The 2016 presidential race could easily be decided in Colorado’s Jefferson County. Yet that does not appear to have discouraged Donald Trump’s campaign entrusting its outreach in the critical county to a 12-year-old. Weston Imer, co-chair of Republican nominee’s campaign in Jefferson County, dismissed the suggestion that his age should be an impediment. Fearing a distraction, the Trump campaign has since put a halt on interviews with its youngest political operative, who has not spoken publicly since. “We need Trump supporters to come out, and be out of the closet, and tell everyone that you support Mr Trump.”That’s not always easy.
