Trump quietly builds a data juggernaut
Politico ^ | 01/05/16 07:53 PM | KENNETH P. VOGEL and DARREN SAMUELSOHN

Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who has significant experience in voter registration, declined to comment on the data program. “We don’t discuss internal procedures, however Mr. Trump has been underestimated through every step of this campaign, to many people’s demise,” said Lewandowski, who ran a pilot registration project for Americans for Prosperity in 2014. But the very existence of the Trump data program undermines the assumption that his campaign is uninterested in ― or unaware of ― the basic technological infrastructure needed to identify and mobilize voters. Such tools, used so effectively by Barack Obama during his two presidential campaigns, could be especially critical for Trump as he seeks to increase turnout among new or untraditional GOP voters.

Yep. Because withholding the GOPe super secret database that propelled Romney to the dust heap was to be the undoing of Mr Trump.

The Juggernaut has not been all that quiet.

As far as this specific topic, Romney and the RNC were horrible.

I assume Trump will be a whole lot better.

For all Romney’s business acument it was all financial.

Trump has had to do it all, on the ground as well as with the contracts and lawyers.

It’s pretty clear to me that Trump understands what sweat equity is all about. Not surprising for a real estate tycoon.

I can tell you this, I have been contacted personally by Trump’s National Political Director here in Colorado. As of 12/14 I’m not registered as a repub, so Trump is reaching out to the unaffiliated her in Colorado. Ya, he got game!

Yes, building a skyscraper is quite different than trading stocks (Warren Buffet) or developing software (Gates and Zuckerberg).

Many who attend Trump rallies are newbies. But if they can drag themselves to a Trump Rally in sub-zero weather in Iowa, and stand in line for hours, then wait another hour or two before Trump arrives, who knows!

There was a long wait in line for last nights Lowell,MA rally. A reporter asked one of the people how long he’d been waiting and the man replied, “eight years”.

Trump not only has data bases on everything efficiently working for him and in capable hands, but he also has private internal polling working only for him so that he knows exactly how he stands at any given time and in any state in the union. Everything is on his radar like you wouldn't believe.

Rest assured that Mr. Trump is leaving no turn unstoned.

Do you have to register as a Republican to vote in the primary?

Of course they won’t vote. They will travel hundreds of miles through freezing weather and wait in freezing weather to see Trump but will put no effort in voting.

Yah! Right.

I am addicted to watching his rallies on youtube or whatever TV station is broadcasting it. The interesting part is that Trump delivers every speech without teleprompters so it is never the same. And the crowd reactions, the ubiquitous disrupters, Trump needling the camera people...
