The Spin

With the media refusing to hold Harris's socialist ideas and hollow policy agenda to account, Trump's campaign shakeup brings in savvy veterans with track records of defeating the America's left-wing elite. With Trump once again up against the establishment machine, the GOP is wise to once again seek the support of those who provedknow victoryhow to betake possiblethem inon 2016and win.

Trump's desperate decision to bring Lewandowski and his lackeys back into the fold is a testament to Harris's continued momentum and the GOP's stuttering campaign. With Lewandowski infamous for his dubious stance of letting "Trump be Trump," it seems the former president remains set on ignoring internal advice to focus on policy and has chosen instead to double down on vulgar attacks against the Democratic ticket.
