John Batchelor has been covering this aspect of Trumps campaign by questioning reporters on the scene and they frequently reported Trump does not seem to have one.
Could it be the reason he decided to pull out of the debate and then blame Fox News for his defeat ? Which would of course be accepted by Trump chumpions and not Trumps strategy decision .BTW When Reagan skipped the Iowa debate he lost Iowa.
Heard reports that he fired Santorum s guy.
Could we have a thread that does not degenerate into a flame war? Pretty please.
Have not heard him in years. Must find out where I can find him. Used to pick him up late nights on WABC.
Perhaps I missed something. I thought we were in agreement.
We support the same candidate Ted Cruz. Deal with your hyper-sensitivities on FR and butt out of this.

In central Wisconsin I pick him up at 10pm on Detroit’s WJR am 760 weekdays after Levin delaycast. Dependa on reception conditions can also get WABC he is on at same time.
You know, despite all the carping on this site lately, there is something we could do that would actually shed some light on the turnout question, in real time on Monday.
Freepers who live in IA and intend to caucus, say a dozen or so, could first determine how many people showed up in 2012 at their caucus site and post that info. Someone could collate the responses into one easy-to-read chart.
Then, Monday night, they could go to the caucus, take a headcount at 7:15 or so, and report what their count. If they wanted to also add a comment as to the makeup of the crowd, fine, but not necessary.
With a dozen or so data points, we’d have an excellent gauge as to whether the turnout will be at record-breaking levels, or not, particularly if some of the observers were from areas that generally see a fairly large number of attendees.
Just a thought....wouldn’t be terribly difficult to implement, assuming the records are easy to obtain from the 2012 caucus.
Oh, and the reason for doing it? Trump’s supporters, per the polls, tend to be people who haven’t usually caucused regularly in the past, and a high turnout would indicate they’re turning out for him.
What if Carson wins?
Good idea. I have yet to see anyone identify as being from Iowa.
Here’s his ground game - get two candidates with huge support to endorse him prior to the primary....enter stage right.......Huck and Santorum
Yeah, after all the efforts, Trump’s side completely overlooked the “ground game.”
Really?
LOL!
So you agreed to burn down Trump threads?
Just disgusted from mindless attacks and flames - regardless of affiliation.
Juvenile poo flinging
I dunno. Did they? Cruz people showed theirs off. Trump people seemed not to.
As I said, it's another interesting thing about this. As is the "undecided." Most recent number I saw was over 30%.
His show is available by podcast, on demand for free. Almost all popular talk show people make their programs available this way.
I don’t know about his show in particular, but most podcasts have very few if any commercials and you can choose when to listen rather than being on their schedule.
It makes talk radio a lot easier to take.
I once served as a precinct captain in Clark county, Washington state. A list of registered republicans in the county is available to anyone. That is all that volunteer needs. I started with people living in my sub-division of 400 homes from that list. And expanded from there.
Last election I worked a ground game for Joe Carr - unsuccessful primary of Lamar!
We do not have party registration in Tennessee; but a list of who voted in which primary is public record.
Got an app that had everyone who had voted in Rep primaries in my precinct. Names and addresses.
We had a set of questions to ask, we reported the answers and uploaded them.
