Former Obama Campaign Manager: Dem Nominee Is Going to Be ‘Broke and Tired’
President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign manager, David Plouffe, is working with Acronym, a progressive organization that plans to spend $75 million on digital advertising in key battleground states, The New York Times reported. It turns out the left is increasingly concerned about President Donald Trump’s lead in battleground states, which is why the group is focusing on Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
“The gun on this general election does not start when we have a nominee; it started months ago,” Plouffe told The Times. “If the things that need to happen don’t happen in these battleground states between now and May or June, our nominee will never have time to catch up.”
Acronym wants to raise as much money as possible so that the Democratic nominee is in a decent position to take Trump on in the general election. According to Plouffe, this is about the Democrats playing catch-up with Trump and the Republican National Committee.
“Our nominee is going to be broke, tired, have to pull together the party and turn around on a dime and run a completely different race for a completely different audience,” Plouffe said. “There is an enormous amount of danger between now and then. If the hole is too steep to dig out of, they’re not going to win.” (Read more from “Former Obama Campaign Manager: Dem Nominee Is Going to Be ‘Broke and Tired'” HERE)
