“They’ve been contacting me now,” Mr. Bohlmann, 47, a real estate investor in Denver, Iowa, said Thursday. “I would say a couple times a week I get calls.”

“Laudner has ramped up his ground game in Iowa dramatically,” said Mr. Crow. “He had such a massive phone center that he had to open up separate offices away from the campaign offices just for the phone center — and it is packed with volunteers.”

Interesting article. Thanks for posting.

Laundner won Iowa for Santorum.

shhh. Nobody’s supposed to know. Remember? They keep telling us that Trump has no ground game in Iowa and he’s gonna be embarrassed Monday night.

[pgkdan]

Laundner won Iowa for Santorum.

And Huckabee too in 2008 IIRC.

[RKBA Democrat]

Only St. Rafael has a ground game. It’s an article of religious doctrine.

I think the odds are good that Trump will surprise people with his behind the scenes strategery.

That would include his ground game.

After all, he didn’t turn $40 million dollars into $8 Billion by being the slowest guy to figure things out.

Not to mention the fact that he has enough money to hire the best brains and most competent people available.

Yep and when I heard that yesterday, my worries for Donald in Iowa went away immediately. I am thrilled he has Laundner on his team. We are indeed lucky to have him.

I figured the “missing ground game” was a function of not shooting until you see the whites of their eyes.

Even Nate Silver had changed is prediction

According to our latest polls-plus forecast, Donald Trump has a 48% chance of winning the Iowa caucuses.

Cruz had 41%

Just reversed in two days.

[nesnah]

No, no, NO! Cruzers are gonna win the day! Don’t you know anything? He’s a natural born {Canadian} citizen and he’s a constructionist on the Constitution! Trump is a NY scum-bag!/sarcasm

[1Old Pro]

He ramped it up simply by allowing Huck and Santorum to provide a tacit endorsement - that will get him votes.

[Cboldt]

I figure he’s had people working on the strategy all the way through the convention and everything in between, on a state-by-state basis.

Stole your Tsunami and tweeted it.

Betting oddsmakers have the outcome strongly biased in favor of Trump. Bet a dollar, win sixty cents (you get your dollar back too).

From his book

hire the best people come up with a plan

Also if the people you hire are not performing fire them
