He was a lobbyist who represented one client who sought funds from the federal stimulus program and then another, a group backed by the Koch brothers, who opposed it. He was a political operative who once debated a cardboard cutout of the Democratic governor of New Hampshire to protest tax rates. And he was a congressional aide who was arrested after he brought a gun to work, then sued when he did not get it back. Perhaps not surprisingly, the campaign manager for Donald J. Trump’s unorthodox bid for president, Corey Lewandowski, a 40yearold New Hampshire resident, does not have a conventional résumé. In searching for someone to steer his effort, Mr. Trump went not to someone with a depth of experience in national elections, but to someone he appears to see as a kindred spirit: a deeply ambitious, sometimesmercurial master of selfreinvention (he has also been a New Hampshire state public safety officer and a real estate agent). And, like Mr. Trump, exactly what his political leanings are beyond a belief in small government is uncertain. Mr. Lewandowski’s unconventional background is matched by his unconventional approach to managing a campaign. While some candidates look for a manager who will rein in their impulses, Mr. Lewandowski channels them. He is not interested in telling Mr. Trump what to do or in being a master strategist. His greatest attribute, Mr. Trump said in an interview, is that “he knows when to speak up.” “He leaves me alone, but he knows when to make his presence felt,” Mr. Trump said. Mr. Lewandowski spends his days traveling with the candidate or working out of his boss’s Trump Tower headquarters in Manhattan, putting together the schedules, speaking with organizers in earlyvoting states and handling a staff that is mostly based elsewhere.

I don’t care about Trump’s campaign manager.
Flak: over target.
I like the cut of Landowski’s jib.
Ship Trump: Meet iceberg.
Everybody wants yer gun...until they want you to save their lives.
Cop, realtor, hustler. Like me. Real person.
Hardly! This goes nowhere.
Nope. No sinkee. Another regular guy we unwashed can identify with.
Goin’ somewhere with me! I like this rogue!
Will Corey get Duckin’ Donald to a debate?
I meant the charges are going nowhere. They will be dismissed.
Yes indeed. Right straight into the arms of the clever anti Trump narratives the Dems n’ Fems are constructing right now, which will be formidable.
Oh. That’s different. :^*
Well, their wedgie-squeals are...uh...more amusing than effective.
Only the shills in the press, net, and video media echo it. Real people guffaw at their effete attempts at horror. Over the top hilarious....and very transparent.
Few are fooled.
cruz supporters resorting to using the nyt as an anti-Trump source. Always good to have something to laugh at late at night, thanks.
Wow. How ODD that a former law enforcement officer would be comfortable bringing a gun to work...
Maybe because he'd done it a "few" times before? LOL!
All I see here is a bunch of stinking Cruz Monkeys throwing their sh!t on a good man who didn’t do anything and never did anything wrong, and it’s making want to puke.
Cruz sickens me. The people around him sicken me.
They can have this sleaze bag, I do not give a damn crap what happens to this toad.
Done with him and them.
What we voting fodder do appreciate is that while Trump has the back of a loyal employee who was doing his job, the other two said they'd fire him.
