Any chance of posting this in a more high-profile place? Maybe Modo could accommodate you, I hear she rents out occasionally.
Snark aside, excellent post, really goes to the core of it.

To be fair, though, after Ronald Reagan and Bush II, for Republican candidates, overcoming innate, intractable incompetence became a pretty narrow rivulet to jump.

One of the best he enlisted in Iowa was a 9/11 denier, truther, whatever the hell they call themselves, and this guy was told to never bring it up during his canvassing or telephoning. Both of which he did very little.

Oh, f*** off.
Even there you have a qualitative differenceâthey were bad at the game in terms of getting good results from their policies, but as former governors at least they knew how the damn game was played. Even Palin understood the demands better than Trump. Itâs truly an unprecedented degree of ignorance in a candidate.

Another example of a vanity candidate who has no fucking clue whatâs going onâŚjust grabs a microphone and HURFLE-DURFS until the desired level of Derp is reached.

This is a man who suggested that one of his fellow candidates wasnât qualified enough because they didnât have proper air conditioning at a campaign event.
And yet, Trump didnât know what a âground gameâ was. HmmmmmâŚ

What additional proof does anyone need to understand this fool is totally in the woods and does not even understand the most rudimentary elements of of generating interest among voters? What other basic tenets about actual GOVERNANCE does he also not grasp?Who is advising him on the core elements of public service? He is the poster child for the adage "too soon old, too late smart.

When asked if heâd rather have a ground game, Trump replied that heâd prefer a loin or a chopâŚ
Cause people told him. People are always telling him things.

"I think we couldâve used a better ground game, a term I wasnât even familiar with" -Trump-
Trump claiming he had âno ground game in Iowaâ is a another one of his lies! Exit polls showed Trump supporters contacted (26%) only 8% less than Cruz supporters (34%).
Very classy of Trump to throw his Iowa staffers and volunteers, who worked for peanuts for months to get him elected, under the bus.

If the media were proclaiming me as unstoppable, I might not have thought a ground organization important, either.

If I really wanted a career posting nearly the exact same column over and over again, Iâd go for Chris Cizzillaâs gig at WaPo. Though granted, that would require me to post exclusively about Hillary.

Only now does Trump agree he is stupid and naive.

So, his excuse is that the âcomplex ground gameâ was one of those âunknown unknownsâ that just snuck up on him? What a crock!

âPresident Trump admitted he got caught flat footed by the Chinese, who for the last two years had been moving assets into place throughout Southeast Asia in what their party leadership called, âthe Reintegration of Historic Chinese Territory.â When asked about the USâs utter lack of response, despite President Trumpâs visit to Japan last year, he claimed he was caught unaware by the efficient ground game of the Chinese, which was more effective than the âCruz Iowa campaignâ that almost lost Trump the presidency.â

This from a guy so insular by privilege he thinks âground chuckâ refers to a scene from the movie Fargo.

this harkens back to McCainâs claim that he knew exactly how to win in Iraq and Afghanistan BUT that we needed to elect him for him to reveal his fool-proof strategy.
then he named Princess SnowPants as his running mate and anything tagged âfool-proofâ went out the windowâŚ
if this bullshit king knows EXACTLY how to make everything work out perfectly, how does one explain the 4+ bankruptcies?
