    Now are any of them fugitives from justice? Just checking.

    This cracks me up. Instead of the candidates on YouTube, we get their campaign managers. It’s as if free media is beneath their dignity.

    Kudos to John Brabender for stating the fact that Trump is the new Ron Paul.

    You forgot to mention Bobby Jindal’s manager in your intro. But considering how lame and uninteresting he was, you can be forgiven. No wonder Jindal is going nowhere.

    After listening to Terry Sullivan, I’m more interested in Rubio. Just the whole way they are conserving the money is enough to get me interested. I’ve never counted Rubio out, but Terry has me looking his way more.

    I am only halfway through. Its really boring and uninsightful. Of course, every manager is confident in their approach, even though most all them will lose, most badly.  They spout talking point cliches about their candidates. Rubio’s campaign doing it on the cheap was sorta interesting. But not a lot of interesting material so far. I will listen to the rest, but don’t expect much.

    Am I the only one who found Danny Diaz (Bush’s guy) insufferable?

    No.  He came across as defensive and off-putting.

    I don’t remember who the penultimate manager was, or whose he was, but he highlighted to me one of our major problems when he said something to the effect that Trump’s campaign had caused the whole “consulting class” to reconsider how to run campaigns.
