Trump hires former top Palin aide as political director

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 2008 presidential campaign. He’s also a former aide to former Kansas senator Bob Dole, and in the 2000 presidential campaign cycle served the Bush/Cheney campaign as an adviser in Iowa.

Freepers grafting Sarah onto the Donald

The power of freeper fantasy political football is impressive

People here talk like they REALLY know their idols

It’s like those Teen Mags from the 60s and 70s aimed at young girls like oh you just knew Susan Dey really thinks David is dreamy too

Is there a link there

Ed Rollins is one very smart man. He is to old to be a player but he is one well worth listen to. Trump is smart to have Rollins in is camp.

Like Michelle Bachmann was? And Arianna Huffington’s husband was? He’s a big mouth. As soon as he’s out of the office he’s blabbing about something the candidate has said. We used to know this at FR. I can remember the groans when MB hired him. He only lasted two weeks which is about his usual rental time.

Oh, for God’s sake, he’s been dining out on that for what? 35 - 40 years? He’s a bitter old man with a vindictive streak and a very big mouth.

Well, you might be right, I remember him bad mouthing Sarah Palin when he was working for MB. I thought that was a very dumb thing to do. I think MB fired him shortly after that.
