Trump makes a big move in the Granite State [by hiring JEB Bush Field Director]

Donald Trump has tapped an operative to lead his 2024 efforts in New Hampshire. And for the role, he’s turned to a veteran of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s 2016 presidential bid.

Trevor Naglieri will serve as Trump’s New Hampshire state director, according to two GOP operatives familiar with the move.

Naglieri was a field coordinator for Bush in 2016 and went on to serve as New Hampshire field director and then national field director for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). He most recently managed Pennsylvania Republican Jeremy Shaffer’s unsuccessful 2022 congressional bid. He also did stints at Republican consulting firm Axiom Strategies.

And to think that DeSantis was getting slammed around here for supposedly talking to Bush people...when Trump is hiring them himself.

Yeah, let’s not forget that in 2020, Trump hired KARL ROVE to be a top campaign advisor.

(Has Karl Rove ever won a race?)

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Likely the most experienced person on the R side.

Better to lock him up before Rove hires him - even if he doesn’t use him.

Strategery!

[RoosterRedux]

It depends on which Bush people who talk to and hire, doesn't it?

Let's hope Trump has a better lay of the land this time around.

And BTW, isn't Jeb a DeSantis supporter?

[Boogieman]

I care less about hiring Bush people than I do about adopting Bush positions and policies.

]I don’t know what Ron and Zelensky would do without your support.

Trump demonstrates that he still does not know how to select personnel. This is not “The Apprentice” and you will not be handed a script.

Who is going to keep Jeb awake?

[Wallace T.]

Naglieri is a hired gun in a state where moderate Republicans have often won Presidential primaries. He is not a Cabinet or agency appointee.

[Zathras]

I actually think Jeb wants DeSantis out of the way so he can run for Gov again.

[RoosterRedux]

Interesting. I’ll tuck that point away for later. Thx.

[Boogieman]

Yes, I understand that.

[mac_truck]

So what happened to Corey Lewandowski...did he go to the dark side?

“(Has Karl Rove ever won a race?)”

Is this the same Karl Rove whom most of us said was a “Magnificent B@st@rd) back in 2001?

[rdl6989]

Sad but true.

[dangus]

I do seem to remember a rather cultish attitude towards him, until around 2006, when he was seen as the motivation for Bush pushing so hard for Amnesty while the Republican Party began to collapse because it was so incredibly unpopular.

[DMD13]

I don’t get it, why would Trump hire these people? To me, it shows he has learned nothing.

Ok, always Trumper. You always have excuses.
