preview

Data, Digital, TV, Political, Surrogates, Coalitions, etc. In a few days we start pressing FIRE for the first time.”Parscale said he didn’t come up with the name— the “media” did.“I didn’t give our campaign the name, Death Star, the media did,” Parscale wrote. “However, I am happy to use the analogy.
