lol...Patricia Murphy was just reporting on CNN she was in N.C. checking out ground operations.

[PearliePoo2]

She said all the MANY Hillary offices were "busy as bee hives". People everywhere working hard, humming with activity. Then she was finally able to find the one lone Trump office where there was one guy "trying to learn how to use his phone". hahahahaha!
When she reported this I started laughing so hard my dog came running over to see if I was alright!!
Damn, this just tickled me to no end!

[NewJeffCT]

1. one of the primary reasons

I think Clinton will outperform the polls by several points. She has boots on the ground - people in offices making calls, people to pick up the elderly or infirm and drive them to the polls, etc.

[PearliePoo2]

3. I agree...this is where and when it all comes together! Early voting has started!

All the hard work, time and money organizing an efficient ground game will pay off.
Dumb-shit Donald stubbornly believes his rallies are enough and are all he needs.
Please proceed, dumb-ass!

[NewJeffCT]

7. and, Trump will go to his grave

blaming everybody but the man in the mirror for his loss.

1) Crooked Hillary
2) The liberal media
3) the GOP establishment and the RNC
4) Fox News
5) His campaign staff
6) Melania Trump (I'm predicting a divorce in 2017)
7) Every state election official in a swing/close state
8) whoever else I forgot

10. How could you forget Meredith McIver?

[calimary]

20. Yeah, I think you're spot on, and, unfortunately, particularly with #6.

I think she'll soon find herself on the way out.

When I saw, earlier this year, that she's 46, I said "uh-oh!" Forty-six? OY! She's in trouble! Fast approaching her sell-by date. Hope she got SOMETHING in the prenup... (Or Laura Wasser as divorce lawyer.)

I do expect that sometime after next year, assuming he loses, he'll find the need to trade the old model in for a fresh new blonde who's much younger (but just a hair older than Ivanka - after all, he did promise his daughter he wouldn't get with any woman her age or younger).

[NewJeffCT]

25. My joke a few weeks back was

that his 4th wife will be from Russia, but will really be a KGB agent from Putin who is there to make sure that the Russians get their investments back.

[calimary]

33. OUCH!

Now that would not surprise me. He does like his exotics. And I bet he'd want another blonde.

[Democat]

2. Clinton reset the password on his phone!

And most Democrats are voting for Trump.

[PearliePoo2]

6. Yeah, Hillary and Obama took his phone to Kenya

and worked it over! And then the crooked media covered it up!

[Roland99]

9. to this >>>>

[woodsprite]

4. She must not have been in Emerald Isle, NC

When we were there in August, there were literally tons of properties with Trump/Pence signs up. Made me feel a bit like I was camping in enemy territory.

[dbackjon]

5. Yard Signs have nothing to do with field offices

[LiberalFighter]

8. Campaigns will target areas where they can maximize the votes.

Emerald Isle population is about 3,600. During summer season it is about 50,000. Visitors don't show up on their lists.

[wildeyed]

37. I had to look "Emerald Isle" up and I live in NC.

Hardly anyone lives there. Hardly anyone lives in Carteret County, period. Mecklenburg, Wake County and a few others are the population centers.

[woodsprite]

38. Maybe it was the local Trump campaign office that put them all over the area.

It was right down the street from the campground we were vacationing at.

[wildeyed]

39. Or lots of rich Republicans live there.

The coastal areas of NC are surprising Democratic, even the white, working class and semi-rural areas. It is up in the mountains that people get crazy. But since this is a barrier island, I am assuming that these are second homes and vacation rentals. Who knows. Trump signs are bad for business, that is for sure! I bet you won't rent there again.

[DesertRat]

11. LOL k&r

[ChairmanAgnostic]

13. Where's the dial. All my phones have dials.

This can't be a real phone. It doesn't even have a cord! Go TRUMP!

[randome]

14. "Tell Meredith McIver we need backup! Now!"

[ChairmanAgnostic]

15. LOL!

[kstewart33]

16. Pearlie, great report!

Thanks very much.

[SunSeeker]

17. K & R

[ailsagirl]

19. A definite LOL on that!!

I've burst out laughing so loud that my cats have fled the room, which made me laugh even harder!!

Great way to begin the week!!!

[bekkilyn]

22. I've signed up to be a poll greeter for the first time ever

Will have my first session this Thursday and I'm really excited about it too!

(Oh and I'm also in NC)

[PearliePoo2]

23. What are your duties as a poll greeter?

Did you get some training?
Hat tip to you for the work!

[bekkilyn]

27. No formal training session, but....

There are slides and instructions online for how I'll need to prepare. There is also a poll greeter captain who will be overseeing things, so I shouldn't be alone out there without help. I'm supposed to smile, thank people for voting, answer questions and provide information, be respectful to everyone, including those working for opposing candidates, and avoid getting into debates. Also, I can help people sign up to volunteer themselves if they seem interested.

[Patiod]

40. Good for you!

Good luck with the "not getting in debates" part, because good GOD the Republicans love to talk and argue!

[bekkilyn]

42. Thank you! I'm at least used to...

...avoiding political debates as most of my family are Republican/Conservative and I've lived my entire life biting my tongue and ignoring most of the anti-Obama/Hillary/Whomever comments during family gatherings.

[DemInND]

28. Thank you for helping out!

My mom will be working at a polling site too. Nov. 8th will be a good night for America and for us Dems!

[ffr]

24. Hillary's got game!!!

Or as POTUS Bill said, "she's got juice."

[DemInND]

26. It's all about oil!

The Hillary Clinton campaign is a fine example of a well-oiled machine. She's got teams everywhere working hard, trying to get the word out and give Hillary more votes. The more the merrier. Trump on the other hand hasn't been oiled. He's rusted up and pretty much ground to a halt.

[greymattermom]

36. Yep

postmenoapausal women know the important of that

[NastyRiffraff]

29. Trump will blame everything and everyone

except his own lack of preparation. Of course, his campaign staff, whom he never listens to, will take it on the chin for that!

Early voting is a wonderful thing!

[luvmybluestate]

32. i will lol, when hrc is in the wh, til then, stay vigilant n/t

[BlancheSplanchnik]

34. LOLOLOLOL!!!!!

[IronLionZion]

35. Did people leave his campaign?

or did Trump just never have much of a ground game to begin with?

I always thought his supporters were mostly the loud types who scream at rallies and insult people online without actually doing much campaign work.

[Patiod]

41. Our local Hillary office was lit up and busy at 7pm last night

DK what the Trump office looked like, but I did notice that the local Republicans had a table at a street fair last month in a nearby small (55D/45R) town, and it had literature for local Republicans, but not a word about Trump.

Meanwhile, our Hillary table had big Hillary signs, in addition to signs and literature for McGinty and all the downballot folks.

The Hillary campaign is big and is kicking ass in suburban Philadelphia!
