Trump is serious and really knows how to put a team together.

Lewandowski said that Glassner "is going to work to ensure that Mr. Trump has the best grassroots network in the country."

Trump has nabbed top political strategists in Iowa and South Carolina who had a role in pulling off major political upsets in those states during the 2012 Republican cycle.

Veteran strategist Chuck Laudner is spearheading the efforts in Iowa, managing a team of about 10 full-time staffers.

Laudner's claim to fame was being one of the chief architects of Rick Santorum's stunning Iowa caucus political victory in 2012, which propelled him forward to an overall second-place finish in the delegate count behind Mitt Romney.

"We're going to run the best ground game in the country out there," Lewandowski said. "Chuck is the best political operative in the state of Iowa."

In South Carolina, Trump has a team of about seven full-time staffers working to make inroads in the state. He's nabbed Ed McMullen, the state's GOP co-chairman, and Gerri McDaniel, who worked on Gov. Nikki Haley's (R) gubernatorial campaign and Newt Gingrich's 2012 presidential campaign.

Gingrich, a former Speaker of the House, won the South Carolina primary in 2012.

In New Hampshire, Matt Ciepielowski is leading up a team of about five full-time Trump staffers, and Lewandowski said they're "quickly assembling a top team." Ciepielowski is a former AFP field director for the Granite State.

The Trumpster should bring Gingrich on board. They've both fighters.
