He lacks money and time…..
Oh, and a organiztion on the ground…..
It’s JUST Donald Trump and FREE Negitive media….
Looks like Trumpty Trump could be in trouble. According to this Raw Story article:
Two Republican operatives privately told NBC News Trump and the Republican National Committee have fewer than five staff members between them in Pennsylvania and Michigan. And Trump reportedly can’t afford to expand the campaign’s staff to full capacity in some places, like Pennsylvania, until the summer.
I don’t pretend to know how much that ground game helps because I have never run a national, let alone even a statewide campaign, but everything I hear from people who know about this stuff says that a ground game is extremely important in GOTV efforts.
I have been very critical of the Florida Democratic party because, according to people who live there (I am in PA myself), the state Democratic party in Florida is directly responsible for the Democrats’ miserable showing over the last few cycles. This means that I believe, without direct evidence of my own mind you, that state-level operations do matter.
If I am correct in that assumption, then 5 staff members across two abso-fucking-lutely must-win states for Trump can’t be a good thing at all…. well, for him at least, I suspect that is a very good thing for… you know… democracy… the future of our planet… Europe… America…. it’s the small things in life that matter, the small things.
To juxtapose that reporting, Raw Story says:
Biden’s campaign told NBC News that money went into a hiring spree that brought in 300 paid staffers across nine states and 100 offices in key swing states.
That’s a pretty big difference. A (I assume) Trump staffer had to say this:
One staffer raised serious concerns and made a blunt comparison between the two campaigns.
“This is like comparing a Maserati to a Honda — 2020 had staff and the bodies in place to turn out the vote,” one of those staffers said. “This current iteration is starting from ground zero, and we’re seven months out from the election. It makes no sense and puts them at a huge disadvantage to Biden, who is staffing up in droves.”
Let’s repeat this again my children….
Everything…
…… Trump …..
……… Touches ….…
…………… Dies……………
It appears this might be the case for his own re-election campaign. His incompetence coupled with his greed, leading to his legal troubles is causing his base to collapse.
Yeah I know I know… but the polls, the POLLS I can hear you scream. Fuck the polls, people vote with the pocket books and they don’t give money to political candidates they feel are going to lose.
