6 hours with tenacious ground forces could only deliver a great victory Trump Super Tuesday.
Tres days before Super Tuesday, a large American white makeup RV Trump again led to an impasse in a neighborhood of two-story houses and neatly trimmed lawn outside Arlington, Texas.
In the back of the recreational vehicle, a picture of Trump, he holding his fingers up in a peace sign, it hovered over the snowcapped mountains and pine trees. On the side of the vehicle, there was a lifesize bust of a Golden Retriever wearing a red hat make America great again. With his golden mane, the dog wearing a resemblance to the candidate himself.
A side door opened, and out poured a handful of volunteers Trump sporting white shirts and hats. Equipped with a smartphone app called Strike List GOTV, that potential supporters and their addresses, which were distributed throughout the area to block walk from Trump listed.
He wandered block Trump is not exactly square with the popular image of the presidential campaign billionaire, who for months has consisted of much more than a series of interviews phoned in news programs and cable mega-marches connected by private plane hop. But as Trump has gained momentum, collecting three wins in four states and 82 delegates so far, the campaign has changed, and began to look a lot like a conventional application driven over bread and butter-activities as knocking on doors.
In this warm day in Texas, there were no major inputs escalators or helicopter rides or screaming crowds, only a team of volunteers Trump checks to voters on their iPhones. Trump GOTV new operation might not be the most formidable in the state; but it could be enough to surprise, giving a mortal blow to the favorite son of Texas Senator Ted Cruz denying the 50 percent threshold needed to grab all the delegates on their own ground.
Among the walkers was John McGrath block a junior high school in Arlington, who had already knocked at 70 doors Trump afternoon, changing every five voters to Trump candidates as Marco Rubio and even Bernie Sanders, she told me. While it is not old enough to vote in the primary of their state on Tuesday, who will turn 18 just before the November general election and this is not the first time McGrath door to door in search of a candidate. Again in 2014, he knocked on the doors of the governor, Greg Abbott, who endorsed Cruz last week. From a military family, McGrath liked what Trump had to say about how to maintain security. And after eight years of the Obama administration, he said, he never supports a one-term senator.
McGrath gave me five samples of the Trump-yard carry, while his phone was pressed in search of his next possible conversion. As we went from house to house, Trump RV around the block as an ice cream truck, peddling not Klondikes or orange Dreams, but a candidate who, according to a platform 6 points printed in red letters in side, "Destroy. ISIS" and "Protect the second amendment" (at one point, I even saw a boy with a face persecution with his mouth open after the vehicle.) and instead of blaring creepy music signs in the RV trumpeted the importance of participation of voters: "Vote Tuesday March 1"
No more than three houses, McGrath won the lottery block-walk: A undecided Republican voter opened the door, a good middle-aged woman who does not scare away immediately. McGrath's eyes widened.
"What is your biggest problem?" I asked.
"I'm not sure if he is the right man or not," said Trump. "I'm not very positive, and I'm a Republican. I'm just weighing the good and bad things and stuff".
"I do not mean that, of the three runners who allow themselves Trump, Rubio and Cruz-he's the only one who has done has been in charge of a lot of money and a lot of people," McGrath said, canceling the Ohio governor John Kasich and neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who also appear on the ballot in your state on Tuesday. "He has the executive experience to be the man. Now, I understand that maybe do not like his character, which has created jobs".
She had not mentioned anything about who did not like his character; there was an unforced error. He and a fellow volunteer women worked for a few minutes, but could not get a commitment.
"The excitement is there," McGrath said as he walked to the house next door. "We just have to turn people."
