Trump's New Team Designed To Alienate More Voters

I really try to not post about every Trump atrocity but it is really so hard because not only do they happen so continually but also because they are so egregious. Let’s just recount yesterday’s disasters. First, Trump has decided to get Roger Ailes to help him in his debate preparations. For a campaign that is hemorrhaging support among women, I’m thinking that hiring a guy who is a serial sexual harasser, if not worse, is probably not the best idea. Then, Trump apparently decided that staying on message and reading from a teleprompter were just not really his thing. I did not see Trump giving his teleprompted foreign policy speech but it was certainly apparent from just listening to it that he could barely stand sticking to the written script and not winging it. Combine that with the bad press about secret cash payments from Ukrainian dictators (with apparently more to come) and Paul Manafort was destined for the sidelines. Trump has decided that, if he’s going to go down to defeat, it will at least be doing it his way. What else can explain bringing in Steve Bannon, the head of Breitbart News, to become his campaign CEO, whatever that is. Kellyanne Conway, a longtime GOP PR flack will become campaign manager. Steve Bannon is a flamethrower who has a “pox on both their houses” when it comes to both the Republican and Democratic parties. According to an anonymous source within the Trump campaign, “Bannon will play to Trump’s worst sensibilities.” And that’s coming from a Trump supporter. Expect more outrages to come, possibly at an even more accelerated pace. The real question is whether there will be something, anything, that will force the cowards in the GOP leadership to finally repudiate Trump. Somehow I doubt it.
