    Does Trump really need a ground game though? Republicans have national propaganda outlets to get their people out to vote and he’s got plenty of name recognition anyways. I feel like “ground game” is really more useful for local candidates or for Democrats, who have a harder time mobilizing their blocs of voters to actually go out and vote. Otherwise, how useful are these satellite campaign offices in this day and age for a presidential candidate? Hopefully we’ll see it hurt local races more than anything and some sort of “blue wave”, but somehow I doubt it. Trump voters will still come out to vote for Trump and anyone with an R next to their name.

      I agree with you, the strategy here seems to be to pick at biden… any idiot that would vote for trump today won’t gain moral competency by the election. They need to wear away reasonable voters, and assume the flag t-shirts show up to vote when they announce some new moral crisis in October.

      The House and Senate really need the effort. Not every Bozo in… Pick a red or blue state realizes that a seat is up for grabs.
