Republican strategist and regular CNN contributor Alex Castellanos, August 7: “He could skin a baby seal on the steps of the Capitol and his vote would say awesome, that’s great. You know, if you can’t stand up to Megyn Kelly, how are you going to stand up to Putin? Whining makes you weak, which makes you less presidential. He is not helping himself.”
Castellanos, August 17: “If you think the Republican Party hasn’t alienated enough Hispanics, enough women, enough young voters, why Donald Trump’s immigration plan is going to be great for you, you are going to love that.”
Castellanos, August 20: “ Trump has suggested Canadian-style, single-payer, socialized medicine would be better for us, if only smart, successful and really rich people like him would manage it. We should not be surprised if his “fantastic” health care plan emerges left of Obamacare…Donald Trump does not believe the old leviathan has grown too powerful. Instead, he believes he should have the reins. All we have to do is give the strongman the power to make everything work.”
Castellanos, January 31: “It’s not about issues with Trump.”
Castellanos, March 1: “In 2016, if we continue to confirm the cliché of the GOP as visionless, angry, and unkind, we risk bringing on ourselves a Mondale-like presidential defeat, and we might also lose the U.S. Senate and suffer a catastrophic loss of seats in the House.”
The news today: “A new super PAC supporting Trump and backed by one of his close friends has hired the strategist Alex Castellanos to cut advertisements and work on strategy.”
Just think, Trump campaigned on the theme that Washington’s consultant class had no principles…
