Hopefully the ‘ground game’ myth beloved by political hacks and media dopes has been put to a merciful death by the Trump candidacy.
They blamed ‘ground game’ for a loss in Iowa with its arcane, archaic caucus system but after Trump’s tour de force you don’t hear much about it these days.
A ground game is no substitute for a backbone and a willingness to call leftists and control freaks for what they are. Trump has done just this and is riding a wave.
Romney and McCain refused flatly to do so and earned their reward for cowardice.
Social media has replaced much of the ‘ground game’.
