“I would imagine because your initial premise is wrong.

People have been participating in record numbers for a primary. I think Trump knows what he’s doing.”

The first part of the group I described will take it upon themselves to register and vote for Trump. The second part of the group will go to a rally or support Trump on Facebook, but never get around to registering.

Trump needs both of those two groups. For the first group you don’t need to do much. They’ll take care of themselves. The second group needs the campaign to identify them and get them registered and get them to the polls.

That requires a significant ground game in each of the key states. Every election there is a state or two which is won or lost by a few hundred or a few thousand votes.

So get your act together Donald. You’re way behind where you should be getting your campaign organized.

It’s too funny how all you concern trolls think you know better than Trump, who has been winning it all so far, and giving him advice. It’s any wonder up until now the left always wins because weak links always buy their premise.

Oh, I understand your thesis on this. But let's remember the relative size of the two groups is pure speculation.

I think Trump has proven pretty definitively through Cruz that the "ground game" is NOT as effective as the old guard claims. His "air campaign" has proven more efficient, timely, and in tune with the current era, and thus far anyway, has been more effective.

While I don't want to paint those who advise "guilding the lily" as conceited or concern trolling, I do think they are innocently wrong.
