What are your thoughts on Jesse Benton? Has he mismanaged the campaign so far?

According to Bella Shortt on Facebook:

Benton in the last 5 years
"1. he conceded to the romney folks that it was a-okay for them to work with the RNC for fundraising events etc and the victory campaign (in clear violation of rule 11 of the RNC rules).

2. He talked bad about ron paul supporters after the AZ and OK state conventions, basically chastising us and saying we need to be more respectful etc (when we were the ones that were disenfranchised there and some people even were physically attacked by romney supporters).

3. His memo is making ron paul supporters think there is no chance to win, and that the main goal of the campaign now is to simply change the party platform (which doesnt mean shit)."

4. Borat. For those who haven't seen it: CLICK HERE: Borat "interviewing" Ron Paul

We all know that Benton is not up to being Ron's campaign manager. We hope and pray Ron will realize this and get someone else soon.

I was so excited after seeing all of our recent conventions wins and how hard we've fought to win these delegates. All the time, money, sweat, emotion... and this asshole has the audacity to undermine our efforts and lower our morale? Ron Paul may have approved of the messages, but Jesse Benton misled Ron Paul into thinking we were being violent and causing disorder, when we're the ones who actually follow the fucking rules. It makes me sick.

Not just here, either. The RP haters, Demons and Repukes, are rejoicing over Benton's words.

Woods hasn't ever run for election and has certainly never won one. Is Benton the best? Almost certainly not. He's done a great job this time around though, with multiple convention victories and doubling primary results.

Benton hasn't done any of that. Get real. We've done that. This campaign was never top down.

Doubtful that Benton deserves credit for the convention victories, additional votes certainly and decisions on advertising style sure, but the conventions are being won by grassroots organization, often without any assistance from the campaign.

AND, they can continue winning conventions without any more help from the campaign..

I saw no support for the grassroots effort in 2008 from him here in MN personally, I don't expect him to have changed.

Yes, I'm a troll. I'm a troll that only comes out in the fullmoon light of Jessie Benton Epic Level Fail.

I called for the firing of Benton long time ago.

The campaign never once, never freaking once FIRED back at the media or the talk radio show hosts who lied and smeared Paul that started in Iowa once we took the top spot in the polls. I remember it so clearly. It was downhill from there. I wonder whose plan it was to completely ignore 60% of the Republican primary voters? i.e. the old folks who tend to be more religious. Who's plan was it to give the same speech over and over again on college campuses? Where were the attack ads against the policing the world candidates that are going to cause grandma to forfeit her SS and Medicare because we are going bankrupt? Ron did give a few great speeches. One was right after the NH primary. He was on freaking fire. Should have kept that speech uh?

What is done is done but please don't give Benton any credit for what the grassroots has done at state conventions.

States won by Benton? Zero! He let Iowa get away from us in the last week.

 

[libertybrewcity]

I liked him a lot in the beginning of the campaign. Things seemed to be going smoothly. When he was on TV he was very well spoken. Now I see why he was hated so much in 2008. This guy really sucks and I hope Ron Paul will fire him. He is sending mixed messages and it's very disheartening.

Liar, you don't have enough posts for that statement to qualify.

Do you think that rp would sacrifice his family to become president?. Just asking

He doesn't have to "sacrifice" Benton to replace him with a competent campaign manager.

 

[kill the banks]

we can rise up over any distractions or even our own mistakes let's work on the money bomb and keep winning delegates ... refocus and shoot to kill the bank
