And it is all the media's fault - social media, that is:

"...more than 50 current and former campaign employees who helped propel Trump through the primary elections. The campaign has employed a mix of veteran political operatives and outsiders. Most come across as dedicated, enthusiastic partisans, but at least seven expressed views that were overtly racially charged, supportive of violent actions or broadly hostile to Muslims."

Yes, they also reviewed clinton's staff member social media feed, along with images from the stolen DNC emails. Read the article to discover their findings on that.

Trump doesn't have the ability to hire the best talent. Most veteran operators are wary of being connected to his campaign. So he is basically scrapping from the bottom of the barrel in most cases. Hiring people with no political experience or people that haven't worked on campaigns in decades.

You are right. Actually, one of the staffers was quoted in the article as saying that basically, they were the only ones left to hire.

I think win or lose being connected to Trump is going to be a big black mark to employers. Kellyanne Conway is a bit insulated from the effects because she runs her own company. However, most people don't have that luxury really.

Not to mention, Mr. Trump clearly does not hire the best people even at the highest level of his campaign.

Exhibits A-E: Corey Lewandowski, Paul Manafort, Rick Wiley, Sam Nunberg, and Roger Stone.

Now that's an A Team . . . . . We know for certain that they were terrible choices, because they were fired. lol

Default Trump's paid campaign staff stocked with racists and religious bigots - AP

AP is out with a story today where they examined social media accounts of Trump's paid staff. The results are a disgusting smorgasbord of racism and bigotry. These are the kind of people cleaved to Trump and are working to see that he is elected President. No one should be fooled by Trump's latest "pivot". It's all a show created by his slimy staff.

Racism and talk of religious war: Trump staff's online posts

lol...Those pictures they posted aren't racist. Those Mexican ones are all over FB and have millions of likes. The real disgusting smorgasbord of racism and bigotry was the leaked DNC emails, this is simple deflection from those by yet another propaganda arm for the DNC, the AP. YAAAWWWNNNN

You know they are getting desperate when they start with the fake racism stuff again.

Trump is hitting hard with his focused messages, and they see him building momentum, and are desperately try to stop him.

Quick, put out more manipulated polls.

Yes. All a vast media conspiracy. Trump draws bigots like flies to dog poop. His staff apparently does not even think they need to be discreet in their postings.

Well, Hillary has cornered the market on worst, although considering her "needs" I guess they were a good fit for her. The fact that she, herself, is incompetent really is where the real issue lies.

One thing that escapes the Hillary supporters is that Trump supporters are focused on the issues, one more time: economy, jobs, security and healthcare. Hillary's supporters are focused on the same thing as Hillary, "lie and/or deflect".

We support Trump as the best candidate for POTUS. That isn't going to change with the ridiculous rhetoric coming from the left.
