Poor Erica Freeman. No one ever knew her and now she’s so fired. But hey, that’s what you get for working for an unreconstructed, unapologetic racist, misogynist, and all-around bigot. Still, you’d think the Republican frontrunner would be all about hiring the supposedly smartest people for his campaign, right? How can anyone trust him to staff up the federal bureaucracy if he and his people can’t even handle the simple task of “person who circulates information to surrogates”?

Of course, that same memo was circulated to his entire top brass, so given that none of them put the kibosh on it, chances are they all had a hand in drafting it....

So all those people who aren’t so smart send that stupid information to his surrogates. Looks like Donaldo has a lot of firing to do.

Meanwhile, he’ll personally handle the task of delivering talking points to all his surrogates, because there’s really only one smart person in the entire world, except for Vladimir Putin, who is smart because he realizes how smart Trump is. And nothing works better in presidential campaign management than micromanaging every facet of it. If you want it done well, do it yourself, right?

All the way to the top.

6. I think it's what a lot of

business managers do...blame the secretary. I had one tell me that you always need someone to blame so it's never your fault. I believe that Trump sent that out and when it was rejected, that was his way of saving face.

17. No. The message wasn't rejected by anyone but him. He was on a conference call when it came up

because he was telling his people to go after journalists who asked questions about his racist comments and to keep criticizing the judge as being "Mexican" and therefore biased.

Then someone on the conference call* mentioned that a memo had gone around saying to dodge the subject when asked about it, and Trump asked who sent that memo out. Then he slapped it (and "stupid" staffers responsible for such messages) down hard.

*FYI: That someone was Jan Brewer.

24. Oh thanks.

I completely misunderstood.

[QED]

29. When Jan Brewer is the voice of reason in the campaign

you know it's in trouble.

[lonestarnot]

10. He did have that meeting with Big Dawg afterall, just say'n.

[spanone]

5. well, you put the team together moron. he's completely unhinged.

losing it.

over his head.

a racist.

[mucifer]

7. Not gonna win him back the Latino vote or the Muslim vote. Nice try tho.

[Wounded Bear]

9. Not gonna win the vote of his own staff at that rate..

[annabanana]

23. HA!

good one

[world wide wally]

8. I can't wait to see his cabinet and Supreme Court nominations

Is this for real?

12. Donald Trump Releases List of Possible Supreme Court Picks

20. Not to mention those 'really smart' negotiators he would in charge of future trade negotiations.

His record on choosing 'really smart' people is not good even in his own eyes.

11. I predict a medical emergency for the Donald. Probably something stress-related, due to overwork

and anxiety. They will say that he just pushed himself too hard and needs a long rest. The convention will nominate whoever they think matches up best with the unpopular Hillary. Keep in mind, the convention can nominate whoever the hell they want--to include Dan Quayle, Dick Cheney, or even George HW Bush. All are eligible.

[SwankyXomb]

16. I wouldn't put it past the Repulses

to try and assassinate him before the convention. Gets him out of the race and garners them a huge wave of sympathy.

28. An overdose of Viagra?

[HubertHeaver]

30. Make his head explode?

[Tess49]

13. The caption under his picture on this dailykos article is hilarious. n/t

[cagefreesoylentgreen]

14. I'm waiting for it

His staff needs to quit en mass, like yesterday. Just walk out and leave Trump to run the entire show by himself. Because he apparently thinks he doesn't need them anyway. Let's see how well he handles it on his own!

[tblue37]

18. As long as they get paid, they won't leave.

ON EDIT: Since his campaign is short on cash, though, they might end up getting stiffed or else having to wait on their paychecks from time to time. If that happens, then there will be a mass exodus for sure.

[63splitwindow]

15. well DUH... nt

[Skittles]

19. not talking about an ongoing criminal case is standard, solid advice

it is mind-boggling that people think this man would be capable of being PRESIDENT

[FSogol]

22. LOL, they are just following their leader.

[Downtown Hound]

25. "Staffed by people who aren't that smart..."

Such as yourself, Donnie?
