Trump's running his campaign like he runs his construction projects... under cost and ahead of time...
Heading to a packed house in Waterloo, Iowa! Will celebrate today’s
great poll numbers together. See you soon!— Donald J. Trump

The above is pure Genius!
The king of leverage.
His advisers are working to assure that Trump will qualify for the ballot in all 50 states and the U.S. territories — an arduous and time-consuming task that has caused some first-time candidates to stumble. Lewandowski said the campaign has hired a company that will work only for Trump to meet the state-by-state requirements. Among the most difficult is Virginia, but Lewandowski said Trump will be qualified there by the end of this month.
“I’ll be happy to be the underestimated campaign,” Lewandowski said. “If I don’t get Mr. Trump on the ballot, which is the nuts-and-bolts part of my job, I should be fired immediately.”
Trump’s campaign headquarters is on the fifth floor of Trump Tower here, in an industrial space that previously had been a construction area and hangout for the crew of NBC’s “The Apprentice.”
The main room is a showcase for Trump’s penchant for boastful teasing: a “wall of shame” features downcast photos of the two candidates who have dropped out, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Texas governor Rick Perry. It also highlights his proclaimed frugality, as aides work at plastic picnic tables and sit on folding chairs.
Relative to the bustling Brooklyn headquarters of Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, with hundreds of staffers on the payroll, Trump’s Manhattan command center is barren. Lewandowski said there are about a dozen aides at the location, including political director Michael Glassner and spokeswoman Hope Hicks.
Trump has between seven and 12 paid staffers in each of the first three states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, and he is hiring in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and other states. Lewandowski said Trump enjoys a “massive grass-roots network,” allowing volunteers to feed local intelligence on rival campaigns to New York.
Asked if he had discussed an exit plan with Trump should the candidate slip in the polls, Lewandowski said he had not: “We’re going to the convention — that’s it. One delegate or 2,000 and change, we’re going to the convention, and there’s nobody who can get him out of the race.”
Not QUITE, but it’s seen the least loss of one in a long long time.
Kind of like a Tom Sawyer fence whitewashing thing (alluding to the story not to any alleged political move). Get people to want to do it and you now get it cheap or free.
Is there going to be a live link for Waterloo ?
Bottled water to Waterloo
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.
Trump was awake and paying attention to Obama’s 2008 campaign. Unlike the GOP apparently.
Poll: Trump leads swing states of Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania
....“Those who were waiting for Donald Trump’s campaign to collapse will need to wait longer, at least in the three key states of Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania,” said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.....
Wow!!!
Impressive!
Thanks for posting ;-)
Trump’s got game....YUUUUGE game :)
I am glad to see Trump doing this his way.
I think the cost of political campaigns has simply become like the fed gov’t. A whole lot of money being thrown around, going to a limited number of insiders who get rich, while doing nothing to achieve any of the stated objectives, and then claiming that only by giving them increasingly large amounts of money will the results happen.
“I would rather have a person like this in charge of our take payer funds...”
Actually, Congress holds the purse strings, not the POTUS. But I understand and agree with your point.
Needs a thread. I’m on cell today
Who will post ?
Every few election cycles someone or something happens that doesn’t follow the expected routine.
Trump just may be that someone/something that is happening this cycle. We’ll see as over 1200
bound delegates will be chosen starting in less than 4 months and ending in the 5th month hence.
“Saw a fool who had been a manager or something for Romney...”
You are correct, the people who run campaigns are generally fools which is why Trump is mopping the floor with them.
Love it!!!
If there were, he would only talk to the people responsible once, I can guarantee that for sure....
From video above :
“If instead of planning this stop and the next stop, next stop, next stop, next stop we do one big event. We coral all these people, we find out caucus captains, we make that one big gigantic organization and we got the rest of these days to follow up on those,” said Chuck Laudner, Trump Campaign State Director.
sounds smart, thanks.
After adding many articles to the trump vetting threads the one thing that has hit me is his instictive ability to manage Just keep picturing him at the head of the board table ..... With the cabinet members. He would be AWESOME. There is a cool video in which Ivanka explains how he solves problems in those meetings. Lots of fun lots of listening, lots of input from experts It’s a real eye opener. Unfortunately it’s not saved separately but in a bigger folder and I’ve not found it again
