Polls do not consider HRC's amazing ground game, some examples

Clinton's concert tour isn’t just about big crowds

Instead, her campaign focuses on the distribution of the free tickets themselves in the days before of the event, which lets the local teams collect, analyze, and mobilize thousands of new names in communities where they see warning signs, like young African Americans in Cleveland's Cuyahoga County.
Indeed, for the Cleveland event, one ticket distribution site for the Cleveland event was directly across the street from the Board of Elections office.


And already, the campaign is seeing signs that the concerts are having their desired effect — including when artists are paired with traditional political surrogates: Ahead of President Barack Obama's appearance with James Taylor, for example, the local operatives handed out tickets across the street from an early voting site in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Voting turnout there jumped 80 percent compared to the previous day, making it the single largest voting day there so far — and bumping up county-wide turnout 16 percent by itself.
“It’s about energy, it’s about mobilization. We who work in politics or cover politics have been thinking about this election for a year and a half, but there are still people who have not in some of these communities,” said Addisu Demissie, Clinton’s director of national voter outreach and mobilization. “There are a lot of ways we talk to voters — through the press, through direct voter contact — but this is just another tool in the arsenal to get to communities that aren’t necessarily engaged."

3. While those are impressive…

…I'm always a little bit leery when people predict out "gold-plated ground game" gives us an edge. I remember, even on this site, where we confidently assumed back in 2004 that our superior GOTV operation would make the difference in a close race; instead, we found out that it was the Republicans (working together with conservative churches) which did a much better, and probably decisive, role in turning out their vote.

4. Point Taken, But

. . . we've learned how to do it since then. And there is no sign of any church-related or any other GOTV operation this time for the Goopers.

5. Trump was too busying raiding the money from the campaign to pay for one.

I personally think this whole campaign was some sort of piggy bank funnel to his own companies, free cash for Trump towers is how I'd put it, he is making money out of this, its a free cash injection.
