Dana Milbank: Lewandowski’s campaign theme will be unbridled nastiness

Washington - Corey Lewandowski has been alternately vulgar, pugilistic and deceitful. Now he wants to run for Senate.

The one-time Trump 2016 campaign manager volunteered to appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, not to talk about presidential obstruction of justice -- he happily obeyed White House orders not to discuss such matters -- but to launch his bid for the Senate seat now held by the mild-mannered Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H..

Lewandowski, now a TV commentator and consultant who trades on his influence with President Trump, used the hashtag "Senate2020" in a prehearing tweet promoting his appearance.
