Kim Guilfoyle, Don Jr. Reportedly Stranded Trump Staffers In South Dakota
After Guilfoyle tested positive for COVID-19, she and the presidents son apparently took a jet back to New York, leaving staffers to fend for themselvesan incident some say is emblematic of the turmoil on her fundraising team.

Kimberly Guilfoyle may not have the Trump surname, but she certainly fits in, evidently possessing that special blend of incompetence and carelessness thats central to the family brand. Guilfoyle, a former Fox News personality and girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr., formally joined the presidents re-election bid as a senior adviser in 2019 and has been serving since February as the campaigns national finance chair. In some respects shes been successful, helping Donald Trump to build up a considerable war chest. But, according to Politico, shes also overseen a money-raising operation rife with chaos, cronyism, and backstabbing.
Republicans familiar with her fundraising unit told the outlet that Guilfoyles staff is in a state of upheaval, with employees leaving and being replaced by additions with little to no relevant experience other than connections to Guilfoyle and her deputy, Sergio Gor, who has feuded with longtime fundraiser Caroline Wren. Caught between Gor and Wren, staffers have reportedly been further upset by Guilfoyle claiming credit for their workand for apparent disregard for rank-and-file campaign workers, as evidenced by an episode earlier this month in which she and Don Jr. left junior staffers stranded in South Dakota after she tested positive for COVID-19.
The couple had originally made plans to road trip back to New York from South Dakota, where the president gave a dark and divisive speech in front of Mount Rushmore, but apparently took a private flight instead, leaving several junior campaign staffers whod been in contact with the infected Guilfoyle behind to quarantine alone in their hotel rooms, scared theyd get sick in a city theyd never set foot in before, according to Politico. The incident left the staffers so shaken that they reportedly sought out campaign chief of staff Stephanie Alexander weeks later, and several last week sought a meeting with Brad Parscale, though that fell through after he took the fall for the sputtering campaign.

(935 posts)Another unqualified wife/daughter/lover of the President or his spawn, getting paid to run something they have no business coming anywhere near. What could go wrong? Vector Guilfoyle. Keep up the good work. Just go ahead and take the money and run. Like Brad did.

BOSTON -- From the moment Mitt Romney stepped off stage Tuesday night, having just delivered a brief concession speech he wrote only that evening, the massive infrastructure surrounding his campaign quickly began to disassemble itself.
Aides taking cabs home late that night got rude awakenings when they found the credit cards linked to the campaign no longer worked.
"Fiscally conservative," sighed one aide the next day.

One last time, let's reiterate: In the House of Romney, there are only two kinds of people Romneys and The Help:

(42,610 posts)than driving back what with the need to stop for food, bathroom breaks, hotels and also Secret Service agents for Don Jr. Just own it. Say that in the interest of everyones health and safety Don Jr or Don Sr or the campaign was footing the bill for a private plane. They lie about so many things they dont need to lie about.
