You do realise a ground game isn't just to spread name recognition?

Everyone knows who Hillary is as well

I don't know, it's just that you have to scale the importance

The rallies were the biggest advantage Trump had in 2016

Most of the ground game is getting people to actually vote

@Deleted User Nixon barely won in 1968

Trump campaign had huge oppertunity to get white working class voters registered

they failed almost totally at that

Ehh

For the popular vote it was close

@Deleted User you're not making sense

go take your anti depressants

It would have been much stronger had Trump's ground game not been trash

Lol

But Nixon had a major clear advantage over Humphrey in the electoral college

If Trump was given the kind of ground game Hillary did

He would have easily won

I think Wallace took a bit from Nixon's vote.

I'm not sure about that

@FLanon slight popular vote margins can result in large electoral college margins

That is an untrue statement

The kind of people who vote for Trump are the ones who know already

Hillary campaign knocked on way more doors, made way more phone clals

The Trump campaign really could've done more GOTV yeah.

I mean, technically you can win 49 states and lose the popular vote

I don't think so

But the thing is that GOTV for WWC is basically done by unions.

If we had that level of activism we would have done much better

So he needed to expand his union support for that really

Nevada, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Maine, etc would have flipped

Trump's not the kind of person you knock down a door for and appeal to moderacy, either you're on the train or you're not.

And for the millions of people who aren't registered?

I don't think they'd vote for Trump

You'd be surprised

He'd be scary to the kind of person who's apolitical

Even if just 5% of non voters in Nevada got out and voted for Trump.

The fact is we need to do all this sort of stuff to increase turnout.

He would have easily flipped the state

Of course

He won

I just don't think it's as vital as it's made out to be
