His longest gig was with Schwartz, a PR firm. He's a comer.
The point here is that the Trump campaign is managed so as to be easily coordinated with the network of Koch "Tea Party" and "Libertarian" organizations. This cooperation extends beyond what you see with the Rand Paul campaign. It is a close match with Scott Walker in Wisconsin.
You had been told that Trump is an Independent?
That Trump's money puts him outside the boundaries that define existing political interest groups?
Possibly these two ideas are accurate.
Maybe not. Based on seeing a careerist from the Koch organization running the Trump campaign, I'll lay my bets on the "Not."
