Actually, there is a guy who will be running Trump’s campaign in Ohio who ran Bush’s campaign in Ohio. Bush won, and I volunteered for Bush’s campaign. My cousin worked for it as well. I thought it was well run.
You’re right, though, that the reason these people are available are because they failed to beat Trump in the first place. Also, the media seems to quote a lot of Romney campaign people in various articles. The Romney campaign blew it.
One thing Trump has done in this election is out Ted all the frauds, fakes and traitors in the gop and it's a good thing. No more I wanna hear from people that this person and that person is a “True Conservative”. That term has been overused by the hucksters to get elected.
I worked that campaign. It was well organized.
