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."

Now that Trump is the nominee, he and the party will need all the money and support they can get.
From the article you posted:
“On December 14, 2007, Republican Mike Huckabee announced he had hired Rollins as his national campaign chairman and senior advisor. Rollins was later overheard saying that he wanted to “knock out” Mitt Romney’s teeth”
Anybody that wants to punch Romney a good one is OK with me.
And as to his statement about Palin, he was Bachman’s political strategist at the time so I wouldn’t expect him to praise a potential rival.
Trump still will have no control over any PAC...correct?
Trump will continue to run his own Presidential campaign and the RNC/GOPe will either help fund him or not.
The RNC is on trial now much more than is Donald J. Trump.
And 2 days ago he was down on Trump as evil incarnate. No. Reject this wh**e. Now, with extreme prejudice, flat spot and bruise on ass from slamming the door.
Opportunist.
They’re all coming out of the woodwork now. Trump would do well to keep dancing with the girl he brung to the dance.
I hope Carly FailaRino stays away or maybe joins the Hillary campaign
Glad that he is now on board for the coming campaign.
“As of the end of March, it was almost $700,000 in debt, fundraising documents show.”

Trump fights his opposition hard until he wins and then he generally lets up and attacks his next opponent. He’s beaten the GOP so it really doesn’t make sense for him to fight Hillary and people that have basically given up that he will need to win the general.

-PJ
whoa....a way to spread a little walkin around money without getting the candidate in trouble ?
Some silver lining ;-)
Huh, I clicked on this thinking that Black Flag had endorsed Trump...
There are some strange theories flying around on this thread.
I’ve been watching Ed Rollins on Lou Dobbs and I think he’s a solid Trump supporter with wise observations. He’s called it right on predicting Trump wins and strategies.
I get him mixed up with Henry Rollins, the washed up, has-been singer for the punk group Black Flag.
Rollins needs to come with some sort of warning sign.
