All this from a man who could have lived every day of the rest of his life in unimaginable luxury, but chose to save this country and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

“They’re failures,” said Corey Lewandowski of the “consultant class” and “Conservative Inc.” on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight, describing the success of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign as partly built on rejecting professional political consultants.
Lewandowski agreed with SiriusXM host Rebecca Mansour’s framing of Trump’s presidential campaign as having a revolutionary effect on “the whole political landscape.”
Lewandowski was joined by David Bossie to discuss their new book, Let Trump Be Trump: The Inside Story of His Rise to the Presidency, a memoir of their work with Trump’s presidential campaign.

The whole system stinks on ice.
Reminds me of the media who decry the amount spent on campaigns...but local TV/radio are raking in $$$ with every repetitive ad. Of course the media will claim that advertising, specifically negative advertising, will work - they’re filling the hours with it!
In addition to the spell being broken re: campaign consultants, the article of faith that says flooding the airwaves will shift electoral outcomes was disproven on a grand scale in 2016.
Win or lose the campaign managers checks always cash.
The next domino to fall should the concept of Polls. They aren’t real. It’s just manipulation of gullible people. Polling is a form of advertising.

Manafort was in and out in about 10 minutes..
With or without the red, the evil in her eyes shines forth. The way she is looking at Trump in that picture, that is the vindictive look of someone who wants to cause misery and is thinking of the most hurtful things to say. It's the Nurse Ratched look.
She was probably fantasizing about ways to kill him.
Amen. And never more so than in the age of caller ID, caller blacklists and the general necessity of having to block out calls from telemarketers including ‘surveys’ that are merely an attempt to skirt the law.
Polls are sixty questions long in many cases. They take 15-20 minutes to respond to. The pollsters (selling their snake oil) would have us believe that every response to every question was valid, the result of thought and/or strong sentiment and/or familiarity with the issues/candidates, etc.
Poll respondents often must disclose age, income, religious affiliation, sexuality, family size, occupation, education level, etc. The pollsters have some eg zip code and median income therein but must ask the rest. Anyone who reveals any of this, especially to a total stranger, is a fool.
Polls are doubly insidious because they are either treated as an infallible oracle by lazy writers of all parties and ideologies in DC or they are ignored if they fail to reinforce the writer’s biases. Michael Barone and Byron York are often regarded as GOP leaners but who are generally respected. However, they are as addicted to polls and the ‘bogus pipeline’ (as we said in psych classes) as anyone inside the Beltway. Reliance on polls is also an unspoken statement that these reporters/writers don’t REALLY care about what flyover country thinks; if they did, they’d be on a plane to ask in person.
Bottom line: anyone responding to a poll is either too foolish, lazy or bored to decline the poll. The sample is flawed, the questions are flawed, the responses are flawed. And that’s BEFORE the pollsters put their thumb on the scale and ‘weight’ the poll.
Let this be a lesson to future campaigns. Political consultants, like any other specialist needs to keep up with the times. Running a campaign in 2016 like it was 2000 won’t work anymore.
One of the most important articles yet on this subject. The consultanting class are the devious a$$clowns floating around DC.
It is said that Yeb's campaign manager made something like 10 million dollars for his failed campaign.
In short - the financial interests of the modern political consultant gives us a person who's the opposite of what's needed by the American people for their Representatives.
Yep, system stinks...
Karl Rove and Billy Kristol are NOT happy with this headline.
Add Mike Murphy to the LOSER CLASS also
The point was not necessarily to win elections, but to keep US from electing anyone who would side with US and the rule of law.
Mike Murphy got a nice chunk of change for losing Jeb’s campaign.
Dumb@sses Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace immediately come to mind.
