Donald Trump, Trying to Show Staying Power, Hires State Aides

Donald J. Trump’s advisers have hired new aides in Virginia, Texas and Florida, three states beyond where the early votes are cast, as they try to demonstrate that the real estate mogul will remain in the race for the duration.

Karen Giorno will be the campaign’s state director in Florida, while Corbin Casteel will play that role in Texas. Mike Rubino will be the state director in Virginia.

“We are in this to win it,” Mr. Trump said in a statement. “These staff additions are the continuation of our plan to have a strategic and significant presence across the country.”

Ms. Giorno previously worked for Gov. Rick Scott of Florida, according to Mr. Trump’s aides. Mr. Casteel was also described as having “vast experience” in corporation communications and political strategy, and worked with the Republican National Committee. Mr. Rubino was said to have worked with Representative David Brat, a Republican from Virginia who defeated Eric Cantor, then the House majority leader, in a June 2014 primary upset.

Exactly. I hope the cognitive dissonance of the “elites” keeps this up all the way to President Trump’s inauguration.

” Mr. Rubino was said to have worked with Representative David Brat,”

sounds good if true

I don’t count my chicks before they’re hatched, but at this point they are delusional in dismissing Trump.

There's that sneer-by shooting by an info-babe: "trying."

In case you're not familiar with the process, typically when an enterprise is doing well and able to pay its bills because it has support, it hires more people—as Trump is doing.

On the other hand, when it has no market appeal and is hemorrhaging readers and money, like, say, The New York Times, it cuts jobs—hundreds of them, thousands of them. As The New York Times has been doing for decades. Because it's about as valuable as a dead cat. Do you see how that works? Reality can be trying (heh), I know.
