Jennifer Jacobs, one of the top political reporters at the Des Moines Register, was on Special Report the other day and noted that Ted Cruz is running a phenomenal ground operation. And with his high poll numbers, it sure looks like he's the shoo-in at this point. Remember, Donald Trump is testing the theory that he can mobilize fence-sitters and people who don't normally turn out for the caucuses. It's very participatory in Iowa. You've got to mobilize people, and apparently Trump's not doing the kind of outreach at his rallies that you would normally expect from a campaign with a strong ground game.
Now, what if, hypothetically, Cruz wins Iowa and then heads into New Hampshire to knock Trump out of first place in the polls days before the election? Oh boy, this is going to be an excruciating primary season.
