Trump has revamped his Iowa caucus playbook to make sure supporters vote
ABC News
His campaign is focusing on its ground game after he lost Iowa in 2016.
Eight years ago, then-first time presidential hopeful Donald Trump kicked off his campaign rallies as songs by Luciano Pavarotti and Elton John blasted away.
He still does, except now the campaign also plays in-depth videos explaining the caucus process, hosts panel discussions among caucus precinct captains and even gives out "limited edition" Trump-signed hats to campaign volunteers as supporters wait for him to take the stage.
It's an effort by the Trump campaign to flip the script for his third presidential run by revamping its Iowa playbook, recognizing the importance of ensuring that the excitement supporters show at campaign rallies translates into their actually heading to their local precinct to caucus for the former president.
It's a lesson Trump, then an Iowa caucus novice, learned from his loss to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in 2016, despite having momentum from earlier in the cycle.
