BISMARCK, N.D. A constant stream of changes and scuffles are unsettling Donald J. Trumps 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 Partys 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.

I don’t suppose it occurred to these media dim bulbs
that any “bugs” placed in Trump campaign offices
might be placed there by the democrat opposition???

Another reason to never read nor trust any bs from the NY Slimes.
A quick scan of the headline reeks of the desperation of this dying killer of trees used as newsprint!

Liberals are liars, who think that we are idiots and will believe any bs they call news.

Half of Democrats don’t want Hillary as their nominee.
There is widespread resistance to her candidacy and for good reason.
She doesn’t inspire or excite any one.
And if Democrats feel she isn’t good enough for them, the country should follow their lead.

Objective (gag) reporting manages to find stuff on Donald.
But crooked Hillary...with a mountain of evidence..... gets a pass.

Oh noes!!! The Slimes is concerned that Rick the pr@&$ lost his job for being anything but a team player.
To me this firing shows that the folks who started with Trump still have access to him. Trump trusts them not the DC political class that is in it for the money

Trump connects with the millenials. His Twitter presence is the kind of thing millenials love....even the anti trumpets.

This is another not so artful spin by the New York Times to write a hit piece from nothing. Trump refused to speak to them: 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 wouldnt know how to write a good story about me if you tried dream on".
Exactly right, dream on!
To: georgiegirl
The New York Times is dying....
No wonder Trump told them he wouldn’t give them the time of day.
Hit piece journalism isn’t going to stop Trump.

Hey Ashley Parker -since you and everyone you know is a democrat why don’t you report on the problems Hillary and Bernie are having? You must have some insider information since your friends likely work for Hillary or Bernie... how come only ‘insider’ stuff when it comes to the people you hate and don’t know?
LOL I know...
Because you’re a biased one-sided liberal butt kisser?

Great success also has it's problems that have to be dealt with as well.
Trump will move quickly to stay on track.
