But audio recordings provided by Borders to BuzzFeed News show Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski informing Borders of the campaign’s intent to hire him.

But they, you don’t usually see where they…and his [Biden’s] polling numbers were not great. And I’m actually happy about it because I’d actually rather run against Hillary.

Her record has been atrocious.” [Capital Download, USA Today, 10/22/15; VIDEO] According To PPP’s Tom Jensen, A Trump Employee Placed “Non-Stop Calls” Trying To Get PPP To Place Trump In Its Polls. “This time, the real estate on a polling questionnaire is precious — and reserved for serious contenders.
