I hope Reince Priebus is right about the Republicans having a tremendous ground game that is not much talked about. However, each one of us can provide an additional Ground Game for Trump which I call Herd the Vote which consists of each of us "herding" normal non-voters to get to the polls to vote.
In my case, I already "Herded" the vote by getting two people who normally don't vote to cast their votes here in Florida early voting. I have two more I am herding for Election Day and I am sure they vote. I also am ensuring they vote by helpfully providing them info on coupon deals so they sort of feel beholden to me.
I only requested they vote Trump although I was tempted to mention voting against an amendment to raise the sales tax. However, I figured I better not complicate things. They had/have ONE task and that is to vote TRUMP.
I would recommend you try to do the same. Don't try "converting" anybody since that takes too much time. Just make sure folks that you know who support Trump but are not big on voting actually VOTE.
p.s. In case you're curious, I turned them on to the BOGO Chipotle coupon. You can find it online and download to cellphone.
Excellent! Get-out-the-vote is everything, and the democrats have a huge advantage there - we only get living voters to the polls. Definitely pray, but do something active too: “Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.”
If Freepers don’t have any way to personally bring a Trump voter to the polls, or to volunteer through their local Trump office or in a nearby swing state, which is what I am doing, they can sign up for phone calling: https://talk.donaldjtrump.com
I herded one at the Autozone yesterday: kid behind the counter commented on my Trump T-shirt, said he supports him. I asked if he’d voted already, he said no, he’s going to vote on Monday.
I said, no you’re not; early voting ended Friday - you need to vote Tuesday.
And tell your Dimocrat friends, to avoid the long lines they can vote Wednesday...
Yeah, in the age of flat rate cellphones, one can make all the calls you want and not have to worry about the bill.
I’m still curious about the big ground game Priebus mentioned a couple of months ago. It’s supposed to be YUUUUGE but the MSM is focusing on Democrat ground game only.
I’ve been doing my part by publishing excellent source videos I borrowed from FR. This is one perfect video:

This is a good idea. Trumps ground game was almost non-existent during parts of the primaries, and that has been a concern for the main election.
I think where I live, it would be better if I herd people away from the polls.
I herded 3 Trump voters in Pinellas county - two were a couple who thought they could early vote on their way to the airport tomorrow. Our county still has early voting today so we all went today. Otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to vote. The other was my husband who I finally convinced not to be a neverTrumper.
Speaking as a member of the “ground game” I think its useful but perhaps overrated.
The ground game is really all the committed folks out there who drag their friends to the polls.
Great job, PJ-Comix and thanks for your efforts. “Herding” is an excellent idea to help push us over the top this election.
Folks, we really need to concentrate on our guys, who are usually outnumbered in votes by gals. We need ALL our guys to turn out so let’s “herd” them to the polls!
Trump Train comin’ thru and there’s no stopping The Deplorables Express! All aboard!! Next stop, Pennsylvania Avenue!!
So pick up your phones and herd the vote.
time to put down the phone and reward yourself. Last rally, Michigan, plane has landed:

Closed that gate....and that herd looked pretty good.................
Just work your cellphone contact list.
