I wonder what trump hopes to accomplish by firing Brett Loyd, Mike Baselice and Adam Geller while ignoring realty of what the polls say?:roll:
<Privately, the president was livid that the numbers leaked out, according to White House and campaign officials.>
<“He is madder that the numbers are out than that the numbers exist,” said one senior administration official.>
<Trump’s “kill the messenger” strategy in response to the leaked polling data reflects his desire to show strength at all times, even <in the face of less-than-favorable news from within his own campaign.>
<The disclosure of the polling data has upended what has been a relatively smooth-running reelection operation so far — and highlights the stark challenges the president faces in forging a coalition to repeat his 2016 victory. While there has been some tension between Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and White House adviser, and Republican National Committee officials, it has largely remained behind the scenes.>
<Several campaign advisers said they were dismayed by the leak of the polling data — but that the numbers, and conversations with advisers, explained Trump’s fixation on Biden, who is leading early public polls in the race for the 2020 Democratic nomination.
Trump has complained to staffers about the polling data disclosure for several days, White House and campaign advisers said.>
<After the leak of the internal polling, both Parscale and Fabrizio argued that the numbers were out-of-date and that once the Trump campaign “defined” Democrats to respondents, the numbers shifted in Trump’s favor.>
<“The Trump internal campaign data being reported is incomplete and misleading,” Fabrizio said in a statement Friday. “The old numbers from March being reported represent a worst-case scenario in the most unfavorable turnout model possible.”>
