“Cruz’s campaign has a chairman in all 99 counties”
So does Trump’s campaign.

Thank you Thank You Thank You!
Finally we see that totally bogus chart crumpled, tossed in the circular file, taken out, uncrumpled and fixed up just right!
Whaa Booob Beckel you don't see? LoL. Trump already has the people and most business is conducted by using one of these these days you maroons.
And doing a caucus is pretty much showing up to vote. There's nothing hard about it. If some dingbat is dragging feet or whatever you say lets vote now.
And another thing Boob Beckel. You see all those thousands of people who show up for Trump rallies in Iowa? What do you and you others think is happening there besides cheering and listening to Trump? These guys have mouse brains.
Good one! Trump theme song; The Who - “We won’t get schlonged again”.
But Trump has big rallies, so he should be declared the winner.
LoL.
= :^)
Anyone who marginalizes Trump simply has to be ignoring, for one thing, his rally turnouts. Those elitists have a problem with getting stuck staring at one cherry-picked tree until they are so cross-eyed they think the fuzzy thing they see is the whole forest.
It’s essential that Iowa residents with strong ties to the county/community call the shots on personal contacts with local voters. Part of a smart campaign operation with a great ground game, especially in a caucus campaign, is knowing what will, and will not, be well received by the intended audience. The data-driven aspect comes into play in knowing which issue(s) are most likely important to a voter personally contacted. We don’t want to waste their time and aggravate them in the process. Out of state volunteers will work in the background when appropriate. Of the 2000+ Cruz volunteers, volunteers from Texas number around 500 that will travel to and from Iowa between now and Feb 1. I expect significantly fewer than 500 from Texas will be in Iowa at any given time.
Normally somewhere around 20% of the registered GOP voters show up for the caucuses.
That leaves around 80% for potential caucusers if they can be motivated. From that
80% group is where Trump or the others will have get their winning margins, imo.
Cruz will be strong in the base 20%.
Good for him.
As far as I’m concerned there are only two GOP Contenders, Cruz (1) and Trump (2). The rest are non entities, period.
I am also fully aware that if not for Trump, the News cycle would have been Jeb! 24/7 and things would be completely different for anyone running against him.
This will be the most interesting Election Season I can recall. But then again, at my Age I don’t recall much.
I just laugh at these CNN doofuses @ post 21 link. They BS to the audience saying or alluding that caucusing is some super difficult task. A child could do it. Where, when, and how is advertised by the party. Just showing up is 99% about caucusing.
I like that woman. She’s quite good.
That guy on the right feigns dismay, but doesn’t give a hoot what Obama utters as president.
The guy on the right Wilson is virtual nutbar when by himself and tweeting about Trump. He's a candidate for the loony bin.

I’d love to see that.
If that ever happened, you’d be in for a treat. I’d be the best prepared and hit them from every imaginable angle that could be thought of if need be.
The argument about who the pro-ILLEGAL-immigration lobby hates more is like counting the angels dancing on the head of a pin. They hate them both with a passion.
Why wait for actual elections?
It appears that Cruz has done the same and in a normal year is poised for a big Iowa win. But Trump appears to be energizing a large part of that 80% that hasn't been turning out.
Also, people exaggerate the difficulty of participating in a caucus. It's not a big deal. You show up at your precinct and stand for a couple of hours for your candidate. Granted, most Iowans haven't bothered because nobody has really inspired them to come out on a cold Iowa winter's night.
The evangelical crowd turns out because they get into that sort of thing and they are proud of the fact that they can affect the results and make a big national story. I think Trump's strategy is getting a good portion of that 80% that doesn't normally participate to turn out.
