Why Trump's Supporters May Just be for Real

Think about it, who else but true believers are going to go out in the cold and the rain last night in NH to attend a Trump rally?

While everyone else is shutdown for the holidays he's still out in full force and they are still out in full force to see him.

I give him and them some credit at least. Nothing drives me crazy more than how everyone goes home for the holidays in the Beltway press. No news for the week! Cable show after cable show-no Rachel Maddow, no Chris Matthews, no Joe Scarborough. There's a word for these folks: pikers.

 Trump warned the crowd that the media is saying 'Gee Trump has lots of supporters; let's see if they vote.' He again warned that they hit the polls.

There has been varying stories about Trump's 'ground game/' Some say he hasn't done enough, others say he's done more than is appreciated. Josh Marshall argued that the ground game is not that important outside of the caucuses-which is just in a few states, Iowa, and others.

However, this impressed me. Guess who I received a Christmas card from in the mail box today? You guessed it-Donald J. Trump. How did this come to pass? Well as  gag I and my buddy Kev both got Trump t-shirts and wore them around as a joke to see what reaction they lead to. I was able to bull some Republicans into thinking I was one of them too!

But this shows Trump is thinking-he sent me a card though this was the only time I bought anything or made any overture that could be read as support.  You can dismiss this as no big deal but it's more than most political campaigns do. The card really had a personal look and touch to it as well.

So while the media is dismissing his plans to spend big in the early states, well, the media has been wrong countless times in 2015 about this race.

In another hilarious encounter, Trump went after Christie.

Still, as I've said I'm now a Chris Christie Democrat-in NH for him to place best among the Establishment candidates would be a great boon.
