Well we will see on Feb 1st. Trump is a guy who is used to winning. I expect him to pull out all the stops and most reports say he has one of the best ground teams in Iowa.
Trump is a very thorough planner, and I doubt he would neglect his ground game in a state like Iowa where it is so critical. I have no doubt that he is paying close attention to this. Still I think Cruz is better organized, spent more time on this, built a more robust organization, and will also play to win.
As you say, we’ll know more on February 1.
You probably realize that I support Ted Cruz. Nevertheless, should Cruz’s campaign ultimately fail, and Trump’s wins, I will have no problem backing Trump as my second choice. But that remains a long way off, if ever.
