 Trump hires the B team

Even the GOP nominee’s fellow Republicans say his state-level campaign staff can’t keep pace with Clinton’s hires.

By Katie Glueck

Donald Trump, already lagging behind Hillary Clinton in ground game organizing, is also facing a quantifiable talent gap in key battleground states, starting at the top.

And that’s according to his fellow Republicans.

Veteran Republican operatives and key leaders from several critical battleground states say that at best, they've never heard of Trump's state directors or have only limited familiarity with them — and at worst, they know them, and question their ability to do the job.

“The Clinton campaign is very strong in New Hampshire,” said Ryan Williams, who served as a longtime aide to 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney and has extensive experience working in New Hampshire. Of Trump’s New Hampshire state director, Matt Ciepielowski, he said, “I’ve been doing campaigns in New Hampshire since ’08, I haven’t come across him.”

Trump is going to win the election by owning the media through his pre-teen twitter campaign.

Interesting that so many experienced individuals will not work for him.  During the primaries he had a lot of trouble with inexperienced operatives that failed to do their job or quit - Colorado comes to mind.

You sound upset.  Not happy that....so far....we still have freedom of speech here?  That you, personally, cannot control what threads are created?

It reinforces the notion that Trump's team is incompetent.

"Necessary"?  I guess no thread is necessary.

However, this one is informative and speaks to DT's abilities and/or motivations.  Don't  you find it a bit curious?

This thread.....clearly outlines and illustrates yet another exaggeration (lie) of Trump's.  The lie that he would hire only the best advisors.  What BS.  Hell, he can't even hire competent campaign workers and we're expected to believe he would suddenly have an epiphany, as president, and would then hire competent folks?  Riiiight!

Well as I recall Trump said he would hire the best and brightest people should he be elected POTUS. If he makes that claim, then it is relevant and fair for the voters to have the opportunity to evaluate the quality of the people he is hiring to run his campaign.....

There is a news article, appears factual, about Trump's campaign.  If you think it's a dishonest, distorted, lying MSM portrayal of the campaign, please go about setting the record straight.  Whining about "another negative article," just demonstrates how utterly devoid of a factual defense the Trump supporters are.  But in all honesty, that's not your fault.

I've mentioned this on another thread but it is just as relevant here. Trump has NO Ground Game, and it is HE that is handing over the election to Hillary.

The Democrats have historically been better than Republicans with their "get out to vote" drives, hitting the women voters, minorities and  low income demographics as well who are less driven to leave their homes and vote in an election, even offering rides, cigarettes and phones. Democrats excel in the door belling. The Clinton's are experts at it.
But Trump?   His team has yet to leave the starting gate with TV ads, falling way way behind Hillary in TV ad spending, and the get out to vote campaign is non existent. They would rather rely on social media and flash  those pictures of event centers filled to capacity and say, "see how many people love Trump, how can he not win?"   Yet the 13 million who voted for him in the primary falls far short of the 65 million (minimum) needed to win the majority.
 He is in big trouble if he doesn't change game plans and do it now. Right-In-Virginia, that's why this thread. If you want to stick our head in the sand and  ignore the warning and not take this back to the trump campaign, that is your problem, not ours.

Do they not know how obvious they've become?  That if (if only) they had their way....they would summarily censor and edit any and every thread that didn't meet with their criteria of "acceptable"....just like at TOS.  That is, in all of it's glory.... facism (oh crap...I said the "F word".  Now I've done it!).
