Looking Back: The Master of the Deal
When George Holding took his final poll on the Wednesday before the election he led Renee Ellmers by almost 30 points. Then, three days later, on Saturday Donald Trump jumped into the primary with both feet – and endorsed Ellmers.
In a way Trump’s move was a surprise: Ellmers had initially supported John Kasich and, since switching sides, she’d done more to use Trump to help herself (by telling voters her support of Trump proved she was an Outsider) than she’d done to help Trump.
Donald Trump, they say, is an astute dealmaker but in this case it appears Renee Ellmers was the Master-of-the-Deal. She got Trump’s help to defeat Holding – while Trump gained nothing.
