Not the crew, but the first mate. THAT is the person to runs around making sure everything is getting done and is reporting to the captain.

I already can hear the late night comedians punchlines tearing at the party for getting a Richard Spencer look a like to be our spokesperson. For the love of god change your hair style sir. I do not need more fuels to a fire we spend way too much time putting out thanks to other individuals that want to associate with the party. Hell, I should run for Chair just under the platform: hire a PR manager. This is politics, optics are 90% of the game. Stop making it worse.
