Does Trumpenfurer even HAVE an infrastructure or ground game?? Has anyone done an analysis of..

.... the repigs' candidates and their organizing efforts?

I, like many people, assumed at the start that Trump was not a serious candidate. I still think he never intended to actually see this all the way through.

Is Trump like a dog who chases a car and catches it but doesn't know how to drive?

Will poll numbers convert to caucus wins? Or will someone with an infrastructure steal his lunch?

I admit I don't know much at all about statewide organizing for primaries. Especially the caucus states. I know a little bit of the Chicago Machine - but that's it.

Are we going to be surprised by someone we have written off? Like Walker or Bush?

Il Donald is having a fine lark, when it gets to not be fun any more or starts seriously hurting his bottom line he'll just stop but I'm not sure it will get to that point.

I'm surprised at the number of people who can't see Trump is trolling the snot out of the Republican party.

At this point I'm starting to surmise a Sanders vs Trump contest might not be unthinkable and God alone knows where the fallout from a nuclear exchange of that magnitude would land.

Trump has hired some strong people including Goodhair's co-chair in Iowa.
