Trump overload at Cleveland museum dedicated to the Republican nominee

CLEVELAND: The “Trump Museum,” just steps from the Republican National Convention, displays artifacts such as the Trump action figure, the Trump board game and sartorial splendour from the Trump clothing line. So much Trump is on exhibit that at first glance it may appear to be a campaign office for Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee. But this is actually enemy territory, funded by a Democratic Super Pac called American Bridge. Inside are displays from a year’s worth of opposition research. American Bridge started looking into the Republican presidential hopefuls long before it was clear who would emerge as the winner. “One thing we learned about research is that you have to start early,” said Jessica Mackler, president of American Bridge. “We saw in the Republican field that a lack of preparation really hurt them against Trump. We wanted to make sure that didn’t happen in the general election campaign.” AGENCIES
