WOW. GO TRUMP.
Have you already voted?
Before I sign off for tonight, I want to recognize 2 individuals this election season.
1). Senator Bob Dole. When other REP “elders” and politicians skipped the Republican Convention, Senator Dole with his failing health was there. Character matters.
2). Vice-President Joe Biden. Yes ole Joe. When asked what he would do if Trump won, he said “extend a hand”.
See ya all tomorrow for the big day.
A ground game means passing out Trump Campaign Badges ($20 bills) and bussing people to the polls.
Joe Kennedy did that in Illinois to get his kid elected.
“I saw precisely no Hillary Clinton-Tim Kaine signs; even Gary Johnson signs outnumbered Clinton’s.”
Hahahahaha. It would only take one Gary Johnson sign to out number as Hillary sign.
I drive through Chester every day on the way to work. I only saw my first Hillary sign last week — before then I had no idea what they even looked like. And the sign was on public property (just before the on-ramp to I-95). I see a lot of signs for local Dem candidates, but NO Hillary signs.
People keep making the argument that Trump’s large crowd sizes don’t mean anything, because Romney drew huge crowds too, and Obama’s rallies weren’t that big.
The flaw of this argument is that Obama drew huge crowds when he first ran for POTUS in ‘08. In ‘12, he was the incumbent.
I don’t ever remember incumbents crisscrossing the country and holding lots of campaign rallies. They are busy acting Presidential, and hoping that the electorate will reward them with another term, based on satisfaction with their first term.
For incumbents, it’s all about their convention speech, the debates, and first term job performance. Campaign rallies aren’t such a big deal for them.
This is not the case with Hillary. A majority of Americans believed Hillary would be our next POTUS at the beginning of the ‘08 primary season, based on nothing more than the media trying to push her as “inevitable”. Obama stole her thunder, because there was never any enthusiasm for her outside of the media. And there’s even less enthusiasm for her this time around.
She’s not an incumbent. If she can’t draw crowds at this juncture in her political career, then it means there’s just no enthusiasm for her, period.
If these numbers are accurate - (heavy black population?) - it’s unlikely to be an outliar at such a ‘blow out’ -
Good omen? If states they haven’t been concentrating on do this, they’ll be hesitant to flip the ‘rig’ switch as it would be far too obvious?
(I’d like to see the witch perp walked - along with the whole kit and caboodle - but if not - it will make me smile thinking of her spending the rest of days with the fact that she will NEVER be president - or any other gov’t job - after all the plotting, killing, corruption of 30 years, clawing her way to get to the top

The RNC’s ground game is Trump’s ground game and they have been at it in Florida since right after the primaries. Another MSM lie and they have been repeating it since the primaries were over and still to this day I hear it on MSM.
Maybe it’s best this way...the shock on their faces will be well worth it.
It’s great that this is coming from a guy who the Daily Caller characterized as an ‘ultra-liberal former union bully’.
Florida is covered with trump signs on highways and major roads as of this morning. They definitly have organization. I drove across the Tampa and Sarasota area today and there is a concerted effort to plaster the area with signage. Even in places I have not seen in the past.
Probably a combo of Trump, the state party and rnc.
My experience was exactly the same driving through Oregon. Didn’t see a single Clinton sign. Ann Coulter said on Hannity that Oregon may surprise. That would be a nice RED cherry on top.
“Folks, we have to Believe!”
Believing is not very important. Walking precincts and making phone calls is VERY important. Donating money is too.
Ride into battle tommorow with this playing in your head: .
In my little TN county, the republicans sold the signs for $5.00 each. I saw signs in many yards. One Hillary sign in a yard and a few on the side of the road. The fact that people here are buying and displaying Trump signs is telling.
I heard— was it Dana Perino of all people—say that the RNC has been doing much more GOTV than people seem to think. She said they thought they lost in 2012 because of GOTV and fixed a lot of things. As to voter passion, my daughter is driving all the way home from college to vote in her first election for Trump. She has a few Hillary friends (yuck) but they aren’t going home and didn’t get absentee. Her friend at school that lives in our town wanted a ride home to vote and my daughter told her she had to leave early. Because as my daughter told me, “I’m not giving her a free ride home so she can vote for a Clinton. She can find her own way.â—Which she won’t. My daughter is in the College Republican club and they all voted Trump absentee, except my daughter who is coming home. They all filled out their ballots in the open so she knows they voted Trump. I give my daughter credit because she’s worked hard for Trump, has an exam tomorrow and then is driving back here to NY where Trump sadly won’t win but she says she’s voting on principle and hopes those in other states do the same.
Trump ground game is social media
I’m in PA and this has been my observation as well. Nary a one for Clinton, countless signs for Trump — and a lot of the Trump signs are enormous. Even businesses are putting up signs on the highway (i.e., “Metro Oil and Gas Co. for TRUMP”).
Lawn signs aren’t ballots. Problem remains, there are people in Philly who don’t have lawns, but they have votes. Many don’t even have existence, but they have votes.
Don’t count on PA. But if he wins here, it’s over early, and the rest of the night is rockets and whoop.
The Compost writers really need to get out of their bubble more. People who drive a lot for work or pleasure have been reporting this for months. I’ve driven across VA through Charlottesville and it’s been the case. I just drove through a good chunk of NC and it was the case.
WaPo looking for some cover, just in case.
