How big is his ground game in Iowa?
Trump is ahead here. But I don’t think his draw here in Iowa is any different than anywhere else.
From what I read; Trump supporters around the country talk exactly like his supporters here.
People like his bluntness and have a hope he can get something changed as an outsider.
Last I heard was about a dozen paid staffers intending to hit all 99 counties. Trump is a hot ticket due to reality TV. A lot of middle-aged women volunteers getting organized.
Walker’s got a pretty good ground game. Cruz too. And surprisingly, Carson.
Jeb never bothered.
But it is, after all, just Iowa. Unknowns can come to national attention, and seemingly good candidates can stumble, like Hillary in 2008 or Perry last cycle.
