Trump On Election Strategy: ‘I Don’t Know That We Need To Get Out The Vote’

“I don’t know that we need to get out the vote,” the Republican nominee concluded. “I think people that really want to vote, they’re gonna just get up and vote for Trump. And we’re going to make America great again.”

The Trump campaign has yet to develop on-the-ground support in critical battleground states as election day draws nearer and Hillary Clinton's poll numbers in those states rise. Trump has only one field office in all of Florida, as Politico reported, and lacks the basics of a campaign in Hamilton County, a key county in the swing state of Ohio.

Donald Trump should just forget about wasting his money on GOTV efforts.

We need to contact Trump and make sure he knows just how much money he can save by skipping a GOTV effort.
