Trump campaign suddenly frets over GOTV operation in Pennsylvania

Ooops. Looks like incompetents are...incompetent. Forget to pay the bills? Forget to follow up? Whuh happen...LOL!

What's been increasingly clear throughout Election Day is that the "bad things" that really have the Trump campaign worried turns out to be their GOTV operation—or lack thereof. In a stunning series of tweets, NBC's Peter Alexander has painted a picture of dismayed Trump campaign officials who somehow weren't prepared for Pennsylvania to be such a critical state and perhaps don't have the ground game they need in order to deliver a state that nearly everyone has been eyeing as the potential break point for the better part of six months.

... to their cars after a recent rally? Lol!

The recent rumors about Republicans leaving polling places early, before voting, wouldn't surprise me at all! We're talking about people who tend to be unwilling to make sacrifices!

who proceed to argue votes are fraudulent with no evidence. Asked to produce evidence they just pull a Ralph Kramden and go "homina homina homina..."
