Republicans shook up Trump’s failing campaign today by promoting his pollster to campaign manager because she has a reputation for treating the Republican nominee like a child and keeping him “calm.”
Trump stated in the press release that his former pollster/new campaign manager will be traveling with him often, “Ms. Conway, a highly sought-after pollster, will work on messaging and travel frequently with Mr. Trump, while working closely with Mr. Bannon and Mr. Manafort on all aspects of the campaign moving forward.”
The reason why Kellyanne Conway will often be traveling with Trump tells voters everything they need to know about his temperament problem. According to a July 2016 Washington Post story, Trump’s new campaign manager treats Trump like she does her 11-year-old daughter:
Conway, 49, hints how she’ll tackle this challenge. You can’t just tell Trump what to do, she said. You have to give him options. She illustrates the point with a story about her 11-year-old daughter.
When Claudia emerged from her room on Memorial Day sporting turquoise, Conway asked her to change into blue. “She goes, ‘Turquoise is blue.’ And it is. But it wasn’t a shade available to Betsy Ross when she stayed up through the night sewing the damn flag.” She chose not to argue with the preteen, which would have delayed their morning. Instead, she laid out four Betsy Ross blue choices on her bed. “Minutes later,” she says, “she came out in one of those shades.”
Conway follows the same approach with the Republican presidential nominee. Never command. That could insult him. Always make suggestions, backed with information in 10-second sound bites: Betsy Ross lacked turquoise. Female voters want compassion.
Conway got promoted to campaign manager because Donald Trump needs a babysitter who will treat him like a child.

If the Pampers fit?

Just a little something I'm pondering. Trump brags he 'only hires the best and brightest', right?
Yet he keeps shaking up and changing his staff and advisers.
So do the people who are out and demoted suddenly not become the best and brightest? Did the new people suddenly become bester(sic) and brighter that the best and brightest they were replacing?
Inquiring minds want to know.

America is about to treat him like a child. In November America will do the equivalent of sending him back to boarding/military school. Anything to get him to 'go away' and STFU for a while (like his parents had to do).

Sad. Nevers are so bruised by the primaries they will embrace any negative, outlandish lie, in this case a false characterization about Trump, and disbelieve all the positive information about the nominee.
Nevers have their noses pushed out of joint and they are gonna remind everyone of that over and over on every thread, like children throwing a temper tantrum.
It's sad to see adults act this way on such an important matter as the future of their country.

At first I thought this thread was started to collect parody. I now suspect many of these people won't put Trump on their Christmas card list.
My son is a career military man. During the primaries he was a "Never Trumper" (however you say such a thing). I think he still was about a month after Cruz withdrew. Then he wavered. He will now vote for Trump.
Like most of us, he doesn't think he knows what Trump will do in any future event. None of us do. He has a massive capacity to disappoint. He may do things utterly exhilarating.
Clinton, on the other hand, will never disappoint. She will be consistent with her life. You expect her to be utterly corrupt 24 hours every day. Since we know that at the start, she can't disappoint us. She still can and will cause damage with every move.
Everything the press has said about Trump, even the material it has created out of decayed papyrus, can be applied to clinton, roughly tenfold.
Knowing what we know today, one of these two will take the oath of office in January. It sounds more and more like the most virulent Never Trumpeters (however you say such a thing) were also Never Republican. People who spend so many waking moments and so much energy trying to defeat Trump can look in the mirror and see a clinton shill staring back at them.
There is a comment early in this thread referring to a thought in a Washington Post story. If your agenda is to destroy Trump, the Post would be, at least, tied for your best source. The problem is, the Post would publish the same hit piece, again and again, regarding any Republican that managed to get the nod.

Thanks for your thoughtful comments. We need more posts like yours. I used to contribute quite a bit of comments here myself. Unfortunately, TBR, which has been my home for 7+ years has gotten a reputation now as a hate Trump, republican nominee, site. I post very little these day because of the wolf pack mentality here that attacks any positive news about the GOP nominee.

Ahem............ it is Donald Trump, who is a liberal, an insider, and a Clinton pal, and the only one of multiple actually Republican candidates who cannot beat, nor does not seem to want to beat his PAL, Hillary.
YOU are the one supporting a liberal, aligncare, and the idea that those of us who oppose him are liberals, is beyond ludicrous.
Trump voters are ushering in Hillary. Not those of us who oppose him.

These days I think defeating clinton is paramount.
Who can prevent her from winning i.e. which candidate has the best chance?

None anymore. We had a whole bunch who could have at the start of the primary, but we threw them all over for a loud-mouthed orange NYC liberal.

Trump was gift wrapped for United States citizens by McConnell, Boehner and Ryan and that ilk. They only opposed the obama agenda when there were no teeth in the opposition. Republican voters tumbled to that, mostly in the last two years.
I agree with Rush these days. Any and all of the original 17 would be a huge improvement over clinton. That said, many of the original 17 were quintessential insiders like Boehner, Ryan and McConnell.
Bush tossed his hat into the ring as a country without borders, common core, global warmist who said at the start he didn't need Republicans to win. So many of the others could rest comfortably in that mold. Some began as also ran asterisks and never improved on that.
I was never a Trump supporter. When he campaigned like a professional wrestler, well, that didn't help. You are likely right saying Trump is a liberal. I keep hoping he is a Kennedy or Humphrey kind of liberal who can stumble onto the right path, sometimes, even by accident. Kennedy was a tax cutter. Humphrey was ardently anti communist and also ardently pro-life.
Humphrey might be able to get nominated by Democrats these days. I doubt it unless he evolved into anti-American like most Democrat leaders are these days.
JFK would have no chance.
If President Trump doesn't hate the United States, that will be an improvement. Who knows? Maybe in Trump, the Republican(???) you might have a President Ryan and McConnell could oppose when it counts. You can add these to your short list of places Trump can help.
There isn't one thing clinton will ever do that will benefit the United States. She sold the office of Secretary of State and made the clintons billionaires in the process. How much will they get when she auctions off the nuclear football?
I just don't think there is any choice but to vote for Trump.

It ain't brain surgery.

Ignore AC. He's a very angry person who's been reduced to mindless ridicule.
Trump lovers can't say good things about their guy (at least and be telling the truth), so they are left with ridiculing people of principle.
I wish you had known the guy before Trump got a hold of him.
He was one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet.
I hope some day, the real aligncare comes back and this nasty one goes poof!

Ahh. Another Trump boot-licker threatening violence against people who won't bend the knee to his Orange God. You're disgusting.
Go back to the little kiddie safe space. This space is for the adults.
-
Done...see ya... :seeya:
Done ridiculing people who dare not agree with you, AC?
I doubt that. It's pretty much all you do lately isn't it?
What a pity. I want the other guy back. You know, the one with a conscience, and a kind word?
Whenever he reappears, please let me know. I'll be waiting......

Someone needs to propose a wager between the Trump supporters and the non-trump supporters. Maybe not monetary. I seriously doubt the Trump supporters feel strongly enough about him to do this.
-

I once felt that way. In 1992 I didn't vote for President because Bush lied when he said, "Read my lips..."
Enough Republicans felt the way I did that we ushered in 8 and maybe 16 years of clinton. The worst part of that decision was the MSM touted Bush's problem that year day after day and subsequently reinforced my decision to ignore Bush. Ergo, I was a puppet for Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings and whoever the puppeteer was at CNN. Rush Limbaugh hadn't made it to the Big Show yet, so Bush had no defenders beyond National Review, and their readership has always been too small for any sea change.
I like principles as much as the next guy. One of mine is this nation...going in the right direction...or more slowly in the wrong direction...is still to be saved and worth saving. Eight and, maybe, sixteen years of clinton is a pretty high price we paid because too many people like me needed our candidate to jump smartly through every hoop.
If you really voted for Bush, McCain and Romney, and now plan to sit it out, then you are voting, pure and simple. Bush was never going to win 10 electoral votes in Minnesota. Nevertheless, I regret to this day that I didn't vote for President in 1992.

Aligncare can't do anything other than attempt to ridicule people (he's not even very good at that). Whomever he used to be is clearly dead now. RIP.
At least he seems to have gone back to the kiddy room, where he won't bother the adults.

They already have Pence the pooper scooper, now they hire a baby sitter.

It's all he does.

I find this sad, we saw the same sort of crap adulation with the governator here in California. Just like Trump, AHHHNOLD presented himself to gullible voters as not just a Republican but a CONSERVATIVE and once he was in office we found out that we had elected a chameleon weasel that was actually a huge liberal that tried to cover up his betrayal by saying that he had to make deals (sound like someone you know) with the demonrats to get things done. Well I fell for the false conservative, constituent worshipped, back stabbing con man, once before and I swore that I would never fall for that crap again. So you and yours can make and post all the pretty little worship pictures of Trump you want, you own him,not me,and I will never vote for or support him.
-
Like most of us, he doesn't think he knows what Trump will do in any future event. None of us do. He has a massive capacity to disappoint. He may do things utterly exhilarating.
This stupid myth about not knowing what Trump will do must end.
He is a vile, vulgar, liberal sleazy con-man and rip-off artist, that is no mystery.
-
Nevertheless, I regret to this day that I didn't vote for President in 1992.
True, you have convinced me not to leave it blank, I will vote for Castle.

In fact it's a perfect description of one who cannot perceive the odor of one's regurgitated (or otherwise expelled from one's body) dirtiness.

@hiram1950
The positive effect of your vote was that there was an awakening that The People could hold The Elect responsible.
A somewhat conservative Congress was a resukt, too.
-
True, you have convinced me not to leave it blank, I will vote for Castle.
Oh I won't be staying home either. Just won't be voting for Hitlerly or Trump. Lot's of good down ticket candidates in my parts.

That'll fix 'em.

The point is not to "fix" anyone. It's to vote with a clear conscience, and not live to regret voting for a hard core liberal.... either Hillary or Trump.
I'm not going to have any regrets after I vote, but I think many who vote for either corrupt liberal will..........
-

Things often go awry, but, with good luck, we can listen to "Never Trumps" i.e. the No Trumpers tell us for the next four years, "I told you so," or, "Don't blame me."

I'm not entirely sure what a "Trump boot-licker" is. Idolizing most any human being wastes energy irretrievably. In this instance, all consuming hatred of a subject to the benefit of an equally or more contemptible rival might be self-consuming.

So how to explain the all-consuming worship Trumpkins have for Trump? How to explain that they all "have religion" and cannot abide by any criticism of him, to the point where they demanded - and got - their own little safe space on the forum, where only praise can be spoken of Trump, and from which anyone who dares to speak the least iota of criticism of Trump is banished? We have our very own mini-FR, just to accomodate the Trumpkins.
I don't see any #nevertrump demanding, much less being offered, a similar little kiddie romper room safe space.
You need to go look in the mirror if you want to start expatiating about hatred and and idolization.

Facts are interesting concepts.
Regarding Trump we seem to be treated day after day to "facts" about his flaws. Some facts about him since he announced as a Republican appear to have materialized out of thin air. I don't know him that well. We never met.
I was a Cruz guy. That made me a target in some circles from archers that made Never Trumpers amateurs in comparison.
I just think the bad guy in this race is clinton. I doubt she ever touched anything starting at least as far back as the Watergate Fire Nixon Committee that didn't leave raw sewage in her wake.

It's sad to see adults act this way on such an important matter as the future of their country.
Nice "concern troll" attempt.
Had this been a real post, there would been an attempt to refute the points made in the article with evidence disproving it. Links would be posted.

It's the same phenomenon as with the acolytes of the god-queen, Sarah Palin. No ill could be said against her without her Crusaders leaping forth to cleanse the 'apostasy'.

Well, you see, "day after day" there is actual EVIDENCE that he is deeply flawed. As for never meeting him........... do you read?
The problem is there are TWO bad guys in this election, and many of us can't in good conscience vote for either of them. No one here needs to be told that Hillary is corrupt. We know. But apparently some of you haven't read enough to realize that Trump is equally corrupt, and equally liberal, and probably more immoral.
As for the "Cruz guy" claim....... that's what many people say they were when they're new to the forum, and then they quickly jump into Cruz bashing mode and Trump praising.
It remains to be seen where you'll end up going, but precedent has clearly been set for a number saying they were what they clearly were not.

I'm not going to sit it out. I'm not voting for a NY Liberal, either. I am voting to try to bring another party into the fore. That will take time, but I'm not voting for a person so much as the principles they stand for, and they are in the Party Platform. If this year's person gets to uphold those principles, all the better, but that, in casino parlance, is a longshot.
I voted GOP until the GOP morphed Left, then voted for TEA party backed candidates here, because our TEA party groups were still not compromised by a national cadre, composed of GOP 'Moderates'. When most of the folks the TEA party movement helped get elected promptly forgot their promises at the podium by the time they were sworn in, it was obvious the GOP had moved on.
Oddly enough, a serious period of introspection pretty much proved I had not changed my positions on issues one whit. The GOP had moved on, to the Left, even as the Democrats like Hubert H Humphrey likely would be rejected as GOP candidates today for being too conservative, and not for being liberals.
I won't waste my vote. I'm voting against the Democrat and the Republican, on the basis of those principles I have held so long, but which both of those parties have, in practice, ignored of late. You can find them in the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, and in the voluminous writings of the Founders.
Let the chips fall where they may. Without awakening the somnolent and distracted population to the impending disaster that has been created by the Federal Government, it will continue in its state of normalcy bias, and the Republic will be lost. Drifting slowly to the Left will run us off the road just as effectively as cranking the wheel over, just fewer will be awake when that happens.
You are free to vote as you choose. Go for it. Save the world. My one vote will make little difference here, but when I face my Creator, at least I will be able to say I voted my conscience.

As for the "Cruz guy" claim....... that's what many people say they were when they're new to the forum, and then they quickly jump into Cruz bashing mode and Trump praising.
Well, I've never bashed Cruz. I'd like to see him get reelected in Texas.
If anyone can find a post I made here or on FR bashing Cruz, that would be a find that would justify buying a lottery ticket that day. In fact, it says right here you would have better luck with the lottery ticket.
Trump is equally corrupt and probably more immoral.
Now that would make an interesting mind stretch game. Take any soul in North America, claim he or she is as corrupt and more immoral than clinton, then look for anecdotes to prove it. We could have a tournament, and the winner of that tournament gets to replace Chris Matthews on Hard Ball.

Stick around TBR a while longer. It's not TOS, so you don't get banned for telling the truth about Trump's corruption and amorality.
There's plenty of factual evidence of his corruption, and his amoral lifestyle is something he's bragged about.
At any rate, I don't vote for amoral, corrupt liberals, so I'm not voting for Trump.

Evidently Trump's baby sitter was not on duty this morning:

Tried watching low-rated @Morning_Joe this morning, unwatchable! @morningmika is off the wall, a neurotic and not very bright mess!

Some day, when things calm down, I'll tell the real story of @JoeNBC and his very insecure long-time girlfriend, @morningmika. Two clowns!

Just when I begin to believe Trump is starting to take this running for president thing seriously he yacks up some silly trivial crap like this.
It looks more and more like he's in this to start his own media company, for which his running for president is just a marketing campaign.

This stupid myth about not knowing what Trump will do must end.
He is a vile, vulgar, liberal sleazy con-man and rip-off artist, that is no mystery.
The very thought of that bugger being President of the United States makes me sick.
