LAS VEGAS — Donald J. Trump (http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/us/elections/donald-trump-on-the-issues.html?inline=nyt-per) has shaken up his presidential campaign for the second time in two months, hiring a top executive from the conservative website Breitbart News and promoting a senior adviser in an effort to right his faltering campaign (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/14/us/politics/donald-trump-campaign-gop.html).

Stephen Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News LLC, will become the Republican campaign’s chief executive, and Kellyanne Conway, a senior adviser and pollster for Mr. Trump and his running mate, Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana, will become the campaign manager.

Paul Manafort (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/20/us/politics/paul-manafort-trump.html), the campaign chairman, will retain his title.

But the staffing change, hammered out on Sunday and set to be formally announced Wednesday morning, was seen by some as a demotion for Mr. Manafort.



'Most Dangerous Political Operative in America'

This Man Is the Most Dangerous Political Operative in America

Bannon’s life is a succession of Gatsbyish reinventions that made him rich and landed him squarely in the middle of the 2016 presidential race: He’s been a naval officer, investment banker, minor Hollywood player, and political impresario. When former Disney chief Michael Ovitz’s empire was falling to pieces, Bannon sat Ovitz down in his living room and delivered the news that he was finished. When Sarah Palin was at the height of her fame, Bannon was whispering in her ear. When Donald Trump decided to blow up the Republican presidential field, Bannon encouraged his circus-like visit to the U.S.-Mexico border. John Boehner just quit as House speaker because of the mutinous frenzy Bannon and his confederates whipped up among conservatives. Today, backed by mysterious investors and a stream of Seinfeld royalties, he sits at the nexus of what Hillary Clinton once dubbed “the vast right-wing conspiracy,” where he and his network have done more than anyone else to complicate her presidential ambitions—and they plan to do more. But this “conspiracy,” at least under Bannon, has mutated into something different from what Clinton described: It’s as eager to go after establishment Republicans such as Boehner or Jeb Bush as Democrats like Clinton.

Sorry, folks, it's easier to cut and paste. This man is the source of conspiracy theories on the right, not facts. Trump's appeal to uneducated white voters is based on these conspiracy theories. It's exactly why Trump won't allow certain news reporters at his campaign rallies, and why he hates other major news reporters like Washington Post.

I am educated; I would match my education, life accomplishments and intelligence against yours any day. I support the man because it delights me to see liberals have conniptions over the man after the dunce they elected twice to the White House. I didn't support him in the primaries because he was too much like Obama only with an "R".

I absolutely understand why dishonest low information liberals would support a corrupt, sociopathic lying, inept, incompetent, unaccomplished political hack like Hillary however.

How many press conferences has Hillary allowed? Why is it the media won't report on her campaign rallies and subsequent attendance? ;)

When your campaign is run by Breitbart News, then you know you've reached the bottom :laugh:

That's a heck of a lot of fear mongering wrapped up in a thick cloak of intellectual dishonesty.

[Bo-4]

To heck with Manafort and his tone it down crap. Trump looks like a robot in front of a teleprompter (he failed to heed my advice to take lessons from Ivanka).

I love it .. he's much more entertaining as an uncaged beast - and he'll never expand his support!

We hear a lot of talk about media bias against Trump....but this makes 2 former news people (Ailes & Bannon) that have gone to work for Trump. These people were reporting the news recently. go figure....

You are a foolish poster who normally makes absolutely no sense.

This is one of those normal times for you.

So, a guy leaves a news organization to run a campaign and you claim the news agency is in charge?

Are you as concerned about all the former Clinton administration people currently working in the media?

Key word..... Former......

they "were" in the media. Now they are not.

[Tahuyaman]

It's amazing how some people can be so concerned and outraged over people leaving the media to work for a campaign, but be complete silent about people leaving partisan politics and take jobs in the media.

Would that be a hypocrisy on their part?

[DGUtley]

Nope - we couldn't be happier! :D

Somehow I doubt that.

1. Breitbart has NEVER been considered a legitimate news site.

2. Some of the most racist comments in the history of the internet have appeared in the Breitbart comment sections.

3. This new campaign staff seals Trump's doom.

It should be more entertaining though.

I don't know Fair.org but I don't trust Huffpo or MM - both liberal rags, kind of like BB is IMHO. The SPLC has gone way off the rails lately; its branded quite a number of groups and people as racist or with the hate charge - (Family Research Council for one) it's played that card well. Personally, not a fan of BB Site b/c there's a lot of hyperbole there rather than reporting, but you've made some awfully broad statements.

Key word..... Former......

they "were" in the media. Now they are not.

So you believe they were completely unbiased in their reporting of Trump while they were actively reporting the news? Did they have an epiphany one morning and decide to support Trump? Sorry....they both slanted the reporting to favor Trump while still pretending to be fair & balanced (HA!) To pretend otherwise is to ignore reality. While pointing fingers about bias some folks should look in the mirror. I have no problem accepting that some sources are biased for Clinton but I also have no problem realizing that the same situation has existed for the Trump side. Time to give up those victim cards.

In Ailes case I can say that if he did have a relationship with Trump, it did not impact how Fox News reported on Trump's campaign. Now, Ailes has absolutely no power or authority ove anything at Fox

I'm more concerned about people who leave a campaign or administration and move into the media. They now have the ability to shape stories and send out a specific spin to the public. They can now service their agenda.

Once you you leave the media, you have no influence over how stories are reported.

I think we would be hearing screams about accuracy of reporting if the head of NBC quit & went to work for the Clinton campaign.
