#2 One Yang staffer who was cut loose after his Iowa campaign was dumbfounded by the lack of communication.

I'll do the communicating for them, bunky - "Here's your last check; now GTFO!"

Former campaign employees who were granted anonymity to speak candidly said many people expected staffing changes after New Hampshire, not Iowa.

In other words, they got canned this week instead of next week, and Yang's probably calling it quits after SC.

#6 There can be only one. And whoever he is, he’ll need trained staff... and who else will there be available other than the staff cast off by the losers of this particularly amusing race?

#7 I find it amazing that a minor <5% candidate can afford 230 paid staff. Way too much money in politics.
