15/ Then along came the Puerto Rico moment…

“LaCivita dictated a short statement to the communications team that was blasted out to reporters across the arena, distancing the campaign from Hinchcliffe, while Wiles pulled the former president aside and explained the situation. (Trump, aides told me, was merely annoyed at the time; only after watching television coverage the next morning would he rage about how Wiles, LaCivita, and Caporale had “fucked this up.”)”

18/ Via Emptywheel:

The real punchline of TimAlberta's latest profile is that some subset of Trump's OWN STAFFERS agree with #Harris: It's time to turn the page.

Note: Those staffers could reach out to Liz Cheney for directions on how to endorse the Vice President -- it's not too late.

If I were Trump I'd be wondering if those "turn the page" staffers were the ones arranging for the mics that keep failing.

Enemies within and all that?
