NBC News Calls Donald Trump’s Iowa Campaign ‘Formidable’

“I think what may surprise people is not that we’re mass communicating and that we’re having success,” Laudner told NBC News. “Honest to God, I think what shocks them is that we’re having so damn much fun doing it. We don’t have bad days.”

NBC News profiled Laudner and his plan for Trump to win over Hawkeye state voters. Laudner is a veteran in GOP politics – having helped Sen. Rick Santorum win Iowa in 2012, served as Iowa’s state Republican Party executive director, was Chief of Staff for Rep. Steve King (R-IA) 79% , and the state director for Steve Forbes in 2000, who ended up finishing second.

“They are doing everything right. I have no doubt that their numbers are there. If they stay solid, they could turn out 23 to 26 percent of the vote — enough to win,” a longtime Republican operative in Iowa said to NBC News.

“[Chuck Laudner] knows how to build a database. He knows how to organize grassroots. And he talks their language,” the source told NBC News. “He is a deity among conservative grassroots.”

Trump’s campaign team in Iowa has 12 paid employees – the largest out of any GOP campaign in Iowa.

According to NBC News, Lauder is working on identifying how many voters the team will target to caucus for Trump in order for the billionaire businessman to walk away with a win. With 1,682 counties in Iowa, Laudner explains, “Let’s say we need 40 votes in whatever precinct—[the designated Trump precinct captain] will say, ‘Here’s the 40 people who are going to vote for Trump.'”

I only cited and named Morning Joe’s liberal guests.

They’re usually with Scarborough when Mr Trump calls in and they like Donald Trump.

If everyone in the leftwing media like Trump, then there is something they know that we don’t.

Or there is something we know that they don't.

Such as Trump will roll over Hillary, Bern, or Biden like a freight train.

I’m sorry, I don’t have the link, but I recently saw a story where Trump was talking in person with a group of ministers. They had a conversation, and they all laid hands on him and prayed for him. From the story, seem to recall that they were reporting that he was humble toward God and appreciative of their prayers on his behalf.

Thank God Iowa is not a predictor, and doesn’t automatically go for the RINO the way, say, Texas does!

Lesser known candidates get a fair face-to-face hearing without having to have tens of millions of dollars. Some, like Michele Bachmann and the Dem’s Chris Dodd, fail despite working harder than anyone else.

High profile candidates can ignore Iowa and ‘win’, like McCain in 2008.

From your keyboard to God’s hands. President Trump sounds like music to my ears. I never experienced shame for my country until the last 7 years and it’s about time to turn it around!

Oh yeah, she does.

It’s actually kind of fun to watch her, she’s like a schoolgirl.

No matter how bad things seem, no matter what downers they put up here on articles for us to read, remember this:

You have to keep your head held high, know what your goal is and just go for it!!!

Our goal is getting Trump into the Oval Office in 2016!!!

I know! I just can not fathom how MJ has been unfailingly good to TRUMP.

Apparently there are at least two pundits intelligent enough to accept a free ride on the Trump Express to a significant ratings bump! LOL!

Given the nasty derailment agenda going on against Trump, at FAUX, Joe and Mika (neither whom I have any tolerance for) are raking in a lot of rejected and mocked Trump viewers, along with their standard Democrat audience, and together it results in one or more ENTIRE segments where we all enjoy the merits of Trump together.

It has to be worth million$ to Trump’s pocket book expenses for his campaign.

Exactly so!

I NEVER thought for a minute that I would be watching Morning Joe on a regular basis, but now I TIVO the show everyday in case I’m not awake!

I’ve damn near come around to almost like Mika and Joe “some mornings,” but then both of them will say something stupid and I’ll immediately snap back to reality!

I despise the treatment Trump gets from the majority at FAUX, but I still watch BOR, Greta and Hannity.

Mean Megyn has forever lost me. I’m not the least bit interested in anything she has to say.

God bless you.
