I don't think they knew it was going to play out the way it did
The trump campaign was very smart at social media
even though the ground game was actually dog shit
Anyways, yeah, leftists are much more vocal in activism and all that and the right wing isn't good at it
The ground game was decent
Not really
You had a bunch of rallies, Trump was stopping in diners
That's not a ground game
A ground game is people knocking on doors, making phone calls.
Not Trump just popping around for a bit
Well then that's different
Trump doesn't need a ground game because he's a household name
Hardly
Everyone knew-to some capacity-who Trump was before the campaign.
There are plenty of people on our side who don't vote, aren't registered, etc
He was a giant in real estate
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
@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
