Trump's aversion to data puts RNC on the hot seat

The RNC says it is ready for the challenge, having spent millions of dollars after Mitt Romney’s 2012 defeat to build a data and digital infrastructure able to compete with Democrats.

“We’re building an operation that’s scalable and workable for all candidates,” said Katie Walsh, the RNC’s chief of staff…

Wilson said Trump’s approach “is going to hurt candidates for Senate in swing states: the Kelly Ayottes, the [Rob] Portmans, the [Ron] Johnsons.”

“I think it causes them to have to invest far more than they would have, because right now there won’t be a candidate at the top of the ticket turning out the important base votes.”
