Trump’s hire of Glassner grabbed headlines — especially since Glassner’s old boss was Sarah Palin. Glassner acted as the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidates’s top adviser, and helped her become a national voice for the Tea Party even after the defeat of her ticket. It’s worth noting that Palin came to Trump's defense after he found himself in political hot water for comments he made about Sen.<a class="thought-link" href="brain://NpzJY9Sa7E-zkhyeWHjArQ/JohnMcCain">John McCain</a>'s (R-Ariz.) military service. Glassner also worked in Bush-world, advising George W. Bush's 2000 campaign. A political veteran, Glassner has worked on campaigns for more than 30 years. He worked on two presidential campaigns with Sen. Bob Dole (R-Kan.) — to whom he served as a senior adviser in the Senate — in both 1988 and 1996.
