Although I never heard the mainstream media, who are paid millions of dollars for not offering the truth or the facts to the American people, question Trump’s choice of his top campaign staffers; I did. First came Kellyanne Conway. She has no experience in presidential campaigns, and although some might believe that makes her a perfect fit for the inexperienced Trump as his campaign manager. I doubted that she would be effective; I was right.
His next two choices were the former head of ‘Breitbart,’ an extreme right wing blog known for its prejudices, including homophobia, misogyny, Islamophobia, and association with white supremacist groups, including the KKK. Steve Bannon is known for his anti-Semitic beliefs, his hatred for the LGBT community, and as a member of “Alt-Right,” a white supremacist group with more money. He has absolutely no experience in campaign situations, but is now the CEO of Trump’s campaign.
No one ever heard of David Bossie, unless you follow politics closely. Although he is now the deputy campaign manager, he has never held office, worked in a campaign at any level, or in anything else related to politics. What I remember is that he led the effort to discredit Bill Clinton in 1992. He did everything from creating conspiracy theories to peeking into windows to find “dirt” on the man opposing George H.W. Bush.
The reason they are all running Trump’s campaign is billionaire Robert Mercer. He ordered Trump to hire them. Kellyanne Conway worked for Ted Cruz, the man Mercer formerly supported. He was involved in funding Breitbart, and his reasons for hiring Bossie are obvious.
This is now backfiring on the billionaire who seeks to become a “king maker.” Kellyanne Conway is nothing more than a “spin doctor” whose purpose is to clean-up the messes made by a “free-wheeling Donald Trump.”
Thursday she was on the daytime talk show, “The View.” She didn’t have a very good time. She was asked about Trump’s continual “fat-shaming” of women, and his reported illegal business dealings in Cuba during the embargo.
Her answers were not satisfactory; it appears her fame as a ‘spin doctor’ is fading. When she left the show, she followed her bosses lead and tweeted her obvious displeasure with her appearance.
“For those getting hard news fr. @TheView, biz officials tell me Trump: 1) did no biz in Cuba 2) respected embargo 3) was critical of Castro”

On Friday’s show, Jedediah Bila, a former FOX News correspondent, slammed Conway for her weak attempt to attack the women on her show.
“I come from hard news, Kellyanne, so don’t tell me about hard news from The View,” Bila said. “You want some hard news from The View? We’ll give you hard news from The View!”
I do not believe that Bila and her coworkers will be supporting Donald Trump. Although their broadcast is in no way intended to be a “hardcore news show,” their purpose is to invite guests who are willing to answer questions in an effort to inform those who watch daytime television. Conway failed as badly as she has in the past when she appeared on “Real Time with Bill Maher.”
With a totally unqualified candidate, and a horrible campaign staff who equals Trump in their lack of knowledge and ability, why should Trump be anywhere near Hillary in the polls? The media has not only supported Trump for 15 months, they gave him a ‘free pass’ by not requiring him to answer the tough questions. Once again, a woman has been held to a higher standard than a man.
Shame on ABC, NBC, CBS, and others.
We need women to lead our nation; men have failed for 240 years. If you agree, please repost. Thank you.
