LAS VEGAS -- Donald Trump has led the GOP field in every single poll taken in Nevada since he entered the race last June , often by as many as 20 percentage points. And after his resounding victory in South Carolina, the tinsel-haired mogul is the heavy favorite to win yet again when Nevada Republicans come out to caucus on Tuesday.
But as recent back-to-back visits to the neighboring Las Vegas headquarters of Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz made clear, neither campaign seems particularly concerned about Trump -- or any of the other Republican candidates -- in the final days of the Silver State contest. They're far more focused on each other.
That's because both camps believe that with Trump coasting on his celebrity, as usual, they can reshape the results and beat expectations on Caucus Night by quietly, methodically mastering the unglamorous work of getting out the vote. Their thinking is that in a state where the polling is particularly unreliable, the process is particularly chaotic, and the turnout is particularly low, the ground game could have bigger effect than anywhere else....

I’m hearing constant TV ads for Rubio, blasting Cruz and Trump and getting daily mail ads for Cruz blasting Rubio. Then there’s the pop-ups on my computer from each of them. They sure are spending a lot of money.
LOL....looks like Trump is the one not really worried about Rubio or CRuz....follow the money. Doesn’t sound like Trump is spending $$ to blast either of them, does it?
Nope, not a bit. :)
A race for #2
no one knows anything about Nevada. I don’t really know that Trump is the favorite here. Don’t know about his ground game. Not much has been said about it. Want him to win but I think things are being setup for Rubio to play big here. Who knows really
Trump is leading in NV by like 30 pts. He has been leading big time there all along. Cruz and Rubio are duking it out for second there. Cruz comes in third again and he’s in trouble or headed that way.
I hope they’re both wasting tens of millions of PAC dollars.
Again.

orrrr — Trump would know what RS knows:
I posted this day before yesterday:
Roger Stone, Trump op, said [yesterday, Fri Feb19, on Infowars.com ]
they will let Trump win SC but it is Nevada where they plan to try to short-circuit him.
OH BAD
And he said to tell all those in NEVADA and all their friends and relatives TO GET OUT AND VOTE .
[ Roger Stone interview 1st hour and some of 2nd ]
Not much polling compared to some states http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/nv/nevada_republican_presidential_caucus-5336.html
It’s a caucaus so I guess ground game matters. From what I’ve read (which could be utter lies but I just don’t know) Trump doesn’t have much of a ground game there. Only another day to find out. Like i said, if Trump can get high 30s to low 40s that would go a long way to crushing the narrative of the establishment before it really gets any steam
You know, if these PACs would spend money as if it were their own (like Trump does), they might get better results too.
They just piss it away on “secret army” stuff that doesn’t work.
Not much polling compared to some states
Why would that be ???? They don’t want us to know ???!
I’m not worried about NV. las Vegas is Trump’s playground he knows everybody that’s worth knowing out there. I think he will win big Tues night.
Two losers fighting it out like kids over who gets to second base.
Yawn.
Trump is hardly coasting, he’s got two big rallies scheduled for Monday, and another one on Tuesday, plus other campaign related activities in Nevada. With 2 big wins, he’ll carry NV quite handily, setting himself up in a good position to win most of the 14 Super Tuesday contests.
