The Patriot Post® · Where Were Trump's 'Best People' in Iowa?

“Donald Trump’s professed strategy — for everything — is: I’ll find the best people, the smartest people, terrific people, and those terrific people will come up with the best solutions possible,” writes National Review’s Kevin Williamson. “Implicit here is a pyramid of terrificness with Donald Trump at its apex. And what was Trump’s explanation for his poor performance in Iowa? ‘People told me my ground game was fine.’ I.e., ‘I got bad advice.’ As it turns out, Trump could not find the best people, the smartest people, terrific people for the relatively straightforward process of identifying supporters in Iowa, the population of which is less than half of Long Island’s, and getting them to caucus locations. Bend Beijing to his will? Construct thousands of miles of effective barriers across the Mexican border? He couldn’t get his team to the Dunkerton Community Hall and Bunger Middle School when it really mattered. Trump cannot accept responsibility for his mistakes, which is a crippling disability for any leader. He blames his underlings while insisting that the most important skill he brings to the contest is his ability to choose the right people for the job.”

Instead, he’s blaming Ted Cruz for cheating. As with all narcissists, his failings are someone else’s fault.
