Was Corey Lewandowski Really the Problem?

Thanks for all your help, matey. Now over the side with ye and be quick about it!

If the account in the Times is correct, then the floundering on the bridge of the Good Ship Yooge is beginning to reach critical mass.

The loss of Mr. Lewandowski was intended as part of a larger shift toward the final sprint of the race, according to those briefed on the matter. Mr. Trump had faced increasing concerns from allies and donors, as well as his children, about the next phase of the campaign. It is a move that could reassure donors and Republicans more broadly that he can adjust toward a November election strategy. Two people briefed on the move, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that Mr. Lewandowski was fired. The campaign manager was seen as having a hostile relationship with many members of the national press corps who cover Mr. Trump, and many officials at the Republican National Committee had strained relationships with him.

Somehow, I don't see Trump firing this guy because he was mean to the national press corps. I suspect some members of the extended Trump clan lined up against Lewandowski and that was the ballgame.
