Clinton building tech edge on Trump

[DonViejo]

Hillary Clinton's campaign expects to have a significant technologic advantage over Donald Trump in targeting voters and luring them to the polls.

It’s an edge the Clinton campaign hopes it can use to find and then win over centrists and Republican voters as the Democratic nominee looks to build an edge on Trump. Top Democrats familiar with Clinton’s campaign say her sophisticated voter mining operation will build upon President Obama operation.“It’s the nerve center of the campaign,” said one Democrat with knowledge of the operation. “And a key source in decision making.”

Another former top Obama aide took it a step further, adding that the Clinton’s analytics team “will be the reason Clinton wins in November. There’s nothing like it out there.”

Four years ago, the Obama operation nearly perfected a system of identifying Democratic voters on a district-by-district level. Put simply, the Obama operation knew where the Democratic voters were in every city and town, and knew how many it needed to deliver to get Obama over the top in swing states such as Virginia, Ohio and Florida.

1. And we all know how trump doesn't believe in data and technology...

2. I don't think that's the point.

The last couple of elections, the Democrats have crushed the Repubs in the ground game. So for Drumpf, it remains to be seen A) if their party "gets it" yet, and B) whether there will be enough party machinery willing to work hard for him.

3. I hope it is better protected than the DNC emails
