Roger Ailes. The former Fox News boss had reportedly served as an advisor to Trump throughout the campaign. He was said to have played a particularly important role as of late, helping him prepare for the presidential debates.
That's all changed now, according to Sherman and Vanity Fair contributing editor Sarah Ellison. The reason for the fallout depends on who you ask.
“Ailes’s camp said Ailes learned that Trump couldn’t focus—surprise, surprise—and that advising him was a waste of time,” Sherman said. “These debate prep sessions weren’t going anywhere.”
On the Trump side, Ellison said the story is different: “Even for the second debate, Ailes kept going off on tangents and talking about his war stories while he was supposed to be prepping Trump.”
Gee, two well known liars with different stories.
May have to flip a coin to decide who to believe in this one, but what does not seem to be in dispute is the fact that these two monstrous egos could not coexist in the same space.
I can only imagine how frustrating it was for Roger Ailes, who is used to holding up hoops for his employees to jump through, to work with a candidate who never listens to anybody and who seems determined to drive his campaign over a cliff.
On the plus side for Ailes (Or perhaps not.) there is talk of making a TV series which chronicles the end of his career at Fox News.
They are talking about getting Anthony Hopkins for the role of Roger Ailes but I think that the actor who pulled this off in the movie Blade would be the better choice.

Just listened to Ivanka talk about how she is not a surrogate. She sounded like a wife, particularly when she addressed their conversations. As a woman, Trump viscerally scares me. What if he is elected and this attitude toward women and minorities becomes a way of life? It has become that way already in isolated instances. Thanks God, almighty protector. what a crock.
DeleteWhat kind of surrogate? Don't tell me she was mistaken for a surrogate mother. Donald's mother? Who?

Russia wants to put the suspect with Assange?
A police spokesman, Jozef Bocan, said the man was arrested in a Prague hotel. After the arrest the suspect collapsed, received first aid treatment and was hospitalized

Too bad if he can't hear the debate and set off some twitter fun.

ReplyDeleteShepard Smith is of no sexual interest to Ailes, and due to Smith's sexual orientation he will not go after women in whom Ailes might be interested.
DeleteAnd he's a white man. So he poses no threat whatsoever to Ailes.
Bet Ailes hits on him. Gay guys are often compromised by straight men.
DeleteI see Trump looking like that eventually! Especially after becoming a 'loser' and eating Mexican food until Hell freezes over or The Wall is built!
ReplyDeletePoor Donald Baby! He'll be such a sore 'loser'!
THE WALL
Delete"The Culinary Union, long a Donald Trump antagonist in Las Vegas, is going to “build” a wall of taco trucks outside Trump’s hotel, just a couple miles from UNLV, site of the final presidential debate."
I just came back from Vegas where I had a view of the giant gold brick Trump tower. What I noticed right off was that it sits by itself at the north end of the strip, away from all the more established resort hotels - the classy Venetian, Palazzo, Cesars Palace, etc. Like even the Vegas hotels don't want him in the neighborhood
Delete"Bugsy" Siegel was more popular with the odds that were against him and look what happened at his place?

Gee, too bad. They have so much in common.
ReplyDeleteEspecially ogling and groping women. Probably too much competition for each other.
DeleteTrump can't handle the competition since all the women are going for the good looking better educated one.
DeleteRemember when Trump called his daughter a piece of ass. Not a daughter. I still maintain he tells her that she is not his daughter so he can hit on her.
DeleteI don't see how they are alike in any way. Maybe you can explain your post.

ReplyDelete"Trump should listen to this guy, because Newt, he’s what Republicans nowadays consider an intellectual."
"In the end, this is what we have:
An unprepared amateur who substitutes bluster and bombast for actual substance and preparation.

Those are your choices.

Trump needs all his women friends more than ever, right now. Right now, not next week or even tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHanging with Ailes has to be a killer for his reputation. He needs to make some new voters that are female. He has Melania and Kellyanne. There must be more woman that will speak up and give him support now when he needs it more than ever.
Trump is falling into a deep black hole he can never get out of if something doesn't change for him, NOW.
Like all the Republican women that support him come out of hiding and show what you are about and why you support him. If you won't do that for Trump, you won't do it for anyone. Republican women, the man, Donald Trump needs you now.
Whhhaaaaatttt? If hanging with Ailes would be a killer for his reputation? I thought just hanging with himself would be enough to do that. I mean, I am sure he has bankrupted many times because he's constantly paying shut up money out. And I heard somewhere along the line, on of the women who referred to him as an octopus.
DeleteTrump has no friends.
DeleteTrump has no friends unless they are on his payroll and paid to be his friend. As for Ailes, after he was fired from his last job he was unfirable....except by Trump....'nuff said, Trump thinks it's okay to sexually harass women.
DeleteYou seriously should have some type of a warning for that photo.
ReplyDeleteHeidiWY
You're right, that top photo of Ailes with Trump is terrifying.
DeleteProbably a good thing you didn't post the photo where Roger and Donald are talking stratergery with Rick Santorum and Sarah Palin.
DeleteTrump shows his character by bring in those women last debate and now Obama's brother. He tries to get into Hillary's head in the worst way. I hope Hillary knows some judo because last time he looked like he was going to do some bodily harm. He's not the kind to take losing lightly and everyone has, so far, given spoiled baby don his way.
ReplyDeleteI worried on that last debate that he would attack her physically... menacing doesn't even begin to describe it. The Secret Service will be on their toes tonight. If he did make a move on her physically...bye, bye Trump for sure.
DeleteObama's brother
DeleteThat is hilarious. I doubt Hil will think twice or once about it. Of course, he will have to lie and say something about it so he can be negative. No wonder Ailes would not see eye to eye with the maroon Trump. As dirty and creepy as Ailes is, I don't think his brain is that demolished to think a bro is some debate point.
Trump has really lost it. It looks like he will be around for awhile and we will get to see him lose more.
I do not understand why Obama's brother is supposed to mess with Hillary's composure. What an out of touch, unaware wackaloon he is.
DeleteHe brought the brother for something that his racist fans will laugh at. He doesn't respect that man. Its a joke. I am surprised that the man went.
DeleteIvanka's face looks good in photos but not so good as she speaks, very plastic and the pieces do not fit.
Trump's stunts show how desperate the Far Right Extremists have become- Trump is only trying to hold on to his base, they're all too aware that Trump is toxic to everyone else.
DeleteHi Granny Lou.
1:37pm
DeleteI know, right? Obama's half-brother looks like he should still be like chasing lions or wildebeest or some other creature over in Africa but Obama is so far beyond that.
Those two have no more in common than do Hillary and Trump. So weird to trot out his really, really black half-brother to try to influence Hillary. How strange.
I just read that asshole is bringing in Pat Smith the estranged mother of one of the Bengazi victims. They need to invent new words because there are none vile enough to describe tRump.
Delete1:37: that's not nice. And sadly he was brought on to be laughed at by the alt Dr.
DeletePat Smith the estranged mother
DeleteIf it's a woman, Trump needs women. Who was Smith estranged from?
I can't keep up with all the ladies and who does who.
ReplyDeletehttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/x2H-R4j9RQE/hqdefault.jpg
I'd say in this case they were both telling the truth. Trump can't focus and I'm sure Ailes, in frustration was spinning stories of his successes and why Trump needed to listen and focus.
ReplyDeleteYep. Neither of those pigs are going to sing and both are annoyed as hell.
But....isn't this delightful to read on the day of the debate. We know Donald didn't do any prepping except to memorize a few zingers and decide how he was going to attack Hillary's character. I guess he figures Chris Wallace is a push over who won't keep him on message or call time on him.
Trump doesn't understand that when he's a bully on stage, interrupting Clinton and refusing to yield when his time is up, that it negatively impacts him. He also doesn't understand how it hurts him to go off message and refuse to answer the question.
Hillary stays calm, on point, answers the question and rarely goes more than a few seconds over her time.
The debates are to help us determine who is more presidential and who is more fit for the office.
We could have stopped at the first one. The second (and third) will simply reinforce a decision we've already made.
But it will be entertaining.
(Damn, I should have bought stock in popcorn.)
They may well both be honest about that.
DeleteIt will be a unique debate tonight. It looks like Trumps will be spectacularly unprepared as usual.

Anthony Hopkins is busy with Westworld on HBO.
ReplyDeleteThe actor they *should* get is Pruitt Taylor Vince. I've seen him in a number of things and he is an excellent actor. Very underrated.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0898546/?ref_=tt_cl_t4
He wore a "fat suit" for an episode of House. Not sure if anyone remembers that one.
His most recent role that I recall was as J.J. LaRoche on The Mentalist.
Yeah. Trump is whacked. He invites Obama's half-brother as, I guess, a jab because BO told Trump to stop whining. But so what? Why waste a guest. It just looks silly and amateur. Trump also needs to bring female guests all the time to make him stronger, whether it be accusers of Bill (and he has a new one he's bringing tonight) or the mother of a deceased Smith of Benghazi and, too now, the then-girlfriend or fiancee of Chris Stevens. He has to invite woman after woman to give him a pair of balls, and he invites mostly women who have nothing directly to do with the campaign and his seating area is so tabloid. Some guests I get, sure, although it's still a sign of how desperate and needy Trump is. He thinks he's so macho? Hah!
ReplyDeleteAnd here we were, thinking that Sarah Palin's lamest and nastiest ideas were her own. Turns out they were purchased.
DeleteIam pretty sure Chris Stevens was Gay.
DeleteTrump Is Toast As Majority Of Voters Believe He Committed Sexual Assaults
ReplyDeleteThe Quinnipiac University poll shows Clinton leading Trump by 7 points nationally, but it got much worse for Republicans on the issues of Trump’s behavior towards women and his character:
American likely voters believe 51 – 31 percent that Trump assaulted several women. Democrats believe it 84 – 5 percent and independent voters believe it 45 – 34 percent. Republicans don’t believe it 56 – 22 percent.

ReplyDeleteOf course. For this opportunity, She probably had to pay her own way, hotel, and car etc. You would think she might think this is not a good idea.
Deletebut, but it was too far for her to attend the convention, but she can show up to the debate
DeleteI hope Hillary can keep from laughing herself off the stage tonight.
DeleteSarah Palin that is a real vote getter.
The evening could only be topped off with Trump having a full blown melt down.
I don't get it.Hillary is supposed to get rattled by President Obama's brother and President Obama's opponents VP candidate from 8 years ago?
DeleteWait,I figured it out! He is inviting those he plans to use as guest commentators for his new network! I would bet money on it.
DeleteIf true, that is great news. Sarah is such a threat to Hilary. Mr.s Trumps sure knows how to bait Hilary.
DeleteEww, thats all we need, a drunk, old, fat, hag, hoochie mama possibly in camera view. Ok, so not gonna watch. Dog show, except Hillary.
DeleteNah, he will say "ask sarah, I never grabbed her cat!!" "Prove it! Go on ask sarah." Lmao!
Delete3:42 yep something like that. At the debate they will pan his guest but I doubt they get much camera tonight. There will be plenty of film for later.
DeleteI think seeing Truman's attempt to bait her with this nonsense will make her laugh.
