This state that has long embraced its reputation as the Wild West of politics is expected to embrace anti-establishment candidate Donald Trump in a blowout in the Nevada Republican caucuses on Tuesday night.
In a state where only 33,000 of the state's 400,000 GOP voters turned out to caucus in 2012 -- a mere 7% -- the campaigns of Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and one-time candidate Jeb Bush got organized early, snapping up talented operatives and key endorsements, while beginning caucus trainings last fall in the hopes that a strong organization could overcome Trump's momentum.
But Trump appears to have steamrolled through all of that, dominating not just Nevada's unreliable polls, but capturing the excitement and buzz in the race with his visits here.
In interviews with dozens of Republican voters across the state over the last week, many said without hesitation that they were standing firmly with Trump and had given little thought to the other Republican candidates.

Ping.
Would love to see Trump break 50% tonight.
Hey...this Cruz guy...there’s something wrong with this guy...something sick.
They’re just trying to raise expectations so whatever happens he will be a failure and losing steam
Does anyone expect that Trump will be able to overcome the cheating that Hitlary and Harry Reid got away with in the demodummie caucus to overcome Sanders? How the hell do those demodummie crooks get away with that crap all the time. Is NO ONE watching them????????
[Hey...this Cruz guy] got MY vote!
TED CRUZ 2016
Are you joking? What’s wrong with Senator Cruz?
Candidates usually try to "lower" expectations.
What planet are you from.
Trump said today at a rally, “I’m the only one here. The rest already left the state already”. Caucus goers should think about that.
This is it! Trump’s poll numbers will tank now, I tell ya!
Nothing wrong with Cruz. He can lube your car with his extra oil.
Trump has had a VERY good week.
He’s the only one there because he’s going to win. Everyone else knows they’re toast, so they packed their bags and left Dodge.
He’s just repeating the words of his messiah Trump.
See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3400912/posts for example ...
Nothing at all other than losing 34 states
If Trump can't get a majority in a state with legalized gambling and legalized prostitution, he probably ought to pack it in.
Go Nevada!
Folks want a real leader, who’ll put America and Americans first for once. No one is interested in electing a saint or a Pope.
