Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) former campaign spokesman seems to have some doubts about Donald Trump's new campaign CEO. On Wednesday, shortly after Trump announced he was making Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen Bannon campaign CEO, Rick Tyler said on MSNBC's Morning Joe, "You probably hear from a lot of people who have worked with Bannon that he's not the easiest person to get along with. He has a very volatile temper."
Aside from being "a little controversial," Tyler also pointed out that Bannon isn't the most experienced. A former Goldman Sachs banker, Bannon has "never worked on a campaign," Tyler said. "We'll see if he's actually there to manage a campaign when he's never done one before," Tyler said. "We'll see."
Watch Tyler's take below, starting at the 1:30 mark. Becca Stanek
