Whatever can you mean?!

He's probably a multimillionaire anyway - I don't know what his job before was.

He’s another ****.

In April 2009, Azar became Vice President of Lilly's U.S. Managed Healthcare Services organization and its Puerto Rico affiliate.[19] In 2009, the company paid $1.415 billion to settle criminal charges regarding its promotion of antipsychotic drug Zyprexa (olanzapine) for off-label uses between 1999 and 2005.[18]

Effective January 1, 2012, Azar became President of Lilly USA, LLC, the largest division of Eli Lilly and Company, and was responsible for the company's entire operations in the United States.[19] Prices for drugs rose substantially under Azar's leadership, including the tripling of the cost of the company's top-selling insulin drug. Also under Azar's watch, Eli Lilly was one of three companies accused in a class-action lawsuit of exploiting the drug pricing system to increase profits for insulin. Eli Lilly was also fined in Mexico for colluding on the price of insulin.[20][21] In connection with the position, Azar served on the board of directors of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization, a pharmaceutical lobby.[22]

Organising is what the right have been doing for ages - just that they aren't doing it publicly. Look how many pies they have their fingers in - look how they are all interconnected in business - look how they seek to use their wealth to gain political influence..........its not all by chance you know.

Lobbying is ubiquitous but we're talking about more normal people on the left vs right, specifically the fringes and in relation to social media. I don't think you can doubt that the far left (of whatever shape) is far better at organising than the right equivalents, whether that be libertarians, who are like herding cats, or the more nefarious fringes. Look at UK twitter, the corbynistas can get anything trending at a moment's notice, they're like worker bees or something. And we basically have rent-a-mob leftists who go to every protest all holding readymade signs. The most the far right can do is get a few England hooligans together now and then (not that I'm complaining)

You made a sneaky edit to bring up a Presidential candidate sign and a Vote Leave sign?
ffs(x2)...
It's like you're trying really, really hard not to understand.
 
I see Kelly Anne Conway is quitting next week, and the husband is pulling back from the Lincoln Project.
Assuming the claims about putting the family first (and they do seem plausible given the polarised positions), the only surprise is that it's taken this long.

It’s mainly down to their teenage daughter Claudia blowing up on Twitter mate I think. Both taking a backseat for her mental well-being.
