The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

SNIP Trump Campaign Admits They’re “Totally F*cked”

Donald Trump made the decision to disable the Republican Party’s get-out-the-vote operation, which means that in large swaths of the country, Trump has no operation on the ground...

...Then there’s the ground game. “We are totally f*cked in the field,” said a campaign source. “Whoever takes over the Southwest states has to start from scratch and it’s nearly f*cking October.”

As I’ve reported, the Trump campaign took a big gamble when they dismantled the R.N.C.’s ground operation and chose to outsource to super PACs, including Elon Musk’s America PAC. Now, in the final sprint to Election Day, there are mounting fears about Mar-a-Lago being in business with Phil Cox and Generra Peck, who were intimately involved in DeSantis’s failed PAC-campaign choreography and are now quarterbacking Musk’s operation. As I noted two weeks ago, there have been concerns inside Trumpworld ever since Cox and Peck fired the original canvassing vendors late in the game in July and replaced them with their own. Now The New York Times is reporting that Cox and Peck have fired another canvassing group, this time in the battleground states of Arizona and Nevada, leaving new vendors less than two months to knock on doors, collect data, and do digital advertising. (A source familiar with the PAC’s efforts countered that the change will help them to scale.)

Trump made the decision to save more money that he could put into his coffers to get rid of the Republican get-out-the-vote operation and outsource it to outside conservative groups.

This plan has been a disaster. The groups don’t have the resources to run a full ground operation for Trump, because of legal limits on how funds can be spent, so while Kamala Harris has thousands of field offices and thousands of staffers in the swing states alone, Donald Trump is holding rallies and hoping that hearing from him is enough to get his voters to the polls.

Trump hires nothing but the best, makes the best decisions, runs the best campaigns, if he loses it's because the Demoncrats cheated. The DEMS are stealing the election as we speak. Camelard is already secretly fixing the voting machines in Venezuela. Millions of illegals are pouring in to vote in the election. It's fixed I Tell ya! Fixed!
