Donald Trump’s team has hired veteran conservative organizer, David Bossie, to help build the campaign’s voter-turnout operation.
“A friend of mine for many years. Solid. Smart. Loves politics, knows how to win,” Trump told The Washington Post.
According to The Post,
Bossie participated Thursday in strategy sessions at Trump Tower where he was introduced to campaign aides and Trump associates, according to Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway.
Conway said Bossie would be assisting her with managing day-to-day operations and with strategic planning.
“He’s a battle-tested warrior and a brilliant strategist,” Conway said. “He’s a nuts-and-bolts tactician as well, who’s going to help us fully integrate our ground game and data operations, and help with overall strategy as my deputy.”
Bossie will also work on crafting attacks against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, mining past controversies involving her and former president Bill Clinton, and cultivating Trump’s bond with conservative activists.
Democrats were sharply critical of Bossie, who has been running Citizens United, a conservative advocacy group.
“This is the latest sign that Donald Trump has put the most extreme elements of the right-wing fringe in the driver’s seat of his campaign,” said the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s campaign, John Podesta. “He has devoted his career ever since to trying to tear down Hillary Clinton. For months now, Citizens United has been acting as an arm of the Trump campaign, and this hiring of Bossie now makes it official.”
Bossie has worked with Trump’s team in prior political campaigns. According to The Washington Post,
He is a friend of [campaign CEO Steve] Bannon and Conway whose political projects have often overlapped with his own. He is close to the secretive Mercer family, who have funded his organizations and been major backers of Trump’s candidacy.

It is amazing what you can do with minimal effort
I once stood on a thruway overpass with a giant size bedsheet sign at the exit to my home town, turnout was up 28% in my district- I like to think I helped
TURNOUT IS EVERYTHIHG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw a detailed analysis once. It showed that democrap turnout is fairly constant. So therefor if more Republicans show up, they win. Every Single Time.
That is why they spend so much effort trying to suppress vote turnout for republicans.
That's what I was wondering - does he have time to build a successful turn-out operation?
Hillary *is* a robot.
2013, blasts Boehner for standing in way of Benghazi investigation
Exactly, it’s probably causing the Dems to really shake right now. He’s a professional in political investigations. Just what Hillary needs more of right now, lol.
Bossie's a good guy. He worked with Dan Burton as his chief investigator when he was doing his investigations of Clinton fundraising and he's most recently been the force behind Citizen's United. They just won a case regarding the release of Hillary's emails. I like him. He fought hard against the Clinton's in the 90's.
That worries me too.
If they don't have one now they had better put one together fast!
“….right wing extremists!” snarled left-wing extremist, John Podesta. What gall from this criminal.
Perhaps that is one reason Trump hired Bossie. Bossie investigated campaign fraud with Bill Clinton.
““This is the latest sign that Donald Trump has put the most extreme elements of the right-wing fringe in the driver’s seat of his campaign,” said the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s campaign, John Podesta.”

Fixed it.
But she short circuits. :-)
You’re right in your analysis. I’d add a ground game and GOTV strategy is only as successful as a candidates volunteers make it. One of Trump’s major assets are his supporters. 14 million primary voters. About 1.1 million in Florida. 900000 in Pennsylvania, 700000 in Ohio. Hopefully by next weekend all Trump’s campaign offices are overflowing with folks who want to make calls and knock on doors.
Secretive?
If anyone is "secretive" it is George Soros. He's like the original James Bond villain.
come on we know that Ian Fleming was thinking of George Soros in his movies.
That sounds like good news. I wonder how he will do with things like this...
