Whoa, Trump Just Upped The Ante – Hiring Firm Behind Brexit Victory
Trump just hired some badass people.
Cambridge Analytica is a marketing firm that specializes going after first-time voters and voters who feel left out of the process – which is the typical type who either supports Trump or should support Trump.
From The Wrap:
Donald Trump and his team have upped their game to win the race for the White House by hiring the company that got the Brexit message to millions, resulting in the split of Great Britain from the European Union.
Cambridge Analytica is a marketing film that targets voters (and potential donors) based on their unconscious psychological biases.
The strategic communications company also worked with former GOP candidates Ted Cruz, Ben Carson and the “Leave.EU” campaign in the United Kingdom. According to the Daily Beast, Cambridge Analytica “went after first-time voters and those who felt left out of the political process, the kinds of people that Trump was successful bringing to the polls in primary elections.”

The move toward a data-driven campaign — an idea that Trump labeled as “overrated” as recently as May — is another about-face for Trump’s campaign. It comes after Trump reversed himself by endorsing Speaker of the House Paul Ryan on Friday after hinting that he wouldn’t.
As of December 2015, Cambridge Analytica collected about 5,000 data points on over 220 million Americans that were originally used during Cruz’s campaign — which according to The Guardian coat $6.7 million.
The London-based company set up approximately ten data scientists within Giles-Parscale, the Texas-based firm that runs Trump’s website. The cost was about $1.6 million.

So all this time Trump has been saying that the problem with our country is that businesses keep outsourcing their business instead of keeping it in the U.S. Yet, now he has contracted with a London based company to provide multi-million dollar services.
I had such high hopes for Trump and what he claims he stands for and to make our country strong again. But he keeps doing the exact opposite of what he preaches and promises. I’m losing faith in him and don’t trust or believe in him as I used to.
True, and he still makes his ties in other foreign countries. But he does so because he needs to be competitive. He cannot afford to be the only one doing what’s best for America if he is the only one doing so. But he is willing to level the playing field and put a stop to outsourcing even though he probably stands to loose as much or more than others.
Jesus, give the guy a break and some time. Before he can help anyone he has to win the election. Maybe if you follow him close you can hear him burp and start a nasty rumor on that. Maybe he wants to hire the best. Keep trying I’m sure you’ll find something else you don’t like, only keep it to yourself.
I agree, Trump is doing what he figures he needs to do to keep the snakes from winning this race.. I’m Trump all the way.. he damn sure can’t do anymore harm than the last two decades of so called presidents!
i totally agree with you cookie, GIVE THE MAN a break. My God do you want Killary??? I don’t care what Donald Trump has to do to win this election. All’s fair in love and war. and this IS War People. Hillary is protected and we all know it. But not for long. Her days are over…. Once this article gets out and all over the internet, and more emails coming, she’s toast. I think that’s the last straw for a lot of people who were riding the fence.
As long as he’s not doing anything illegal…
I’m ok with it! We have had too much corruption!
It’s not like this company is available anywhere.
He’s reaching out for expertise, which he promises to do when he’s elected.
I don’t see anything wrong with it.
It’s obvious Mike and Victor aren’t on board. .
Thank God some people have some Common Sense!! Let’s try and be positive for his sake, I don’t care what he does to get in the Whitehouse!! Just get there for all our sakes!!
???
Maybe no one in the US does what this company does. Is it really that big a deal? I’d rather Trump use every tool at his disposal to win,
What a joke you are. You condemn someone because they don’t handicap themselves. How stupid do you think we are not to see right through your hypocrisy! Crooked Hil-LIAR-y and the propaganda news media! Pathetic! Weak! Cheap! Enough! #TrumpForPresident!
OMG this outsource with regard to Cambridge Analytica is ridiculous.
They employ people in Alexandria, VA and NYC and were setup to specifically focus on US elections since 2012,you can bet most staff are based there. It’s also heavily funded by… Robert Mercer who was the top (or in the top 3) donors of Cruz, and who now supports and is a Trump donor. C\A has worked on some high profile and successful campaigns even before this cycle, you can google it if you like to get educated on the matter. Not to mention there are only so many firms like this out there with a ready to go setup, a good familiarity with political targeting, and some sort of decent track record.
This is a good sign it shows his campaign is taking the G.O.T.V. and targeting ground game seriously for the fall.
A London based firm working thru a Texas company. The workers are in the US. A whole lot better than the Canada business Obama paid much more than this to setup a hideous software system for Obama care.
Whenever I outsource I look for English speaking countries.iIncluding the US and Canada Costs more. I consider it keeping it in the family. Higher grade of worker. Good for business. Pick on him if you will. Or recognize the strategy that’s brillant.
Trump’s policy is always the best person(or company) for the job. If he had to go elsewhere I don’t care, as long as they GET IT DONE. Once he’s in, Trump will bring our manufacturing and jobs back. If he said it, he’ll do it.
VOTE TRUMP-PENCE 2016!! AMERICA’S VOICE, AMERICA’S CHOICE!!!
If you look little closer you’ll.find that Trump is in it to win. He’s obviously hired this company because they are the best and for no other reason you are totally confused with the word outsourcing that’s with our factories and jobs that he will bring back to the USA .he needs to win first and he knows what to do to get there
He had to go outside the US to find a fair company. Can’t blame him for that!
So now the liberal globalist who loves diversity
Wants America to be an isolationist Nation.
Donald Trump said he will use the best “minds” in the world to make America great again. He’s already begun bringing them to America. Get used to it liberal trolls. And please do yourself a favor. Quit talking out of both sides of your face. Do you embrace diversity or not?
Who can you trust in the US at this time? It’s an Election Year! Fraud has already started!Trump made the right move! The fix is in for Hilary no matter what!
Until he is in Office he will have to make business decisions that are profitable for his Business. Once he is elected he will change that Tax code and bring Business back to the US. Any vote for Hilary is a vote for CORRUPTION!
Exactly my thought process.
Hillary has more help imaginable .. Jerry Brown CA just wrote new law so ILLEGALS can vote. Voting machines are usually recalibrated for Democrats, in Chicago anyway. And Cair is registering 1 million Muslims. So Trump needs a landslide or all of Hillary’s fraudulent voting kicks in.
There’s so much race baiting in this campaign. It’s garbage. Want everybody to know that ALL of my Arab contacts overseas SUPPORT TRUMP. YES, EVERY ARAB MAN & WOMAN I know supports Trump.
Arabs recognize more aggressive vetting for Americans iis necessary. Call it a “necessary evil” if you want. But Arabs know young jihadists strongly desire to set up sleeper cells in the United States. They know that once the attacks become prolonged & start hitting bigger targets successfully, the United States will strike back at the OVERSEAS nations where these jihadists come from.
Vigilante terrorist strikes here will inevitably escalate into military confrontation in the home country. That terrifies every wise & thinking Arab. Nobody wants that to happen.
Thus, to AVOID WAR IN THE FUTURE, it is NECESSARY to strengthen vetting of Arab immigrants today. It’s just smart and preventive policy. It protects Arab countries at home, as much as American citizens in the Homeland. It’s the world we live in today. It’s necessary to stop the violence from getting worse.
That’s why Arabs support Trump.
That, and the harsh fact that Hillary has already destroyed Libya & Syria, and she’s already promised to declare War on Iran & Lebanon. Idiot voters in America are the only ones who don’t know that.
For God’s sakes people, WAKE UP! A vote for Hillary is a vote for World War III.
He said all it takes is going through the vetting process and coming into this country legally. We all want that!
Absolutely and that DOES NOT make you racist. It makes you smart.
I totally support Trump. Hillary and the Democrats are nothing but liars and will do anything to win. He did a good move.
Whatever it takes, baby!
