“I think what may surprise people is not that we’re mass communicating and that we’re having success,” Laudner told NBC News. “Honest to God, I think what shocks them is that we’re having so damn much fun doing it. We don’t have bad days.”
NBC News profiled Laudner and his plan for Trump to win over Hawkeye state voters. Laudner is a veteran in GOP politics – having helped Sen. Rick Santorum win Iowa in 2012, served as Iowa’s state Republican Party executive director, was Chief of Staff for Rep. Steve King (R-IA) 79% , and the state director for Steve Forbes in 2000, who ended up finishing second.
“They are doing everything right. I have no doubt that their numbers are there. If they stay solid, they could turn out 23 to 26 percent of the vote — enough to win,” a longtime Republican operative in Iowa said to NBC News.
“[Chuck Laudner] knows how to build a database. He knows how to organize grassroots. And he talks their language,” the source told NBC News. “He is a deity among conservative grassroots.”
Trump’s campaign team in Iowa has 12 paid employees – the largest out of any GOP campaign in Iowa.
According to NBC News, Lauder is working on identifying how many voters the team will target to caucus for Trump in order for the billionaire businessman to walk away with a win. With 1,682 counties in Iowa, Laudner explains, “Let’s say we need 40 votes in whatever precinct—[the designated Trump precinct captain] will say, ‘Here’s the 40 people who are going to vote for Trump.'”

A little more info about Trump’s ground game in Iowa...ping.
I am fervently hoping that Trump’s performance in Iowa and New Hampshire trounces Jeb Bush and pushes him into the ignominy of irrelevance to the point his PACs see the writing on the wall and desert him. This is job one, IMO.
Morning Joe and his guests, which included Mean Howard Dean, all agreed that Mr. Donald Trump is starting to unstoppable. None were mad about it either. Mika, Willie and Joe seemed quite pleased.
If you aren’t having fun, you are doing it wrong.
The ground game sounds a lot like making advances down the field in a football match.
It is easier when you have the stronger and more motivated team.
Eugene Robinson, WA Post columnist, (is that his first name?) was also pleased!
I’m knocking on wood here....but do we think people are finally seeing the writing on the wall? (knock, knock)
I can’t wait for the Trump family to be in the White House and have President Trump sitting behind the Desk in the Oval Office!!!
Picture it...picture it...yep, it’s real!!!
GO TRUMP GO!!!
Mika has a crush on Donald
It that a sign that he is pulling us together.
America will be the greatest when we are one United States —under God, indivisible !!!!
Why are all these liberal media people pleased that Trump is about to become unstoppable? Is it because, they think, that he will be the one to most easily to defeat in the General Election?
LOL.
You could be right.
But we all know that if Trump doesn't win Iowa, the media will sensationalize it as a major defeat and comeuppance. So I hope Trump has all the stops pulled out here and wins big.
[America will be the greatest when we are one United States —under God, indivisible !!!!]
When GOD is put on top of everything, America will be the greater.
GOD bless AMERICA. AMERICA bless GOD.
Pray for Trump to give GOD the glory for his success.
RIGHT.
If the rabid, hateful, libtard, commies, don’t like it, they can finally make good on their threats to leave our country!
Let’s face it folks. Winning in life is a lot more FUN than being a loser. Of course Trump is having fun......duh : )
No, I think the Morning Joe liberals hate Hillary and actually LIKE Donald Trump.
You’re precisely right!
Possibly.
However, it could be they are drooling at the ratings bonanza that Trump will create for them (likely).
It could be that Trump has thrown money at them (not likely).
It could be that they just genuinely like him (likely).
There are a whole bunch of other possibilities, so we can all think outside the box on this one.
If everyone in the leftwing media like Trump, then there is something they know that we don’t.
Scary.
