LOL! Dana Bash says Trump campaign, including Manafort, are very frustrated

[applegrove]

with how the Trump campaign is going. They want to focus on Hillary Clinton and follow actual strategy.

[MFM008]

1. im greatly saddened.

[liberalmuse]

2. Saw this on my feed...

?@JohnJHarwood
longtime ally of Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager: "Manafort not challenging Trump anymore. Mailing it in. Staff suicidal."

[Johnny2X2X]

4. Manafort is pure evil.

His handy work is corrupt and brutal dictatorships around the world. Hope he quits.

[anamandujano]

5. That deserves a "Wow!"

[liberalmuse]

7. A retweet of the above with a comment from an embed...

A Drumpf campaign source, in reax to this, tells me "it's all true" and "way worse than people realize."

[liberalmuse]

10. Yeah, it's Twitter, after all. A cesspool I dip into from time to time.

I just thought it was interesting, but there seems to be a few sources stating there is some frustration within the ranks (not surprising at all).

Of course Manafort is denying it. I wonder if the rumors are from the fired staffers?

[Hortensis]

37. Fwiw, Lawrence O'Donnell showed both tweets

on his show last night as valid. NBC chief WA correspondent John Harwood, the one in the second tweet, was on the show too.

Of course, we all knew it had to be really bad there with Trump going off like a box of fireworks left too close to a fire. They all so deserve...so much worse.

[SticksnStones]

8. This should be an OP

Wow! Mailing it in? That's a huge story!

[Paula Sims]

18. WRONG -- it's a HUUUUUUUUUUUGE story. . . :)

[SticksnStones]

22. I stand corrected!

[NewJeffCT]

32. so, Trump is in his own little bubble?

if Manafort can't reach him...

The only one that can maybe save him is Ivanka?

[Iliyah]

3. What strategy?

[emulatorloo]

6. Aww

[Jarqui]

11. Let's look at what has happened recently, in no particular order

and my list is probably incomplete:

- the back and forth with the Khan family that Trump can never win
- the stupid purple heart remark that prompts the Duckworth tweet
- the wacky, unsubstantiated, off-the-wall claim that the election is rigged
- Trump: 'I know far more about foreign policy' than Obama - another claim he cannot win
- McConnell, Christie and Ryan and McCain speak out against Trump's position with the Khans
- Obama hammers Trump as being unfit
- declines to endorse McCain & Ryan and criticizes Kelly Ayotte "as a weak and disloyal leader" who won't endorse him
- Top Maine Republicans decline to attend his rally
- Hillary books $100 mil in ads, Trump < $1 mil
- Hillary raises $90 mil in July, Trump $36 mil
- Trump plummets in the polls
- Trump loses decision in Trump U fraud lawsuit - prepare for discovery
- Trump 'Get the baby out of here' - at his rally
- Trump disparages Harrisburg, PA as looking like a war zone
- Trump goes after CNN, Washington Post and New York Times on twitter
- French President expresses revulsion at Trump
- a few GOP members break ranks expressing they will vote for Clinton
- Trump spokeswoman blames Obama for 2004 death of Cpt Khan
- Trump takes heat for going after fire marshal when Fire marshal doing was Trump campaign agreed to
- Trump Foreign Policy Adviser Traveled To Russia Prior To Changes In GOP Platform
- Newsweek story comes out:

http://www.newsweek.com/2016/08/12/donald-trumps-business-failures-election-2016-486091.html
- Meg Whitman (R), Calls Donald Trump a ‘Demagogue,’ Will Support Hillary Clinton
- Donald Trump Made Boneheaded Comments About Sexual Harassment. Then His Son Made It Worse.
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/08/donald-trump-eric-trump-clueless-sexual-harassment

That's just the last couple of days. It's a dizzying shotgun blast of issues at his campaign which is spiraling out of control - because Trump can't handle it

[Ilsa]

13. You can probably keep this list running with

Daily (maybe hourly ) additions of his latest comments indicating that he lives in an alternate universe.

[Paula Sims]

19. Don't forget the one where Donnie's son says he apologized to Mr. Kahn

Looks like mental illness DOES run in the family.

[applegrove]

14. Great list. Thank you.

[uponit7771]

16. +1, "That's just the last couple of days."

[ailsagirl]

17. It IS dizzying

And I'm finding I need to limit myself to how much I read because it does get overwhelming!

That's quite a list-- and only the tip of the iceberg, amazingly

Can't make this stuff up

[AgadorSparticus]

20. That's a good list. Lets keep adding to this. Please keep updating it and post it for us.

Thanks!

[stevenleser]

23. That should be an OP so we can link to it on Facebook and Twitter! nt

[Cha]

24. Well done, Jarquie.. Mahalo!

[anamandujano]

25. Herr Trump, this is why your numbers are down. This is why the election will not be rigged.

I hope they are tackling the issue of his attempt to foment violence i̶f̶ when he loses.

[malaise]

30. Good work

Keep 'em coming

[NewJeffCT]

34. By the time November gets here

you may have a novel on your hands!

[avebury]

36. This needs is own OP so we can keep the

thread alive with daily updates.

[VMA131Marine]

12. He's not been the official nominee for even 2 weeks yet!

There's still too much time left before the election; we need to stay focused.

[writes3000]

21. This is the ONLY Trump campaign leaders can try to get control of Trump. Running to the media.

Because Trump is OBSESSED with how the media covers him. So he'll pay attention to this SOS.

[pinboy3niner]

26. NOBODY puts the big baby in the corner!

[Warren DeMontague]

29. for the win.

[malaise]

31. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahha

[pinboy3niner]

33. Perfect!

[denbot]

27. Let Trump Be Trump..

The GOP has earned this little dipshit. 100/1 in TV buys against Capt Combover so far. Hillary will likely go policy, while her surrogates, Bernie, and occasionally even the President of the United States will lay into that Tang stained idiot until November 8th.

He is comically thin skinned, and is just getting a hint of what's in store, Even now he must feel more pressure then he's ever imagined existed. I have no doubt that the Cheeto will lose his shit on national TV. His fans will see nothing wrong with it, but it should scare a lot of Americans into really taking a look at what is at stake.

[Warren DeMontague]

28. you work for an egomaniac whose selling point is "hey- no one tells me what to do"

Shockingly enough, now, you can't tell him what to do.
