It’s a good read and a quick read (took me less than two hours to finish)<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This sounds like it is about Corey Lewandowski:<\/p>\n

\nAbout a week after my July Trump interview, I went for a drink with a senior staffer. What did he think of Trump\u2019s chances of making it to the convention? I asked. \u201cOne in ten,\u201d he said. I told him about the unlikely way I got my assignment. He told me about his family back home. And with that I was ready to get on with my night. I looked at my watch. I had dinner with a friend.
\nI need to get out of here.
\nAt the door of the restaurant, he had a question for me.
\n\u201cWhere can I go to meet thirty-something single women?\u201d
\n\u201cYou have a wife and kids.\u201d
\n\u201cSo what?\u201d
\nI laughed the way you laugh when your friend\u2019s grandparent makes a racist joke.
\n\u201cI don\u2019t know. I\u2019ll see you later.\u201d
\nI tried to forget the exchange. Nothing I hadn\u2019t heard before. Also: men.
\nI don\u2019t know what the staffer thought after that. He was nice for a little while. He\u2019d text back quickly, trying to answer my questions. But he wasn\u2019t entirely professional. He\u2019d call at late hours, say disparaging things about women I worked with, comment on people\u2019s looks, claim well-respected female reporters were \u201cfucking\u201d this guy or that one. He\u2019d tell me that he could prove it because he\u2019d seen \u201ctext messages.\u201d
\nWhen the campaign sent water bottles and Trump towels to \u201csweaty Marco\u201d Rubio, I texted the staffer to confirm it. His response: \u201cYou need some? I\u2019m sure you get all sweaty sometimes too.\u201d
\nAt a campaign stop in Waterloo, Iowa, he bragged to Anthony and me about all the women who would want to sleep with him when he became Trump\u2019s White House chief of staff. (So much for Trump\u2019s chances being \u201cone in ten.\u201d)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
