RNC Hires Staff To Supplement Trump's Lacking Ground Game In Critical States

[left-of-center2012]

With fewer than 70 days to go before Election Day, the Republican National Committee announced it is making significant strides when it comes to competing in battleground states in the fall.

It still falls far short of the ground game already in place by Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
On Friday, the RNC announced the addition of 392 staffers and 98 new offices across 11 battleground states.

The new staff and field offices will be added in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

With this beefed-up personnel, the RNC said the total number of paid employees across the country now exceeds 1,000 and it "currently has more staff in the field than at any point in the 2012 cycle."

2. This is not a case of delegating responsibility,

it's a case of the leader didn't understand he had to do it, it's a case of the leader made a bad choice not to do it. It's a case of we are doing it before the party totally implodes.

The leader does not know how to lead.

3. "The leader does not know how to lead"

And he won't take advice because, as he's told us:
He has the greatest mind in the world.

4. Karl Rove met with Trump: Rove then said, he was amazed at how little Trump know about campaigns.

And it shows.
Debate prep
Ivanka and Eric could not vote in the NY primary because they did not register to vote, both top advisers
No GOTV
Petty twitter wars
Holding rallies in solid blue and solid red states, instead of going to swing states
Unnecessary insulting GOP Senators, House Members, GOP Leadership
Campaign can not stay on message,
and the list just goes on

The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding
A rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da
