Seasoned Republican operative Ed Rollins is making his debut in Donald Trump's presidential bid.
Rollins, who was Ronald Reagan's 1984 campaign manager, spoke on a conference call Wednesday with supporters of Great America, a super PAC that backs Trump. Rollins has signed on as a strategist for the group.
Rollins says the super PAC aims to help offset what he sees as a huge financial advantage for likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. "They're licking their chops," Rollins says of Clinton's team. "They think they're going to win this thing."
Great America will likely conduct polls, collect opposition research and run television ads in the lead-up to Election Day, Rollins says. First, though, the group must raise money: As of the end of March, it was almost $700,000 in debt, fundraising documents show.
Ben Carson, a prominent Trump ally, also spoke on the call - a signal that the billionaire businessman is more accepting of outside help from groups that during the primary contest he had called "corrupt."

It’s a trap.
Not good. He never lasts and he tells all the secrets. Plus, he hasn’t won anything since the 70s.
Ping
The way I read the short article was that he was joining the Great America PAC, not the campaign.
1984 was thirty-one years ago.
Trump doesn’t need a PAC.
But the party does.
Sigh...what happens when you only read the headline. Typical freeper move!
Not everyone lining up to hump Trumps leg is friendly. These idiots don’t understand Trump runs a real tight family business empire. They know who to trust outside the circle and how to keep outsiders on short leashes.
Roger Stone just called it a total fraud.
Heheh. I do it all the time.;-)
Rollins is an untouchable.
Trump would do well to keep him at a distance.
We’re entitled to do it!
I’m a regular viewer of Lou Dobbs program. Rollins has been on a couple of times a week for the last several months and has been pretty spot on in his analysis of the race and has been generally positive towards Trump.
Lou Dobbs has been pro Trump from the get go.
Thanks for that.
Didn’t Trump threaten to sue the PAC for using his image?
Yes Lou & Ed are a refreshing offset for much of the silliness in the media. They also really care about America!
Rollins is nothing but bad news. If I were DT I wouldn’t allow him to put his name on anything associated with the campaign, PAC or otherwise.
