Donald Trump, who’s polling at the head of the 2016 Republican primary pack, has finally decided to hire a national political director.
The media mogul’s presidential campaign announced Thursday that it had hired Michael Glassner for the job.
“Michael is responsible for developing and implementing a national political plan and will oversee strategic planning operations nationwide on behalf of Donald J. Trump for President,” Trump’s campaign said in a statement.
In the 2008 cycle, Glassner served as a top aide to Sarah Palin on Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign. He’s also a former aide to former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole, and in the 2000 presidential campaign cycle he served on the Bush-Cheney campaign as an adviser in Iowa.
“I am proud and honored to have the opportunity to work with Donald J. Trump, the very definition of the American success story,” Glassner said in a statement. “Mr. Trump has set the standards of excellence in many areas, including real estate, sports, and entertainment — and now in American politics. As the newest member of the Trump national campaign team, I look forward to doing my part to Make America Great Again.”
A Quinnipiac poll released Thursday found Trump leading the GOP primary field, with 20 percent of likely Republican voters backing Trump, followed by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker with 13 percent and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 10 percent.
Palin and Trump have been exchanging kind words lately. Most recently, Trump said that he’d “love” to have the former Alaska governor in his Cabinet.
“She’s really somebody who knows what’s happening. She’s a special person. She’s really a special person. And I think people know that and she’s got a following that’s unbelievable,” Trump told the host of Mama Grizz Radio’s “The Palin Update.”
“I’m looking at some of these candidates, they’re weak, they’re ineffective and to a degree that’s almost hard to believe. And, you know, [voters] like the Sarah Palin kind of strength. You just don’t see very much of it anymore,” he said.
I didn’t think he really needed any help, but that’s just me.
McNutt will be going EVEN MORE bonkers that his normal.
(That’s close to what’s called “off the scale”.)
I hope she liked Michael Glassner.
I don’t remember him, do you?
In the 2008 cycle, Glassner served as a top aide to Sarah Palin on Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign.
Whoa, Donald you better keep your eye on this one.
We know that McCain’s people intentionally tried to damage Palin.
REALLY DUMB MOVE by Trump.
After all, us geniuses ON THIS SITE know that he’s only running to get HILLARY into the White House.
By this STUPID MOVE, people will not trust Trump when he endorses Hillary. Not smart.
(LOL)
No, but at least it’s not Nicole Wallace or Steve Schmidt. I would think that Don ran this guy past Sarah and her people before doing this.
You are who you surround yourself with.
Trump hires a Palin staffer. Walker hires Brad Dayspring, a vicious hatchet man.

Wasn’t this Sarah political director one on McClain’s people?
Ssshhhhhh! You’re going to get attacked by the followers of New Reagan.
Just Watch Walker try to reenact the dirty tricks and whisper Campaign that Romney ran against his Gop opposition and then folded against the Dems.
The Ivana Trump sorry a$$ smear was just a sample of what to expect from Scotty RNC Walker.
Scott Herbert WALKER Bush.
Lets not forget Walker brilliant hiring of Liz Mair a pro abortion pro gay marriage pro amnesty pr person who was then quickly axed when the news leaked out .
Or George Wills wife another recycled DC insider campaign loser
Or O’Driscoll another Romney bot who likes to wage a good smear campaign but only against conservatives.
Great team there Scotty !
You summed it nicely.
Thanks for reminding me about that woman he hired and was forced to fire.
To my knowledge, Dayspring is still employed. It does say a lot about
Walker,
Walker is no Reagan.
He got a post announcement bump in the polls that will soon begin to fade.
tell that to the Scott Walker ‘bots ... they’re in denial ...
Scott Walker apparently doesn’t mind accepting $$$ from the bastard who politically murdered Tea Party champion Chris McDaniels from Mississippi ...
I’m still pi$$ed about that.
