Like I said before, you’re trying way. too. hard.
I didn’t have to distort anything. You did.
And you’re projecting: the belief that the media is promoting Trump is a distortion of reality and something you have not proven.
Precinct leaders do not mean supporters for any candidate.
Iowa (apparently) does not assign delegates until MAY so this “first” is not a “first”.
There’s a misunderstanding about precinct leaders. It means that someone is assigned or has volunteered to each of the 1700+ precincts, with many leaders covering more than one (sometimes many more) precincts.
It does not necessarily mean there’s a spearate ‘leader’ for every precinct, although Cruz would come closer than Trump.
That *doesn’t* mean Trump does not have an enviable ground game, but in relying on people who aren’t necessarily party regulars, their actual turnout is much harder to predict.
Do not underestimate Trump. He is always going to be one step ahead.
This article is from *October*.

There is no doubt in my mind they are on track to get done what they set out to do.
what reaction (real not sarcasm) would the gope have if trump clears the table in the initial primaries?
Most states don’t even bother to count write-in votes, and they are rarely reported by the media. Louisiana doesn’t even allow them.
