I must admit that last night, when I saw that Donald Trump was once again delivering a boring teleprompted speech -- his second one in two days -- I got nervous. First of all, I was generally concerned that Trump might actually be trying to move on from the cluster-fuck of the last few weeks and into the realm of serious-minded campaigning. Second, I was specifically concerned that we might have seen the end to Trump's unscripted rallies and thus the end to Donald saying stupid shit.
Well, I no longer have those concerns:
For the second time in less than two months, Donald Trump has shaken up his presidential campaign. The first was when he fired former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski back on June 20. And the second came late last night, when we learned that Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen Bannon is the campaign's new CEO, while pollster and current adviser Kellyanne Conway has been promoted to campaign manager. Current Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort will remain in his job, but his influence will diminish.The Washington Post had this to say about the campaign shake-up: "Trump's turn away from Manafort is in part a reversion to how he ran his campaign in the primary with then-campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. Lewandowski's mantra was 'let Trump be Trump' and Trump wants to get back to that type of campaign culture."
Let Trump be Trump -- I like the sound of that.
