Not really

2018-04-23 21:18:52 UTC  

You had a bunch of rallies, Trump was stopping in diners

2018-04-23 21:18:58 UTC  

That's not a ground game

2018-04-23 21:19:08 UTC  

A ground game is people knocking on doors, making phone calls.

2018-04-23 21:19:17 UTC  

Not Trump just popping around for a bit

2018-04-23 21:19:21 UTC  

Well then that's different

2018-04-23 21:19:32 UTC  

Trump doesn't need a ground game because he's a household name

2018-04-23 21:19:49 UTC  

Hardly

2018-04-23 21:19:53 UTC  

Everyone knew-to some capacity-who Trump was before the campaign.

2018-04-23 21:20:04 UTC  

There are plenty of people on our side who don't vote, aren't registered, etc

2018-04-23 21:20:08 UTC  

He was a giant in real estate

2018-04-23 21:20:38 UTC  

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

2018-04-23 21:20:44 UTC  

Everyone knows who Hillary is as well

2018-04-23 21:21:07 UTC  

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

2018-04-23 21:21:27 UTC  

The rallies were the biggest advantage Trump had in 2016

2018-04-23 21:21:28 UTC  

Most of the ground game is getting people to actually vote

2018-04-23 21:21:31 UTC  

@Deleted User Nixon barely won in 1968

2018-04-23 21:21:55 UTC  

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

2018-04-23 21:22:00 UTC  

they failed almost totally at that

2018-04-23 21:22:02 UTC  

Ehh

2018-04-23 21:22:14 UTC  

For the popular vote it was close

2018-04-23 21:22:33 UTC  

@Deleted User you're not making sense

2018-04-23 21:22:36 UTC  

go take your anti depressants

2018-04-23 21:22:40 UTC  

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

2018-04-23 21:22:41 UTC  

Lol

2018-04-23 21:22:43 UTC  

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

2018-04-23 21:23:00 UTC  

If Trump was given the kind of ground game Hillary did

2018-04-23 21:23:03 UTC  

He would have easily won

2018-04-23 21:23:11 UTC  

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

2018-04-23 21:23:23 UTC  

I'm not sure about that

2018-04-23 21:23:33 UTC  

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

2018-04-23 21:23:33 UTC  

That is an untrue statement

2018-04-23 21:23:36 UTC  

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

2018-04-23 21:23:36 UTC  

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

2018-04-23 21:23:38 UTC  

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

2018-04-23 21:23:44 UTC  

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

2018-04-23 21:23:54 UTC  

I don't think so

2018-04-23 21:23:54 UTC  

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

2018-04-23 21:24:05 UTC  

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

2018-04-23 21:24:06 UTC  

So he needed to expand his union support for that really

2018-04-23 21:24:13 UTC  

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