Trump is spending his own money, hence the thriftiness.
Cruz is spending other people’s money. At least he gave them something for it, unlike Jeb.
The only valid point in the article was Trump’s lack of ground game. He put little effort into Iowa in that regard and also in regards to advertising. Straker acts like Trump got 2 percent of the vote. He got nearly 25 percent with less effort and money than Cruz or Rubio. Lost by a mere 3.4 percent and one delegate.
It’s all about NH now for Trump, just like it was all about Iowa for Cruz.
Trump, no ground game and no advertising, yet he comes in Second in a State using a Caucus System that requires the participants to leave their Homes at a specified time to a Caucus location and argue for their Candidate.
Doesn’t sound too bad to me, especially since Trump is a first timer in the vicious game of Politics.
Just my $.02, your Mileage may vary.
Required Disclaimer: I’m a Cruz guy first, with Trump as my second choice. None of the others are a blip on the radar.
