Trump campaign chief reaches out to former Carter adviser

[DonViejo]

Stephen Bannon, Donald Trump’s newly installed campaign chief executive, met over the weekend with Patrick Caddell, the longtime Democratic pollster who rose to fame as an adviser to President Jimmy Carter.

Caddell’s huddle with Bannon came hours before Trump met Sunday with his top aides at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., for meetings and debate preparation. Bannon and Caddell have been speaking regularly since Bannon joined the campaign this month, the people said. Most often their conversations have revolved around what Trump could do in the coming weeks to expand his appeal, in particular with Democrats and independents.

Bannon sees Caddell, 66, as a seasoned hand and fellow anti-establishment agitator and has mulled bringing him onto the campaign, the people said. But since Caddell is busy with his own projects and television commentary, their exchanges so far have been informal.

Meanwhile, Breitbart has been prominently featuring Caddell’s political analysis.

1. Is that the guy that always has snot in his mustache? Used to see him on Hardball all the time. nt

2. He was the Democratic Party's Dick Morris

before there was a Dick Morris.

In other words...that asshat is Sean Hannity's favorite "Democrat".

Carter has tried to wipe this shit-stain off of his shoes for awhile now. To characterize Caddell as having anything remotely to do with Jimmy Carter today is laughable.

3. Yes since Caddell did such a great job advising Carter in 1980.

4. Always referred to on Faux News as "Democratic pollster" What a crock of shit he is!!!!
