Trump picks Brad Parscale to manage 2020 re-election

President Donald Trump on Tuesday named political strategist Brad Parscale as manager of his 2020 presidential re-election campaign, rewarding a digital expert who was critical to Trump’s 2016 victory and who is trusted by the Trump family. 

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Tuesday named political strategist Brad Parscale as manager of his 2020 presidential re-election campaign, rewarding a digital expert who was critical to Trump's 2016 victory and who is trusted by the Trump family.

 

In a statement, the Trump campaign said it planned to use Parscale's talent to help Republicans in the 2018 congressional elections in November as they try to hold on to control of the U.S. Congress.

 

Trump, 71, had already signaled plans to run for re-election, filing a letter of intent with the Federal Election Commission on Jan. 20, 2017, the day he took office. He frequently relives his improbable 2016 victory in speeches and interviews.

 

Parscale, 42, based in San Antonio, Texas, was the Trump campaign's digital director in 2016 and had performed digital duties for Trump's businesses, the Trump Organization, before the campaign.

 

The campaign statement included supportive statements from Trump's son, Eric Trump, and son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner.

 

"Brad is an amazing talent and was pivotal to our success in 2016. He has our family's complete trust and is the perfect person to be at the helm of the campaign," said Eric Trump.

 

Republicans face challenges in trying to retain control of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. Typically, the party in control of the White House loses seats in the first election after a new president takes over.

 

In a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference last Friday, Trump urged conservative activists not to be complacent in 2018.

 

"We have to get out there and we have to fight in '18 like never before," he said.

Very tech-savvy guy. Without him (Giles-Parscale, with Jared running point for the Kremlin), and the Russians, Trump would not have lost the popular vote.

But he does have some "warts". I fear it must be a job requirement that a Trump campaign manager have criminal ties?

That just may have made him a Mueller target if not so already.

He might have had a good connection with Bannon's Cambridge Analytica group hired by Trump Campaign.

Cambridge Analytica provided metrics which Giles-Parscale utilized as the "secret sauce" for a successful targeted, cost-effective social media campaign which most attribute to helping Trump lose the popular vote.

 

Shortly after the election Parscale was quite open about what they had done. He quickly clammed up, and sold off his stake.

 

I think Mueller will get around to Parscale.

 

Data Firm Says ‘Secret Sauce’ Aided Trump; Many Scoff

 

Standing before political and business leaders in New York last fall, Alexander Nix promised a revolution.

 

Many companies compete in the market for political microtargeting, using huge data sets and sophisticated software to identify and persuade voters. But Mr. Nix’s little-known firm, Cambridge Analytica, claimed to have developed something unique: “psychographic” profiles that could predict the personality and hidden political leanings of every American adult.

 

“Of the two candidates left in the election, one of them is using these technologies,” Mr. Nix said, referring to Donald J. Trump.

Brad Parscale is also linked to the Russia investigation. Seems like yet another campaign manager with Russian ties. Mueller already has documents regarding Cambridge Analytica and possible Russian influence.
