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 stars 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 Trumps 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.
Trumps 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 Februarys first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire, the Guardian has learned.

Not only that, but Trump also organized and paid for the gala opening of the Wollman rink.
Huge publicity with a big gold star for Trump and a big sack of ashes and humiliation for NYC chief janitor/mayor Dinkins.
More on the NYC Central Park Wollman Rink renovation by Donald Trump in 1986.
excerpt:
FOLLOWING the grand opening of the Wollman Rink this week, New Yorkers can now set their sights on the gala grand opening of the Wollman Rink next week.
Donald J. Trump refurbished the Central Park -skating rink two and a half months ahead of his own speedy six-month schedule and $750,000 below his own projected $3 million budget, having taken over the project after the city spent six years and $12 million unsuccessfully trying to get the job done.
‘’He built the most fabulous rink I have ever seen,’’ said Vera Banchet, watching her daughter skate. ‘’I saw Trump on TV again last night. If I may say so, he is not one to hide his light under a bushel.’’....
Read the rest of the article to understand that Donald Trump’s current behavior is nothing new. He’s a pro at this, better than before because of his media performances which came after the Wollman Rink renovation.
His zingers at the Dinkins administration and the ineffectual Parks Department are jewels.
I remember this like it was yesterday. He was always attacking Dinkie - especially in the wake of the Central Park rape. Boy, did that send him into overdrive. You know, the guy who hates women...not.
/FR troll/fool
Smiling!
Thank you so much!
The Donald is the same guy he was almost thirty years ago, only more experienced.

Sign up for Trump.....TTTT
This video isn’t entirely complimentary, I see. There are some hidden barbs.
He is off a bit when he sees Trump as having a learned technique versus a naturally evolved personality. There’s nothing phony in Trump’s manner. It’s not a technique. It’s just him.
