AP: In need of help, Trump finds few willing to work for him

“To compete against Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump has finally conceded, he needs more than the bare-bones campaign team that led him to primary success. Yet he’s finding that many of the GOP’s most experienced political aides just aren’t willing to work for him,” the AP reports.

“From Texas to New Hampshire, well-respected members of the Republican Party’s professional class say they can’t look past their deep personal and professional reservations about the presumptive presidential nominee.”

“There are exceptions, but many operatives who best understand the mechanics of presidential politics fear that taking a Trump paycheck might stain their resumes, spook other clients and even cause problems at home.”

because even those who don't mind his bigotry and crudeness would not hire someone who managed such a failure of a campaign.

is anybody really surprised? This goes beyond politics. Anybody who doesn't know what an asshole he is has to be in serious denial or willfully ignorant.

Yeah, I really want to work for someone who's signature line is "You're fired!"

Dear Mr Trump. Welcome to real reality.

The only people who like him are the racists from the lunatic fringe. So why doesn't he have the KKK and the neo-Nazis work for him? They're willing to do his dirty work.
