What “ground game”? I live in IL where she’s supposedly from, and I have yet to see a Hillary bumper sticker or yard sign.
The ground game may be digging a hole
Just spent the last week in northern Illinois. Absolutely no Hillary signs or bumper stickers. I did see two Trump signs. No doubt many will vote for her, but there is no enthusiasm evident.
Clinton would allegedly focus the ground game on the 12 swing states, not IL..and not my GA. The Dems had an impressive well organized, well manned ground game in GA in 2014. (It was ineffective as the working class Dem voters were angry with the Dems over their insurance premiums going up.)
I see no Dem ground game in my heavily Dem area in 2016. I assume this is because all money and manpower that money buys has been shifted to the 13 swing states.
