Trump campaign abandons NJ office

http://www.politico.com/states/new-jersey/story/2016/08/trump-nj-headquarters-closed-not-long-after-it-opened-104651

After two messages left at the number of Trump’s New Jersey headquarters were not returned, POLITICO visited the nondescript suburban complex listed as its address.

That office no longer exists.

There were few signs the Trump campaign ever occupied the now-vacant office space — save for several peeled-off Trump campaign stickers visible through the front door.
Trump's latest FEC filing shows the campaign last made a rent payment on May 11 for the Edison property. The campaign vacated the office at least a month ago, according to two employees of the paper company located next door.

As for Christie, he might as well go jump off a bridge. 😉

Many books will be written. It could be an undergraduate course or a doctoral thesis at Harvard.

We're in the middle of another of Trump's ORCHESTRATED bankruptcies. He will walk away from the disaster he created, like he ALWAYS does in his filings, taking the free publicity he garnered with him. He thinks he can pivot all the bad publicity into a personal win for himself. He already told his staff to look at the BRIGHT SIDE of losing. Typical....all the hard work and belief in Trump. He used them and the GOP like a tissue. Just throw it away. He runs his businesses the same way. Has no scruples, morals or integrity. All for one and all for one.

and in the end.....this campaign will hurt him, not help...too many people will find out what he really is..

and that will not be good for business..but......

he might, just might..get a late nite show on some obscure cable network..called, "The Big Liar"

They won't even try, I love that. Trump's going to lose his home state and all the neighboring states. New York borders lots of states and Trump will lose them all!

I love how Hillary's making inroads into many republican led states that Trump is going to lose. Republicans everywhere need Trump firmly tied to their names so they can all lose together.

He doesn't need campaign offices.

He doesn't need to spend money on advertising.

He has hundreds of television, radio and print outlets talking about him 24/7.

He still draws thousands of people to rallies, even in "blue" states.

Don't count tRump out and don't take your foot off the gas till you see 270 EV votes for Hillary Clinton on the night of November 8th.

The Drumpf camp-pain pulled up stakes in my neighborhood in Jacksonville last week.

I wondered why they would have chosen that particular location to begin with: Riverside-Avondale is one of the most liberal -- and trendy -- parts of town.

According to the Fascist Times-Union, there's a sign on the door of the now vacant storefront: "OPPS! (sic) Expanding to a new location... New address coming soon."

However the co-chair of Drumpf's Florida organization was quoted saying that office wasn't really being used by his campaign, but may have been used by volunteers.

I wonder where the new address will be?
There's a nice landfill in the next county over to the west; lots of room for expansion there!
