Turning Point wants to revolutionize how Republicans turn out voters. Some are skeptical

Turning Point has long been known for hosting glitzy events, cultivating hard-right influencers and raising prodigious amounts of money.

The conservative group has leveraged its ties to Trump to expand its influence in a way that could be potentially lucrative.

The decision by Trump to rely on untested groups such as Turning Point could have sweeping implications for November ’s election.

The group's strategy isn’t complicated: Its operatives believe there is a well of untapped conservative voters who have not backed Trump in recent elections.

The strategy appears to mostly ignore independents — or less hardened Republicans — because Turning Point’s brand of hard-right politics is less likely to appeal to them.

Experts in voting patterns are doubtful Turning Point's efforts to mobilize infrequent Trump -inclined voters will do much to affect the election.

The app is seen by Republican strategists as the latest example of Turning Point becoming more focused on using data as a way to strengthen its Republican role in the future.

Those strategists are concerned that Turning Point is not playing by established traditions of sharing data within the Republican ecosystem.

Turning Point's spokesman denied the charge, saying the group was not seeking to take over the GOP .
