GOP money machine stumbles over fears of putting data in Trump’s hands by tomlobianco
WASHINGTON — The Republican Party’s efforts to build a small-dollar donation machine to keep up with the Democrats has hit a wall: a deep mistrust of President Trump and his campaign among Republican operatives.
"We are very optimistic about how things are rolling along in forming this joint venture,” said a Republican with direct knowledge of the project’s development. “Things are really coming together operationally, and we're very encouraged from the donor community — they understand this is something the party needs."
At the center of the problem is the very lifeblood of political operations — donor lists and voter data. Campaign consultants, many of them former staff for the party’s major political committees and veterans of presidential bids, sell their services to candidates based on their success — and their success is built on helping the candidates raise money and reach voters.
But that doesn’t guarantee the vast ecosphere of Republican operatives and campaign consultants outside the official party committees will adopt the new tool for their candidates. But the Republican political ecosphere is filled with large consulting firms who have built and maintained their own vaults of information about donors and voters. The consultants who raised concerns said they worried that they would have to provide access to those vaults to the Data Trust, thereby creating backdoor access to their information by Trump and his campaign.
