According to Scott Brown, there wasn't much of a ground game for Trump until he got involved. Scott Brown Touts Trump Ground Game, "Phone Banks Humming" in New Hampshire

It seems to have worked. :)

Thanks for your on-the-ground reporting.

I drove around to satisfy my own curiousity, figured I wasn't the only one interested. The phone banks were the Trump stealth strategy I had hoped existed, though I didn't know how it might manifest. GOTV calls and door to door knocking are two aspects of the ground game that can't easily be observed from the road. Signs and sign holders, on the other hand, are right out in the open.

In theory I could have asked around to see if anyone got called, but everyone I know screens their calls thanks to all the fake "charities" that use the anti-telemarketing law's loophole to cold call constantly.

I did hear about a couple of door to door visits - from Jeb supporters. Jeb has money to burn.

An earlier poster said Jeb had spent $36 million in NH.

That’s a lot of scratch for 3rd/4th place. He’s burning money faster than a Democrat with a government checkbook

You noted that you saw only one Cruz sign posted, so it seems Cruz must have had a good ground game to be in third place now.

I'm curious whether Trump has put a little more effort into his ground game in SC.
