I recall listening to the Rush Limbaugh show one day and Mark Simone was guest hosting. He made a comment that stuck with me. It was very early in Trump’s campaign.
He said that he had known Trump for many years and one thing about DJT is that he WINS PEOPLE OVER. That’s what he does.
I remembered that and have watched it play out over the ensuing months. It is nothing short of incredible how he not only wins us over but gets us connected and locked in “to the death” so to speak.

DJT needs to be winning over the GOPe and get those 1237 delegates.
He needs to win Wisconsin. That does not look like what he is trying to do right now.
Pennsylvania is not looking great. He has to win big everywhere.
I don’t know what the campaign is doing in those states but when every enemy is lined up against you, you have to be active. I don’t see much going on.
That’s the goal.

Yes, they are the ones that do the actual, you know, work. The bookkeeping, the lining up of candidates for everything from county dog catcher to governor. In the larger population states, they supervise the office staffs, the big donors, the volunteers, the precinct committee people, the elected officials who often believe they are superior to the political party that got them elected and no longer attend party meetings. Any state chairman could probably double this list.

Many people don’t have the stomach or the patience for it. You all should applaud not slam these people in both parties. It is post-election where most of the dirt starts to get spread around.

Specifically, Little Bird found that “Since the start of his campaign, Donald Trump has retweeted at least 75 users who follow at least three of the top 50 #WhiteGenocide influencers.”
“Fortune used Little Bird software to generate a ranked list of just under 2,000 #WhiteGenocide “influencers” as of February 8. The more impactful, the higher up on the list (which, understandably, ebbs and flows a bit over time).
“The Portland company found that 67.5 percent of those top 50 “influencers” follow Trump. The next highest figure: Ted Cruz, at 17.7 percent, followed by Hillary Clinton (5.7 percent), Bernie Sanders (4 percent) and John Kasich (2 percent).”

Most of PA is direct election of delegates. Voters need to know which candidates for delegate are Trump supporters versus Cruz (or Rubio) supporters. NPR ran a story this morning saying that Trump has been lining up delegate candidates for months. Kasich has not. I would guess that Cruz has his delegates lined up. So the biggest challenge in PA will be for Trump to communicate to voters who “his” delegates are.
Walker is not very popular in WI. Nor is Ryan outside of Wis1. If either one of those squishes endorses Cruz, Trump should just re-tweet their endorsement and add “Ted Cruz – ‘outsider’ my butt.”

What you say has quite a bit of merit. It took me months to get in touch with the DJT campaign to help out and once I was in, I’m told to relax until the fall. There is a very very nice lady on CTH that works in the florida campaign and they had those gals and guys calling SC. There is almost no ground game whatsoever. Still, he won SC by a huge margin but in the marine corps we didn’t say to ourselves…relax, don’t worry, we’ll win in the end because it’s us. We simply didn’t. I fail to understand this lack.
So many of us are depending on him to win. We in LE and MIL. And all of you that want more jobs and it seems like a half butt operation. Definitely shoestring, but that’s okay in itself. There are 10’s of thousands that would volunteer free time, office space, phone lines, you name it. I own a business and could dedicate a back room to a call center, for instance. All free of charge and there are thousands of us wanting to roll this hard and heavy. All free where he doesn’t spend a dime. I just don’t understand. His campaign could easily be 10 times larger at little cost, yet he doesn’t do it. If it was. he would be leading in WI and PA by double digits. So I am sticking in there but wish he would get his ground game on. We can’t do it for him because we don’t have the records to call, etc. We don’t have the endorsements to go on local TV and radio. We are helpless unless he activates a ground game.

http://townhall.com/columnists/nickadams/2016/03/23/trump-revolution-could-be-more-incredible-than-reagan-revolution-n2138333/page/full
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Excerpts:
While it may have been unimaginable to generations of America that lived through the Carter years, America is in much worse shape than she was then.
Seven years of a president that has deliberately diminished America at home and abroad, in accordance with his worldview, beginning and ending with apology tours, has taken its toll.
Patriotism has become politically-incorrect, and libelling America at will has become acceptable. Believing in American exceptionalism is now considered culturally-obtuse and academics at elementary, middle and high schools, along with college campuses, intentionally and recklessly paint America as a hateful, bigoted and oppressive place.
Political correctness, once born on college campuses, now weaponized by the leftist cockroaches that inhabit and preside over social media, has become a way of life. America is now in a race to become another European country, aspiring for mediocrity, resenting success, with all the self-loathing and suicidal inclinations we see in that continent.
There is a war on America. A war on Christians. A war on white, middle-class men and women. A war on anyone with traditional views on marriage, the environment, patriotism and life. We lose our jobs. We miss out on opportunities. We’re canceled as speakers or disinvited from social gatherings.
Enough is enough.
A President Trump would change that.

Trump being honest about the Gulf War disarmed MANY liberals who thought Republicans/conservatives were impossible to listen to because they felt they intentionally lie about the motives for war. The unwillingness to condemn Planned Parenthood sends chills down the spines of pro-life people like me – but also makes these people think twice about who Trump really is.
People by and large are NOT controlled against their will. Even Cruz is not intentionally plotting to keep the GOPe in control but is acting in his own selfish, ambitious motives. If he felt he could truly win by being against the establishment he would. But since he needs their $$$ to run, it isn’t an option for him. I think we’d be surprised how many in the media would “buy a vowel” overnight if they saw it directly help their own pocketbook. Apparently Piers network ownership hasn’t threatened his livelihood yet, but you can be assured the minute it is – he’ll suddenly start attacking.

Initially, Trump said ‘defund’… then, wisely, likely w/ input from Ivanka, he put the onus on PP. Stop abortions & any relationship w/ abortion providers, get funding. Keep the relationship, lose funding. Thus avoiding any ‘war on [poor] women. Even in TCTH, we’ve had poster state they’ve/family have used PP for pre-natal & other services. At least one was a married grad student and the location and prices of PP worked for them.
That Trump is thinking ahead to a general and removing the ‘war on women’ meme is smart. Those like Cruz, prefer to create opposition, to stand, nobly in the face of resistance. Why chose an unnecessary hill to die on?
As for the argument that Obamacare should make PP obsolete, the reality is not only can people lose their doctor and won’t save money, many simply cannot afford the premiums/deductibles and don’t qualify or don’t apply for Medicaid. So, until the mess is straightened out, let PP decide whether they’re really for ‘women’s health’ or show that abortion is their priority.

If you listened to Trump closely, he despises abortion but praises PP for the healthcare they give women in clinics. It’s a two sided issue so watch exactly what he says.
LikeLiked by 1 person
I think Trump is correct in what he said, that he supports the actual “women’s health” stuff PP does, but would still defund them over abortion. That’s reasonable. The left tries to lump “women’s health” with abortion, and then claim you’re against women’s health if you’re against PP. Trump wisely separates them. This gives Democrats a method whereby they can support Trump even though they’re pro-abortion.

From a general election perspective i think it’s great. From an actual position I hate it since PP only exists to kill babies. The other stuff gives them tax money to drag a lot of women in and support the same overhead that kills the kids – but like I said, from a general election strategy I think it helps him not seem ‘right wing’ to the lefties who might vote for him..

Poland Flushes Merkel’s Refugee Migration Scheme Down the Toilet, 24 Thursday Mar 2016
In the wake of the ISIS attacks in Brussels, Poland’s prime minister, Beata Szydlo, cancelled Poland’s agreement with the EU to accept Syrian refugees. “We can’t allow for events in western Europe to happen in Poland,” said Szydlo.
This change of heart is good for everyone except German chancellor Angela Merkel….

Personally, I think that, excluding the usual lefties and other malcontents, President Trump will be very much liked and respected by western Europeans (the real ones), just as much as he will be by Americans. The whole of the western world is crying for strong leadership, and Trump seems like the guy to do it.

Yes, Enfant .. this is what is so terribly frustrating! I can foresee the fences that will be mended, grievances addressed, pride and self respect returning to our poor country which has been lied to and abused for so many years.
Some of Donald Trump’s biggest critics will grudgingly have to admit he is right about so many things as the brakes are finally applied and the new course is given. The world will actually love him as we do here, and those Americans who are saying right now that they are afraid of him? Sorry, but that one does not compute to me at all.

That’s one great aspect to Donald Trump, he points out problems, but he’s not a defeatist claiming that nothing can be done to resolve issues. Instead, he’s positive and believes there are solutions to the problems facing America. That’s the type of attitude and leadership one expects from the leader of the free world. I hope he gets elected.

Piers is still Piers. He hasn’t changed on any of his opinions. He just happens to be good friends of Donald’s. He has even been on and won celebrity apprentice. Even coming back and being part of the judging in other seasons.
Ironically Donald and Piers have a lot in common. Both hated for their opinions, both say exactly how they feel and don’t care what others think and both very successful.

ISIS made video after the attack with Trump’s image and his words about Brussels once being a beautiful city but now being a horror show. I think it actually helps Trump because it is acknowledging that he is correct in his assessment.

That’s why Trump needs to get at least 1237. I have no idea what his ground games and GOTVs are. Even though I’m a worrywart, I’m learning to trust Trump(Trump as therapist, ha ha), so I’m hoping for the best. What I can say is that every candidate who I wanted to win and didn’t, lost because of an inadequate ground game.

Gospel,
it is not true that Trump needs over 1237 to win, as there has been much discussion on other websites that anything over 1200 delegates will most likely win and even as low as 1180, and Mr. Trumps chances are still good.
Obviously, the more the better though.
