Various videos on how to caucus.
These apply to all candidates even if produced by a campaign
Republican Party only (Democrat Party is different)

This is for the PROCESS not for any specific candidate.
The trump video is pretty to the point. The cartoon has more about the delegate and platform issues.
So you can vote for you issue to be in the party platform and still vote to send a message to the DC establishment. Please advise as to your opinions.

Is every voter a caucus voter?
yes every iowa voter is a caucus voter. You can register for your party that very night.
For Example, Reagan Democrats can go and vote for Donald Trump that evening (or whoever, they want) that very evening.
they reregister as a republican first.
The Reagan Democrat also avoids voting for the socialist or {insert insane conduct here} Clinton.
Pretty easy. Find your caucus site and vote.
There is a lot of inaccurate or outdated information out there. Here’s the real deal:
https://www.iowagop.org/caucus-participation/
...At 7:00pm, each precinct will be called to order by the temporary chair, an individual appointed by the county party.
After a permanent chair and secretary are elected by the body, business can begin.
Since 2016 is a presidential election year, the first item of business will be to conduct a presidential preference poll.
After the results are tabulated and announced, other state and county party business will proceed. This official business includes:
*Electing county Republican central committee members
*Electing delegates, alternate delegates, and junior delegates to the county convention
*Electing members of standing committees to the county convention (depending on the county)
*Discussing, submitting, and voting on platform planks to the county convention
Following the precinct caucus, an additional three tiers of conventions will be held, moving grassroots delegates and platform proposals from the precinct level to the county, congressional district, and state conventions...

...Delegates shall be bound to the candidates in direct proportion to the candidates’ respective vote shares in the Iowa Caucuses regardless of whether any such candidate has withdrawn from the race or otherwise does not have his or her name placed in nomination at the Republican National Convention...
That is why I focused on those two videos.
After last year the vote are now GUARANTEED proportionally to award delegates.
videos like this cctv video are general.

I liked the Trump video urging people to show up at 6:30 to be prepared.
Thanks for the link,
I like this bit about identifying helping people to go to the right place to vote:

Where do I go to caucus?
You can use https://sos.iowa.gov/elections/voterreg/pollingplace/search.aspx
to find your precinct.
Once you have identified the precinct in which you reside, consult the Republican Party of Iowa’s list of caucus locations posted here: https://www.iowagop.org/2015/12/03/iowa-gop-precinct-locations/
I thought you might be interested in this. Particularly the short video on how to caucus.
I am chairing my Precinct Caucus and have been told that anyone arriving after 7:00 pm should not be allowed to cast a vote. Those standing in line waiting to receive their credentials WILL be allowed to vote in my Precinct, but I cannot speak for other Precinct Chairs.
IOW 6:30 at least to be at the caucus. (if not sooner)
I bet the lawsuits will fly if that 7pm slot becomes an issue.
