There’s been a lot of response this morning on Twitter to the news of the Breitbart takeover of Trump’s campaign. And as you might imagine, much of it is quite sarcastic and clever:
Rinse & repeat: give a decent speech on an important topic and then eight hours later announce a personnel change that will step all over it

If the campaign personnel changes (adding top staff is a change) had kept secret since Sunday, why not wait until Friday night to announce?

The RNC shouldn't give a dime or help in anyway a campaign run by Breitbart. It's like funding CDC run by a Witch Doctor.

Trump couldn't even make it 36 hours as a semi-normal, disciplined candidate. But he's totes gonna save the Court, right @hughhewitt?

Step One: "The media is bought and paid for!!!"
Step Two: *candidate names leader of media org he allegedly paid, to be campaign CEO*

As I continue to make calls, I keep hearing that this was driven by Trump. He wanted to finish race on his own terms, w/ pals at his side.

Folks at Breitbart have long denied they're in tank for Trump. Now publisher runs Trump campaign. Dismissed as coincidence?

When I quit Breitbart, they were upset I called them Trump Pravda and specifically singled out Bannon as the betrayer of Andrew's legacy.

Somehow, the campaign that was run by randos, Russian agents, and right populist nationalists will blame it's loss on Paul Ryan.

Steve Bannon pulls off the ultimate lateral career move. From running Trump’s campaign to running Trump’s campaign.

There have been more Trump campaign managers than field offices in swing states

top GOP strategist tells me Trump campaign shakeup will accelerate party move to shift resources toward House/Senate races, away from Trump

Reince has to realize now that he and the RNC will be scapegoated viciously by Trump on the stump in Oct if the race isn’t close

Trump hiring the head of Breitbart to be his campaign CEO is the pivot we've all been waiting for.
