Serious problems with Trump's Iowa ground game
American Thinker ^ | 1/14/2016 | Ed Straker

Posted on 01/14/2016 5:43:41 AM PST by TBBT

More evidence has surfaced that Donald Trump's Iowa ground game is not very substantial.

One volunteer leader enlisted by Donald J. Trump to turn out Iowa voters has yet to knock on a single door or to make a phone call. Another is a "9/11 truther" with a website claiming that the Sept. 11 attacks were a government conspiracy. A third caucus precinct captain ... said the campaign's goal of having them each enlist 25 supporters was unrealistic.

"There's probably not even 25 registered voters in a precinct," said the captain, Kathy Hawk. ...

"I got 12 to go to the caucus, but I don't know if they will actually vote for Donald Trump," said Rick Shaddock, a precinct captain in Fairfield and the one who maintains the Sept. 11 conspiracy site.

Remember, caucuses require a lot more pushing and handholding to get people to come out than primaries. That's why I suspect that if Ted Cruz is a little bit ahead in the polls, as he is in the latest Des Moines Register poll that came out Wednesday, it will only understate his advantage. Donald Trump hasn't set up a substantial ground game in Iowa, and what ground game he has is run by inexperienced and/or nutty people like the 9/11 conspiracy theorist.

Here I will demonstrate to you just how your own mental issues manifest by repeating them to you.

I fear that you have the mental disorder of palilalia and a severe case at that. I hope you seek psychiatric help before you totally break down and your life is ruined. Please get help!

That’s really helpful. Palilalia. A speech disorder characterized by involuntary repetition of words, phrases, or sentences. Maybe that’s what they’re saying Trump has. Who knows, I sure wouldn’t want that hanging over my head if I were running for President.

I know right. Why would people be saying that Donald is mentally ill?

You post the same identical post on every thread. I hope it is involuntary as if not you have an even more serious mental deficit! Please get help. A pathological liar is not a description you want in addition to your other issues.

An American or Canadian mental hospital?

Do they also treat the rapidly spreading, yet hilarious, Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Thanks in advance!

Trump will get his mental health certified after Cruz gets his Natural born issue certified.

Has any other candidates “team” been vetted by the press?

Trump isn’t the one who was picked up by the cops, having a near nervous breakdown at the edge of the expressway.

And we thought the 0bamas had drama. . .

... I have to wonder: how is Donald Trump going to manage our government effectively when he can’t even seem to manage the relatively simpler mechanics of a campaign ground game?

Trumpee propaganda has to be fought. Don’t like it, don’t click it.
The wheat is being separated from the chaff. Many who thought they were conservative aren’t. Nothing wrong with that. I will remember those national figures and conservative types who aren’t. Trumpees not so much.

Do the Viking Kitties review the zot status of someone who’s been a FReeper since 2-3-1999? In your case, mongrel,why not? Until you can verify that you haven’t gone off the deep end with some sort of glioblastoma, maybe there should be a temporary zot? Like until the election is over?

Just saying.

Fewer than 1000 people voted in the GOP caucus in 2012 in this (Jefferson) county. Ron Paul got almost half the presidential preference votes in the county that hosts Maharishi University and is dominated by Democrats. This is just a smear by seeking out the most non-typical place the author could find.

Trump is leading a revolution in so many different ways, the full scope will likely increase. No matter how this campaign turns out, Trump is leaving his mark:

1. In Europe.

2. On how the Free World views muslims.

3. On how the US views catch-and-release ‘border crossers.’

4. On the Clintonistas.

5. On the DNC.

6. On the Old Media.

7. On conservative timidity and self-doubt.

8. By exposing the Establishment.

9. By heightening an awareness of judicial tyranny.

Trumps is a communication revolution more than anything else. The scope will likely increase in ways yet unanticipated, especially when other conservatives learn from Trump’s example! It’s too late to stop this. The freight train is in motion. (hat tip arthurwildfiremarch)

I see what you did there.

Could also clear up the nagging suspicions about Alzheimer's. The guy is pretty long in the tooth and we all remember what a disaster Reagan was.

The democrats will surely do this and more. Gotta get out front!
