Ailes is the Trump-whisperer. As he has done with Nixon, Reagan and Bush I, Ailes is helping Trump prepare for the debates. As Carville said: They’ve got Roger Stone and Roger Ailes, all they need now is Dick Morris to round out the trifecta. The ghost of Roy Cohn is going to be in the room as they prepare for three debates.
Stephen Bannon, a former banker who runs the influential conservative outlet Breitbart News and is known for his fiercely anti-establishment politics, has been named the Trump campaign’s chief executive. Kellyanne Conway, a veteran Republican pollster who has been close to Trump for years, will assume the role of campaign manager.“Fiercely anti-establishment “ might be one way of putting it. Bannon is best known for having an antagonistic relationship with the truth and being willing to fake any video, fabricate any number, generate any lie, ruin any life, so long as it serves to feed headlines. A former Goldman-Sachs banker, Bannon championed Sarah Palin before moving to Team Trump. If there’s a Hillary Clinton conspiracy circulating, Bannon created it, funded it, or promoted it.
Kellyanne Conway is a right-wing pollster, former adviser to Newt Gingrich, and last year headed up a Ted Cruz super-PAC. She’s a specialist on testing how ideas and language work within a campaign, a frequent TV talking head, and a free-roaming conservative meme generator.
Trump’s Putin-entangled current campaign manager, Paul Manafort, will stay on, but it seems clear his position will be diminished.
For anyone expecting Trump to tone down his rhetoric on the home stretch, this move signals absolutely the opposite approach. Bannon is the origin of many of the conspiracies that eventually emerge from Trump’s lips—for example the idea that Hillary Clinton is somehow medically incapable of being president is a conspiracy theory that Bannon’s site has been hammering for weeks and which Trump has began to slide into his speeches.

If he even shows up. He’ll probably refuse any moderator who isn’t Hannity.
