    Does Trump have an actual campaign team on the ground in Iowa and New Hampshire?

    To be fair, they did preface his opinion with the warning that he was Mitt Romney's chief strategist.

    I think the hope is that Trump won't want to spend a lot of his pwn money, especially if he doesn't think he's going to win.

    As this article points out, because of all the free media he generates, he hasn't had to spend much so far:

    After talking up money, Donald Trump isn't spending it

    He does have an operation on the ground in Iowa, and New Hampshire. Not sure what he has beyond that, but if he wins either of those states, he'll gain momentum.

    He'll be able to gain free media too. He's not afraid of going on TV, radio, or the internet. He creates news.

    I think he'll also use the fact that others have burned millions against them in his campaign. He'll make them look like folks who are free spenders, with little to show in return.

    Will he eventually spend the $100 million plus he'll need to to win? Maybe. Time will tell.

    I think he will if he has to. I think this whole thing is worth that much to him.

    What would Trump do once he got to the White House? He'd probably get bored pretty quick.

    He'll do the military so good, it'll make your head spin.

    Actual quote from Mr. Trump.

    The big news in Conservative Twitter is Trumo telling FOX how much he likes eminent domain.

    Eminent domain has long been a big issue for Conservatives, so not only are they upset with Trump, but they're being driven mad that it doesn't seem to be bothering many of his supporters, including some Conservative talk radio hosts.

    I mentioned this earlier (I think), but I have several acquaintances who are Trump-o-philes and who consider themselves to be conservatives. When I've asked them what they think about his views on Kelo, the general response has been "Huh? What's that?"
