"It's really about asking them whether they're going to get out and vote on Tuesday and whether they support Mr. Trump," McGough said. He said he had made 1,150 calls for Trump on Wednesday alone.
Kevin Bray, 51, another volunteer, said he had driven more than 20 hours in the rain from Nixa, Missouri, after seeing the results in Iowa.
"Iowa happened and I woke up really irritated," he said. "I said, you know, I want to make a difference." He said he arrived on Wednesday morning and told Trump's team to put him to work.
In a back room of the office, a white board displays ambitious goals for each day.
On Thursday, the team aimed to make 30,000 calls and knock on 2,500 doors. By early afternoon, campaign officials said they were partway to their goals. Their seven teams of volunteers sent to neighborhoods across the state had reported knocking on 823 doors so far.
On Friday, campaign staff hoped to boost the number to 5,000, as more than 100 new volunteers arrived from states such as New York and Pennsylvania to help. The team has run out of the 20,000 cards it printed to hand out during visits and was printing 25,000 more.
"I think look, we'll take nothing for granted," said Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, a New Hampshire resident overseeing the effort.

I’m in the NYC area. I was supposed to go up to NH but got snowed in...again. There’s a good group here called New Yorkers for Trump.
And then there is this:

Cool moment on the second one at 2:20 where the SS makes the young woman take her hand off Trump and Trump says put it back up there.
Good points. It appears that he has learned from Iowa and it will l l on l y make him more determined in the other states.
Ah!! So, Trump wasn’t the only one kept from NH, due to weather :)
I see where he’s rescheduled his missed event. I think he’ll be having 2 -3 NH events, before the primary.
I’ll look up this group. Thanks!!
Agree with you totally. The Iowa loss may actually be the best thing that could have happened to him.
Nice. Thanks for posting!

They’re on Facebook. Nice people.
And yet he’ll beat Jeb and watch him walk away suspending his candidacy.
Wow...I guess Trump figured out he needs a real ground game to win instead of flying around in his jet making speeches.
And yet he is only 1 delegate behind Cruz (for now) after Cruz spent two years, millions of dollars and caused a scandal. Great job there Teddy.
Wouldn’t that be hilarious if Cruz only won Iowa and that is kinda suspicious. Lord that would be heavenly. Go back to the Senate with all your friends. lol.
We are on the same page...hope Trump is....tonight’s debate should show us how much he has evolved...due to his Iowa debate.
Trump just has to maintain tonight. He doesn’t need a hit out of the park, however it would be nice. The reason I say this is because I don’t think he will get much time. The time will go exclusively to Rubio to defend whatever goes his way and the 3 Governors are all going to be raising their hands saying pick me....pick me....Cruz will be slammed on his theft but after that he will be in the backseat with Trump which is fine. It will be interesting for sure.
Someone on another thread posited the following...
Iowa was never Trump country
Trump decided to minimize his investment - both in money and time
Trump still finished 2nd - only 1 delegate less than Canuck Teddy
Trump was able to see the strengths of his competitors incl Rubio
Trump saw how Canuck Teddy engaged in less than ethical practices that now has stopped any momemntum into NH
Now the real primary begins...
I want to see Trump that goes from like 75% bombastic and attacking...to about 15% bombastic and has really added more depth in knowledge to the issues facing “the common’ person....their families etc.
If he goes hard after anyone I want it to be Rubio, Hillary, Sanders, the Dem Party, Obama and the GOPe
Very True.
I look forward to voting for Trump in the primary and general.
Trump 2016!
what is wrong with posters who don't understand this...I believe the king Hussein O. had his heli grounded a couple weeks ago and had to drive thru the DC area to get back to the White House...wake up...Air Traffic Controller know best..
Will stand with Trump until he tells us he has NO chance, I am an American who is sick and tired of PC and Professional Politicians ... we have a Capital full of them...enough is enough...
As proof of how dangerous these conditions were, a woman from our church, slipped in the ice/snow and broke her arm so severely they had to use numerous titanium pins and screws to piece her back together again.
TRUMP and his campaign were wise to cancel the event for the safety sake of everyone who would have attended. Coming from one still digging out, I can say first hand it wasn't "a little snow".
