Trump Wants Campaign Offices In All 50 States

Donald Trump’s campaign has asked the RNC to open offices in all 50 states, a move one party aide said is a “complete waste of resources,” Playbook reports.

“For example, why boost resources in a state like Idaho, which is going to vote for Trump, or states like Hawaii or Massachusetts that certainly will not? An RNC source said it was a ‘fool’s errand’ and more for Trump’s ‘ego’ and for ‘bragging’ purposes, instead of deft campaign strategy. The source said it was a ‘personal request’ by Trump to have offices in all 50 states.”

just like a real presidential candidate. That's what I think. Instead, he's closing his offices, as he did in New Jersey, leaving rent unpaid for months.

Trump is a fraud.

Or at least it seems like that from his obvious diminished mental capacity and inability to stay on topic for more than a few short moments.

This sounds like a strategic leak to let Republicans know that the man truly will not listen to reason ... gives the party ammunition in its fight to pull the plug on El Douchenozzle.

He practices "trickle down" economics wherever he goes. Now he wants the RNC to send money to the top so he can pee on everyone.
