Donald Trump’s Campaign Stumbles as It Tries to Go Big (Desperate Media Alert)
New York Times ^ | 5/27/2016 | Ashley Parker

BISMARCK, N.D. — A constant stream of changes and scuffles are unsettling Donald J. Trump’s campaign team, including the abrupt dismissal this week of his national political director.

A sense of paranoia is growing among his campaign staff members, including some who have told associates they believe that their Trump Tower offices in New York may be bugged, according to three people briefed on the conversations.

And there is confusion among his donors, who want to give money to a “super PAC” supporting Mr. Trump, but have received conflicting signals from top aides about which one to support.

On Thursday, Mr. Trump secured the Republican Party’s nomination for president, a remarkable achievement for a political newcomer. But inside his campaign, the limits of his managerial style — reliant on his gut and built around his unpredictable personality — are vividly on display, according to interviews with nearly a dozen Republicans inside and outside of the operation.

Yes. The campaign fails - just as it clinches the nomination with 1237 delegates. /s

Claptrap balderdash.

The NY Times and WaPost are in full propaganda mode now.

Don’t waste time with them.

I read the article. The reporter’s assertion is “supported” by virtually no facts. It’s a rehash of old material that has been thrown at Trump for months:

1. No communications director.
2. He is his best advisor.
3. Minimal organization in many states.
4. Acting like he is still in the primaries.
5. RINO sources of information.

This is another NY Times (ineffective) hit piece.

They never mention that Hillary is struggling to dispatch Bernie, that she can’t seem to get over half of Democrats to even vote for her and that her lies re e-mail gate have rendered her toxic.

But Trump is the one who can’t run a national campaign. Yeah, sure.

Its completely transparent.

Asked for comment about his management style, and the current state of his campaign, Mr. Trump declined, criticizing the reporters writing this article. “You two wouldn’t know how to write a good story about me if you tried — dream on,” Mr. Trump said in an email relayed by his spokeswoman, Hope Hicks.


Trump knows who he’s dealing with with the NYTimes.

I watched parts of the recent Trump family special on Gretta.

There is talk about Trump not connecting with millennials.

What I saw was three very articulate, clean cut, normal,hardworking Trump family millennials that will and are delivering a message that will be political mana for those wanting something to feed them. The Trump millennials will deliver a more powerful message than any tight sphincterd hired pseudo women can for hillary.

The millennial war is won before it even starts

I call pieces like this (from both sides) "hope pieces" rather than hit pieces. They aren't even propaganda; they are a form of affinity advertisement.

He’ll probably beat her even worse if he fails.

The left is whistling frantically past some really vast and frightening graveyards. Much as I fear the apparent omnipotence of vote fraud this season, I am beginning to hope. If Trump pulls off a win big enough, say 2 to 1, that declaring the Democrat the winner will set off a real rebellion, then I think the count will be something on the order of a half % win for Trump. The left is not secure enough yet to suppress a real rebellion but wants the room to claim “no mandate.”

The MSM is swinging the bat furiously and really smacking the air. Can you make an own goal in baseball? fan the pitch and run madly to third base?

Trump is letting the MSM run his campaign, or at least provide his needed publicity by constantly feeding them overpowered ammunition that bursts the guns when fired.

propaganda

There might be some truth to it, with the transitions going on. Mr. Trump is a problem solver. Some time for him back in Trump Tower sorting it out will probably put the campaign where it needs to be. That firing this week is an indication of that; bringing a guy in from the horribly mismanaged Walker campaign seemed weird.
