Trump's campaign is not serious

12-year-old running Trump campaign office in Colorado

Donald Trump's campaign has some young blood among its leadership.

And by young, that means 12 years old.

In one of the most important counties in swing state Colorado, Donald Trump is relying on 12-year-old Weston Imer, who runs the Jefferson County operation for the Trump campaign.

Jefferson County is one of the most populous counties in Colorado and is part of the Denver metro area.

Imer is in charge of the operation where volunteers will gather and help get out the vote, and while sitting behind a desk may not be the coolest thing to do, he hopes to use the position to inspire others.

spokesman on cnn last night. He said that to him ALL signs point to Trump running in alliance with Ailes and Breitbart to capture all the crazies for some kind of new media venture. He is not even trying to speak to the vast moderate/left to expand his voter base.

Apparently, that campaign didn't get the message that middle schoolers can't votee.

Jim Margolis, who has the best win loss ratio in American politics, started doing campaign work in middle school. He was a paid field director on a congressional campaign at 15. Like Hillary's ads? GMMB, his firm. So don't be too quick to scoff at this kid.
