Not a Trump person so I never heard of this guy. So what happened, did he have an ego as big as the Donald? I don't think it's related to any of the current news going on. Sounds internal.

unpossible

I don’t think this is any big deal. People will come and go at these campaigns.

[MeshugeMikey]

who could not “guess” that a trump presidency wouldnt be as frought with insider stuggles....

the last word I think of when I think of trump is stability.

Yes I Must repeat hes SAID some in your face stuff to the “progressives”, but I still dont TRUST the man..

[Longbow1969]

Way too early to know. Trump will of course say he fired him, Stone will claim he quit.

Maybe his advisors have been running his twitter account. In which case firing whoever is rage tweeting is a good idea.

[Texas Songwriter]

roger Stone is a body, builder, pervert. Trump should never have had him on the team.

[South40]

Mr. Trump wants to keep the focus of the campaign on how to Make America Great Again,"

By criticizing Megyn Kelly and her line of questioning?

[dowcaet]

Roger Stone has been around since the Nixon years. He’s another one of these eastern establishment types. In other words, a RINO consultant/hired gun who advises anybody for the right price. Trump did well to jettison that loser.

[Red Steel]

This happened a week ago.

Roger Stone was the Anthony Wiener of the Republican Party:

Robert Costa ‏@costareports 19m19 minutes ago Trump just called @washingtonpost again. Said, "I want to surround myself only w/ the best and most serious ppl. We want top of line pros."

[kabar]

Good for Trump. You assemble the team you need. Don’t be afraid to make changes.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I didn't realize he was Trump's top advisor. Here are some highlights from his Wiki:

Stone and his wife Ann found the group Republicans for Choice in 1989.

In 1995, Stone was the president of Republican Senator Arlen Specter's campaign for the 1996 Republican Presidential nomination.

In 1996, Stone resigned from a post as a volunteer spokesman in Robert Dole's campaign for president after The National Enquirer wrote that Stone had placed ads and pictures in racy swingers publications and a website seeking sexual partners for himself and his second wife, Nydia. While he does enjoy frequenting "Miami Velvet," a swingers club in Miami, Stone initially denied the report.

In [the 2004] election, a blogger accused Stone of responsibility for the "Kerry-Specter" campaign materials that were circulated in Pennsylvania.[28] Such signs were considered controversial because they were seen as an effort to get Democrats who supported Kerry to vote for then Republican Senator Arlen Specter in heavily Democratic Philadelphia.

In January 2008, Stone founded Citizens United Not Timid, an anti-Hillary Clinton 527 group with an intentionally obscene acronym.

Stone endorsed Governor Gary Johnson's presidential campaign in the 2012 Republican primary.

Roger Stone used to do talk radio is 2011 in support of Donald Trump running which he never did then. Last week the guy bashed the liberal republicans on CNN and idiot Geraldo chimed in bashing Stone. The two fought on twitter. Geraldo said he would kick Stone’s ass. That was all I heard.

Roger Stone ‏@RogerJStoneJr 10m10 minutes ago Sorry @realDonaldTrump didn't fire me- I fired Trump. Diasagree with diversion to food fight with @megynkelly away core issue messages

[SE Mom]

Oh my.

For those old enough to remember Lee Atwater...he and Stone worked together sometimes.

Very bright, sleazy and cutthroat. .

[Reno89519]

Wonder if timing is related to current furor of Bimbo Kelly or something else? Curious to see what Stone did or didn’t do. I’m sure the campaigns will all jettison people, par for the course. Watching...

[eddie willers]

I’m sure Trump will just say he was on the rag.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Who knows what happened. I wasn’t aware that Roger Stone was a political consultant. I am familiar with him as an author of a number of books.

Hey it happens. Difference in philosophy.

[Chauncey Uppercrust]

All you Trump bashers, you are in good company, Maureen Dowd is with you...live with that

BTW this is directed at all the Trump Bashers here, not one person in particular

Erick Erickson is a loser, he was against Trump before the debate, he also trashed Sarah Palin as did Megyn Kelly, this is fact

[caww]

This is old news...that happened last week I think...the guy was already on his way out.
