on who to vote for is based solely on Social Media, Reality TV and the media. No campaign strategy can over come that influence.
Brace yourselves for President Hillary....and the final destruction of the nation.
A dangerous move by Trump. He may have some deep dirt on Trump that he could sell to Hillary.
“I suspected Trump was in big trouble and”
Nope. He hasn’t been running the campaign for months. He is abrasive and was finally tossed out.
Lewandowski will be courted by every MSM network and outlet.
He will probably be a “booth commentator” at the Republican Convention.
What in the world are you talking about?
If Lewandowski schedules a meeting with Hillary or one of her lieutenants it could get interesting.
Mark Simone, a friend of Trump, said he was fired more than a month ago. Why the announcement today, I have no idea. I’m listening to talk radio and not paying any attention to ‘the news’.
Maybe he was hitting on Trumps wife.
With his children more involved now, perhaps this was the scale with the finger. When Corey seemed to be hounded by bogus charges, Mr. T. Stood firmly beside him. Monafort being in the picture now, and with more experience, he would be the finger. Being personally escorted from the building seems a bit dramatic....but may be truthful. Mr. T. would not agree to fire anyone he thought highly competent.
Roger Stone/Info Wars will certainly be give us the dish on this. Soon, I hope.
And with you arriving here less then a year ago...I suspect you're a scheming mole.
this is not a good ending...not that i’m a fan of Lewandowski but you know the criminal liberal media will be lining up to get this guy on their shows to talk...
Already been live on CNN for the last 10 minutes.
I agree with your take.
Prepare for hillary? Perhaps but not so fast. The ugly truth is most people don’t like either candidate and are kind of embarrased by it all — except for diehards on both sides. It all comes down to turn out. Our side will have to turn out an even extra portion to offset dem cheating. It will be tough sledding.
More paid media for Trump. Brilliant.
My fear is folks will vote for Hillary because she’s the “Devil You Know”.
What a ridiculous statement. The majority of people who support him want to give someone else besides the political class the chance to fix this sinking ship before it's too late.
Just what has the GOP done to:
and that's just for starters.
The damned GOP won't even bring up for a vote, something like Kate's law (on it's own).
