Feb 4, 20163:41Now PlayingDonald Trump was recently interviewed about his surprisingly poor performance in Iowa. In that interview he revealed a striking ignorance, even for him. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola (ThinkTank), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Donald Trump on Wednesday morning acknowledged that his campaign may have needed a more robust operation in Iowa, noting that he only recently learned what the term "ground game" means.
"I think we could’ve used a better ground game, a term I wasn’t even familiar with. You know, when you hear ‘ground game,’ you say, ‘What the hell is that?’ Now I’m familiar with it," Trump said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" when asked if his campaign needed better organization to win in Iowa.
"I think in retrospect we should’ve had a better ground game, I would’ve funded a better ground game," he continued. "But people told me my ground game was fine. And I think by most standards it was."
Trump came in second place in the Iowa caucus, despite polls showing he had a good chance of winning the state.”*
