Lewandowski escorted out of Trump Tower by security per @KatyTurNBC / @AprilDRyan @KristalHigh @rolandsmartin

And not even a Trump steak!

Does that mean he will go back to NH and take them out of Trumps column?

[sinkspur]

Wonder how long it will take an embittered Lewandowski to lash out at Trump and Manafort now?

His book is going to be sumthin'!

[Timber Rattler]

Not really.  It means they're afraid he'll take stuff that doesn't belong to him, like internal data, polling numbers, lists, contributors, all sorts of data, and that he may do damage, such as erasing computer files.

If Lewandowski was smart, he would already have all of that safely tucked away in a safe deposit box somewhere for just this occasion.

[Oceander]

True enough.  But he wouldn't be able to destroy anything on his way out. 

[Gov Bean Counter]

That means it wasn't mutual, wasn't friendly, and was sprung on Lewandowski.  You only frog-march peApple like that if you're afraid they'll get up to no good if left to themselves.

Or if you are afraid he is going to beat the living $#!+ out of you.

[Timber Rattler]

And out into the street he goes...

And out into the street he goes...

Say... does anyone know what those triangle-shaped badges on their lapels are supposed to represent? 

[LottieDah]

That is really low, if true.  Say what you want about Lewandowski he got Trump to here when nobody thought it would be possible.  But not Lewandowski or Manafort or the Lord Jesus Himself can keep Trump from self-destructing from here on out.

"...But not Lewandowski or Manafort or the Lord Jesus Himself can keep Trump from self-destructing from here on out..

From your keyboard to God's eyes.  Let the self-destruction begin.

From your keyboard to God's eyes.  Let the self-destruction begin.

But will it happen fast enough to benefit those of us who still want to see a conservative in office?  Or will Trump conveniently hold out until it's too late to do anything about it, thus ensuring Hillary wins (which is what I suspect he's doing).

[sinkspur]

Ivanka must have the final say.

I think purple triangles are symbols used often by gay people.

[mlizzy]

and the pod people....

That struck me as r-e-a-l-l-y funny [thank you!!] ...

Usually for security to easily identify those authorized to be in a certain secure area.  But they let him keep it as they escorted him out?  Odd!

Correct, they are identification pins VIPs in campaigns wear (similar to Congressional pins). If anything like Congressional pins, they now even have RFID chips in them to make identifying official staffers easier. I am surprised he was escorted out still wearing it unless it was an oversight, they can deactivate it and let him keep it as a memento, or possibly he isn't officially gone yet (all that HR stuff).

Too bad Trump won't fire himself, because that is the only way the GOP can gain the presidency and retain the senate in 2016.

I recall not long ago you had a different point of view. Didn't you previously say the hard part for Trump would be the primaries and that the general election against Hillary would be relatively easy for him, and also that he would win -- as I recall. Am I wrong about that? And if so, in your mind what has changed?

In fact, I recall agreeing with you on that.

[Gov Bean Counter]

And out into the street he goes...

Sorry Cory. You aren't a wartime consigliere.

[LMAO]

In went over there and all I heard was the theme from "Deliverance".

 

[Hoodat]

Say what you want about Lewandowski he got Trump to here when nobody thought it would be possible.

Keep in mind that he got a helluva lot of help from the MSM and from cross-over Dem voters.

[sinkspur]

Reminiscent of Tessio:  "Tell Donald I always liked him."

[Hoodat]

     Are you sure it's not a pledge pin?

[Gov Bean Counter]

[geronl]

I dunno.  I just took a peek over at TOS, and the pod people seem very perplexed and confused by this news.

They are waiting for their marching orders

I did.  I thought that Trump was a marketing genius back then.  Now I see that Trump just does not have the capability.  His misspelled tweets are the tip of the iceberg, but they reveal what his interviews and speeches reveal: an intellectually lazy, or possibly incapable, man who is unwilling or unable to master the finer points of policy and politics.  I thought he would grow in stature once he won the nomination.  Instead, he has shrunk in stature.  He comes across as self-absorbed, petty and vindictive. 

I assumed that because he had been so successful in property development and media entertainment, that those skills would transfer to his presidential campaign.  At this point I am at a loss to explain his former success, because he is utterly failing as a Republican candidate.

Also, I never liked or supported him, as you know.  But I did once think he would wipe the floor with Hillary Clinton.  I no longer think so.  Trump can still back out of the nomination, and he does probably have the capability to decide the nominee as his price for doing so.  If he really is interested in defeating Hillary and saving the party, he should do so.

[Mechanicos]

Sorry Cory. You aren't a wartime consigliere.

Have heard from two sources security didn’t walk him out. Friends walked him to door to say goodby. Media spin ? They. Want to make it look bad

[EtX]

The whacking begins.......

This is definitely NOT a hot topic over at tRumpRepublic. Its thread 31 from the top and the only one with any mention of the FIRING.
