You may be as new to politics as you are to the City Data forums, but that is exactly how you try to get your candidate elected via an effective ground game. Which Trump is losing, bigly, in Colorado. And his mother stated she is the official coordinator on paper but has given her son most of the responsibility. So unless you are assigning meaning to words beyond what is commonly understood, the kid is running this campaign office.

And sadly, just like I did in the first campaign I worked on when I was 13, he's going to be supporting a losing candidate.

It's why Trump will be crushed on Election Day. His groupies do not understand the importance of a strong ground game run by people with experience. And, for some unknown reason, Trump is unwilling to put one in place.

Democrats say one thing but their desperation and attacks say another.

Any truth to the rumor that this kid has enlisted Big Bird and Cookie Monster to help him GOTV?

Trump and his campaign are so farcical, it's almost impossible to make fun of it. It's like filming a parody of the Naked Gun films.

It's an attack to say Trump needs a strong ground game and a 12-year-old isn't capable of doing the job?

He is going to get creamed if his advisers believe that.

according to a 2014 survey, 27% of kids age 10-16 listed POTUS as one of their top career choices.

That's pretty neat. I didn't know that. Two of our friends kids have their eyes set on the 2020 Olympics, want to be scientists, teachers or engineers.
