Donald Trump is quietly transforming his made-for-TV rallies across the US into a disruptive coalition of actual voters that could sustain his outsider run for the White House, an intimate review of his campaign infrastructure can reveal.
With off-the-cuff stump speeches broadcast as free advertising on cable news from high-school gymnasiums in primary states to major arenas in Alabama and Texas, the former reality-show star’s unlikely turn as Republican frontrunner for the presidency may seem like it is run out of a television green room.
But interviews with Trump campaign officials and volunteers, as well as political operatives and voters on the ground in early nominating states, piece together a kind of master plan in the works over the four months since Trump’s bombastic debut on the campaign trail – and show that he might have staying power over the next four months before primary voters head to the polls.
Trump’s growing team has identified more than 10,000 voters – many at his hot-ticket rallies giving away their personal data for a glimpse at a celebrity – who have committed to voting for him in February’s first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire, the Guardian has learned. His sprawling campaign apparatus already has more paid organizers on the ground in Iowa and New Hampshire than any of his 14 Republican rivals.
“It’s massive,” Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said of the tranche of information harvested from voters. “It helps build our database, share information, solicit help – to grow the electorate.”

Yeh,,he’ll be dropping out any day now, right? Can’t believe that “he isn’t in it to win it” drumbeat is still out there in some circles.
Go Trump!
Don’t know whether to use
YUUUUUUGE
or
GEEEEEEENIUS!
Regardless: do not underestimate The Donald !

<><> And this.....revolutionary Trump.
You mean like the Fox Dump on Trump club?
Pray America is waking
Thanks for posting this. It really sucks that a somewhat marginal, left leaning publication comes up with what’s one of the best, to date most thoughtful, evaluations of the Trump campaign.
Trump is paving the way....all across America.
Love this article...explains just how YUUUGE the Trump operation is (Hint: Ground game) in the primary states....and beyond!!
Which is why I don't see how he can lose.
Aaaaaaanndd...............
........we all have our secret decoder rings, as well!!
Bwaaaaahahahahahahahahah..............!
Be afraid!
Be VERY VERY afraid.
Fox really let their bias show. In every way possible they tried to trash Trump they could. Meghan Kelly is the perfect example of a sick attempt to trash Trump. She looked like the fool she is. Quit her show.
O'Rielly was just as bad. He tried hard to disrupt Trump but when he realized that Trump dumped Fox he backtracked. Too bad Trump did not continue the boycott of Fox longer and let that Roger Ailes sit in he warped juice.

I’m not a Trump supporter, but I have to say that from what little I’ve seen, his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, is one serious, impressive dude. He’s quite military in his demeanor and presentation.
I saw him in one interview and quite frankly, when it was over, I wanted to vote for HIM. lol...
Excellent. And true.
Glad to hear he is organized and has a master plan. Someone doesn’t get to be a multi-billionaire without those abilities.
He knows how to hire the right people to get the job done.
