After Iowa, Trump Showing off Effort to Win in New Hampshire
ABC News ^ | Feb. 6, 2016 | JILL COLVIN AND JEFF HORWITZ, ASSOCIATED PRESS

"It's really about asking them whether they're going to get out and vote on Tuesday and whether they support Mr. Trump," McGough said. He said he had made 1,150 calls for Trump on Wednesday alone.

Kevin Bray, 51, another volunteer, said he had driven more than 20 hours in the rain from Nixa, Missouri, after seeing the results in Iowa.

"Iowa happened and I woke up really irritated," he said. "I said, you know, I want to make a difference." He said he arrived on Wednesday morning and told Trump's team to put him to work.

In a back room of the office, a white board displays ambitious goals for each day.

On Thursday, the team aimed to make 30,000 calls and knock on 2,500 doors. By early afternoon, campaign officials said they were partway to their goals. Their seven teams of volunteers sent to neighborhoods across the state had reported knocking on 823 doors so far.

On Friday, campaign staff hoped to boost the number to 5,000, as more than 100 new volunteers arrived from states such as New York and Pennsylvania to help. The team has run out of the 20,000 cards it printed to hand out during visits and was printing 25,000 more.

"I think look, we'll take nothing for granted," said Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, a New Hampshire resident overseeing the effort.

Ted Cruz made it to all his campaign stops. Jeb Bush made all his campaign stops. I’m willing to wager that the others did as well. Trump’s NYC values aside, he is no stranger to New York weather. He should have planned ahead, just like everybody else. But instead...

“Trump arrived back in New York after 1 a.m. Friday morning rather than staying overnight after a rally in New Hampshire the night before.”

“The rest of his team ended up stranded between LaGuardia and the FBO in Manchester, N.H., CNN reported.”

My original point still stands.

“Was Jeb’s momma standing behind him when he did it?”

Actually, in the clip I saw, the old biddy was sitting next to him and making incredibly snotty remarks about the competition. She’s got some mouth on her — not profane but naaaasty!

I was a campaign volunteer. At the time, the objective was to beat Al Gore.

That's back when people got no choice. Bush? Clinton, Gore? The objective failed. They all have one big thing in common. They're all career government politicians who've done nothing but cause epic damage and harm while enriching themselves.

“Loved the HS kids with the T-R-U-M-P shirts. You don’t see that at a Bush rally.”

That’s because it would take four people to spell out B-U-S-H and I’m not sure Jeb has that many attendees.

“Jeb focus on Trump’s plane not landing.”

Speaking of Trump’s plane, has anything been mentioned about the issue that forced the plane to make an emergency landing in Nashville? That had me a bit worried about what certain people might do.

“You erroneously assume GGG wants to help Cruz, or any republican, gain the nomination.”

Hmmmm... Interesting idea.

Yes there is a Mayor but I have never seen him/her post,

This election is poisonous right now. Not only here but on my face book page too.
Can’t wait till some of these primaries are over.

Aahh I love your post. Credit to whomever made those comments. They offer possible insight into great strategic thinking, much more chess than checkers.

Speaking of Cruz and Rubio, I see them as being so similar to each other, and similar to Obama, too. I’d posted this earlier today:

They’ve never created one thing (Obama).
As far as I know, neither of them has managed a massive, multi-faceted project, employees or a payroll (Obama).
They’re both lawyers (Obama).
They both have short careers in current positions (Obama).
They both have citizenship/eligibility issues (Obama).

A couple other posters have added to the list, I believe. In any case, I don’t predict any change at all if Cruz or Rubio were elected.

The only candidate who is different — in a good way — is Trump.

So, you prefer that I had stayed home and let Gore win. Okay. Flame someone else, please.

The choice, Gore Bush Clinton...

Vote for the better of two evils. That strategy has left Middle America economically gang banged, looted and weak.
