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.”

He’s the only one SAYING it. What he will actually do remains to be seen. His greatest asset is that the media will prevent him from limiting our rights, should he choose to do so. If Hillary gets into power, the media will assist her in taking away our freedom.
I don’t use sarcasm tags.

“The Trump campaign realizes he is hopelessly behind.”
Have you seen, by the way, any polls lately? Even the one the MSM did cartwheels over was a phony outlier.
God bless you!
The demoralizing was getting a bit rank for the TRUMP TRAIN’s premier website of warriors.
It isn’t always easy to be a battle station LEADER, but you’ve made the BEST of the best.
“this is not a good ending.”
Reagan fired his campaign director during his run.
The VIKING KITTIES are as pretty as they are mighty!
WHOO HOO!
It’s one thing to fire him, after having gotten the campaign to where it is (or was two weeks ago) but there is no need to publicize the details of the meeting, to note that he was escorted out of the building. That just is nasty to the man who did do good for the campaign. Could have been handled differently, privately.
This feels/reads like a public flogging. Totally undeserved.
“Manafort has been running the campaign for several mos. Corey was not happy at second fiddle and they let him go.”
I think you are on to something.
THANK you, Col Freeper!!
I miss that butt hurt form. I miss *theoldlady too!
“He has NO voting record therefore Jeb, Mitt, McCain and Co all have a more conservative voting record than Trump..”
Jim Robinson has NO voting record. You mean he is not a conservative? Most of us on this site have NO voting record.
Wondered about that, too.
Appeee P, Do you rattle off every thought that comes into your head?
You sound like someone visiting the halls of one branch of the ARMED SERVICES, hanging around there, and moaning your opinion out loud against their accomplishments, as compared to the proofs of excellence elsewhere, held by the other branches.
Loiter elsewhere. You’re on private property.
This evolution has been happening for a while now. It is basically just a manifestation of the transition from Corey to Manafort. No shocks here.
Earned media.
Check your mail.
lol
Getting someone better in. Trump is not messing around. He wants to win. And that’s good to see.
