Just hours before the critical primary in Wisconsin, reports are surfacing that paint Donald Trump’s campaign is laying off staff and running out of steam.
Politico reported:
Donald Trump’s campaign is increasingly falling into disarray as the Manhattan billionaire braces for a loss in Wisconsin that could set him on course for an uncertain convention floor fight for the Republican presidential nomination.
Since March, the campaign has been laying off field staff en masse around the country and has dismantled much of what existed of its organizations in general-election battlegrounds, including Florida and Ohio.
Last month, the campaign laid off the leader of its data team, Matt Braynard, who did not train a successor. It elevated his No. 2, a data engineer with little prior high-level political strategy experience, and also shifted some of his team’s duties to a 2015 college graduate whose last job was an internship with the consumer products company Colgate-Palmolive. Some of the campaign’s data remains inaccessible.
It is a mystery why Trump would be laying off campaign staff in states that would be critical to a general election campaign, but a recent New York Magazine profile of the Trump campaign suggested an operation that was bare bones and more concerned about cost than doing what is necessary to win.
Trump is proud of the fact that he has been able run his campaign on the cheap thanks to nearly $2 billion worth of free media, but that media attention has been a double-edged sword. Media outlets have begun to question Trump like a potential president, and the candidate has wilted under the harsher spotlight.
There is growing speculation that Ted Cruz could win big in Wisconsin. There is even talk that Sen. Cruz may sweep the state and win all of the available delegates. The Trump bubble could be set to burst. A brokered Republican convention has never looked more likely.
Donald Trump beat the Republican Party by waging war through the media, but without the television cameras, Trump may be facing a delegate fight that he can’t win.
