Trump May Not Build Out His Own Ground Game

“Donald Trump — who made a fortune in part by lending his name to business ventures on which he left a light touch — appears poised to take a similar approach to building his ground game,” CNN reports.

“The presumptive GOP nominee has argued he can put as many as 15 states into play this fall, but he lags far behind Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in building up troops for a general election battle. Rather than building out teams of his own hires in swing states — the model previous nominees like Mitt Romney and John McCain relied on — Trump is signaling to the Republican National Committee and state parties that he will rely on them to take the lead in organizing key toss up states.”

Meanwhile, Trump tells Bloomberg that there’s “no reason” for him to raise $1 billion for his campaign because he gets so much free publicity.
