Washington Examiner:

Even Donald Trump couldn't build a world-class skyscraper in a week's time.

 

That's the best way to understand the challenges the famous real estate mogul faces as he tries to build a data-driven voter turnout operation that can compete with Hillary Clinton.

 

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee only recently began hiring data experts and coordinating with the Republican National Committee's capable digital team.
