unfortunately Donnie now thinks that âground gameâ means anything you shoot yourself and then grind into hamburger pattiesâŚ

"I think we couldâve used a better ground game, a term I wasnât even familiar with. You know, when you hear âground game,â you say, âWhat the hell is that?
âBut people told me my ground game was fine. And I think by most standards it was.â
He didn't know what the term even meant. But his people told him it was fine. How do you absorb feedback that an aspect of your campaign is OK, yet acknowledge you didn't even know what it was you were being told was working?

Well, not by the standard of how many votes you got, you stupid ape.

The respect he has for our political system is awe-inspiring.

ââŚJoe, Iâm doing this for the first time. Iâm like a rookie. And Iâm learning fast, and I do learn fast.â
Hmm, he's also a rookie at directing military strategy. Yet having never served, nor directed an army, nor had access to military intelligence, he has already devised a quick, foolproof plan to defeat ISIS. Trump's rookie status hinders him from defeating Ted Cruz, yet presents no obstacle to defeating ISIS. Interesting.
Donald Trump told Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren that he has a âfoolproof wayâ of defeating ISIS, but he wonât share it with the media. He will, however, put his plan into action if heâs elected President of the United States.
âIf I run, and if I win, I donât want the enemy to know what Iâm doing,â Trump said of the Islamic extremist terrorist group that has been steadily causing trouble in the Middle East. âUnfortunately, Iâll probably have to tell at some point, but there is a method of defeating them quickly and effectively and having total victory.â
âAll I can tell you it is a foolproof way of winning, and Iâm not talking about what some people would say, but it is a foolproof way of winning the war with ISIS,â he said. âAnd it will be absolutely, 100 percent âtheyâll at minimum come to the table but actually theyâll be defeated very quickly.â

I thought he had the best people working for him. More likely he has a team of people who constantly tell him how great he is.

He got a call from HR â which would stand for âhumanity resurgentâ except anyone who could vote for Cruz might not necessarily deserve the term âhumanityââŚ
Now the real competition emerges. Opus and Bill the Cat are back, and theyâre running for the Presidency/ Vice Presidency on the campaign slogan âBring back the double space after the period.â

I can only imagine how Trump would have responded to such lame excuses from a contestant of The Apprentice.

Thatâs reallyâŚnot good. Nor particularly surprising.
The problem for his campaign, however, is you donât go from learning what the word means the day after losing in Iowa to suddenly ramping up and having strong ground games in the remaining 49 states over night. What it means is, you find out that you are pretty much screwed in those 49 states, because there is no time left to get up to speed. All that money he has been not spending? Its no longer the important resourceâŚtime is. And he is running short on it now.
I mean, come oneâŚjust getting access to a voter database 2 weeks before the caucus? Thatâs the very definition of negligence in campaign management.

âDear Shit-for-brains, As in war, football and politics, you need a fucking ground game.â
P.SâŚYouâre not the smartest guy in the room.

I almost never do this, but Iâm reposting a revised version of a comment I wrote on the story about him blaming his defeat on skipping the debate
No, he isnât right that skipping the debate cost him Iowa. He lost in Iowa because heâs a superficial douche who didnât understand how Iowa works, didnât see the need to learn how Iowa works and thus didnât even recognize how much it was necessary for him to learn in order to make an intelligent decision about who to hire to do that which he was either incapable or uninterested in doing himself.
And this is what makes the very idea of him being president both laughable and terrifying. The belief that he doesnât need to get into the details, that he can just hire âtop peopleâ and tell them to do what needs to be done and report back to him without even having to learn enough about the subject to distinguish a âtop personâ from a grifter, a boob or a charlatan. Indeed, heâs the kind of manager who thinks big picture information is âdetailâ thatâs beneath him.
In a lot of ways, heâs everything that made McCain a bad candidate taken to a power of ten. Same superficial, content-free, all meaningless sloganeering all the time messaging, same idiotic belief that a campaign can be won with TV alone and beggaring the ground game to pay for more TV, but without the political support structure that you acquire simply by virtue of being in political office for several years.
If Trump wasnât his own bossâworking with a heavily capitalized business that was already a going concern when he took it over-- no one would hire him to be a CEO and anyone who bought the hype and did hire him would fire him sooner rather than later. Because he really is an utter incompetent, unfit for even a middle management cubical at a not-very-well-run corporation, like Lucent or HP. Like Carly Fiorina, not coincidentally.

This, coming from a guy that for a couple of years owned the NJ Generals from the now defunct USFL. Doesnât know what a ground game is? Yeah, I can believe that.

The poor dear probably confused ground game with road kill and thought it had something to do with Tom Harkinâs BBQ.

No wonder this guy went bankrupt four times. Seriously. No sense of learning, no sense of self-reflecting, no sense of planning, no sense of analyzing, no sense of implementing. His huge ego and daddyâs money is all he has.

âThe caucus system is a complex system that I was never familiar with,â the Republican presidential candidate continued. âI mean, I was never involved with the caucus system. Donât forget, Joe, Iâm doing this for the first time. Iâm like a rookie. And Iâm learning fast, and I do learn fast.â
Despite what some voters may believe, just because the professional politicians in DC have screwed up, it doesnât necessarily follow that someone with zero governmental experience or acumen will fare better.
