Trump replaces campaign manager amid slide in opinion polls

President Donald Trump demoted his longtime campaign manager on Wednesday, a move aimed at shoring up his re-election bid as he trails Democratic candidate Joe Biden in opinion polls less than four months before the Nov. 3 vote.

In a Facebook post, Trump said campaign manager Brad Parscale would be replaced by Bill Stepien, who has been the deputy campaign manager. Parscale will shift to a role focused on digital and data strategy, the president said.

I knew the lessons of 2016 would be lost. Too predictable. The left is actually doing it again. Maybe the media does this to enrage leftist voters when it doesn’t come true on election night. Like last time. Except this time Trump might want to be in Florida for a few weeks after he wins again.

I have no crystal ball but here is my logic...he will NOT lose Michigan (Whitmer, manufacturing jobs/trade issues, lockdowns, higher than predicted black support) Therefore he will NOT lose the electoral college. We’ll see.

[ The very last thing I’d do is read the AP, NY Times, Reuters, etc looking for this crap. ]

Same here. With rare exception. Fore example, I posted one on DeNiro because it showed what a ________ he really is.

Yep, we all come across an occasional mainstream article, but it seems a few people post nothing but that swill. As someone mentioned it’s demoralizing.

I saw the Article was from Reuters and figured it was lies and spin. I didn’t even waste my time reading it, the comments here would be more interesting and valuable.

Reuters FAKE NEWS. This is a strategic move by Trump.

BOTH Brad Parscale and Bill Stepien will be involved... they are simply assuming NEW positions because Trump wants to employ a DIFFERENT campaign strategy.



I had the same thought seeing this story parading around the media circus tent. Except I was thinking that the Deputy would be assuming the current activities. The Parscale moves in and grows the digital strategy.

This is a power move!

That’s what they do at Yayhooooo. Post negative article after negative article about President Trump. Every single day of the week they blast it constantly.

They are trying to wear people down.

This is just another example of the media’s constant effort to portray the Trump campaign and administration as being in a state of constant chaos.

This has been going on for 4 years, and people still fall for it.

I’m seeing the same enthusiasm for him around Pittsburgh as I saw in 2016.

“Al-Reuters”.

I will never forget that day in September 2005 when, while downrange in al-Anbar Province, we found a Reuters ‘correspondent’ embedded with al-Qaeda.

I neither forget nor forgive.

WHY WOULDN’T PRESIDENT TRUMP SHUFFLE HIS TEAM FOR THE 2020 CAMPAIGN?

If they're doing a good job then why would he want to reshuffle? You don't fire someone who is doing their job well.

Because the current strategy isn't working?

It was clear when Brad Parscale was named campaign manager that it was an interim promotion.

Brad is a digital whiz who is great as a master of the internet and that was all that was needed until the campaign season got hot. That said, it was a great job for Brad because he gets to add “Campaign Manager for the President” to his resume.

Now the President needs a REAL campaign manager and don’t be surprise if the changes CM several times between now and November.

Pittsburgher here too.

Fewer yard signs here than last time around because of the whacko violent left. But even more enthusiasm by residents for the President.

So he made a change in staff. Big deal. If the guy’s ineffective let him go now not later.

Brad Parscale was Ivanka and Jared’s boy.
Both need to say the hell away from Trump.
