Nevada caucus results: Trump poised for big night

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.

Not at all uncalled for.

I believe it was Jedi jones that said Cruz's mailers in Iowa were acceptable because they needed to get conservatives minds right...or words to that effect.

Besides that, grow up.

Oh, and the whole "secret army" thing going door to door is widely known in Iowa AND South Carolina.

What's really uncalled for are Cruz's tactics and outright lies.

Ditto.
Today's weird trumpburst... I can't believe that's what people want as a candidate.

He sounds like a third world dictator attacking an American president.

And yet people want him as a candidate.

Hey...this Cruz guy...there’s something wrong with this guy...something sick.
_______________________________________________________

Yeah he ran an ad quoting Trump on the issue of Federal Ownership of land, in Nevada over 80%, The Trump calls Cruz sick and that he doesn’t know anything about the issue.

Trump is stupid on the issues but he is like Jim Jones to his followers. Pass the kool aid and drink up trumpanzees.

I accidentally left out “Open Borders” in my description of Jebby.

I sure hope people enjoyed their $75 guacamole bowls. There was one gal who claimed she bought the same ones for $1 at ..... a dollar store.

Jeb, sticking it to Americans every chance he gets. Bet he got lots of air miles spending that $100 million dollars.

“Conservative” “constitutional” have indeed become buzzwords for do nothing but pretend fight. I am now more interested in results. If those include shutting down immigration, stopping the Muslim influx, renegotiating our trade, you can give it whatever label you want.

Cruz talks a good game and do alienates everyone that when he held “global warming” hearings with Mark Steyn testifying he couldn’t get ONE “conservative” or Republican senator to attend. That’s no leader.

How many senators, representatives, and governors have endorsed Trump?

Cruz didn’t become pro.life just t run for office.

Cruz doesn’t defend Planned Parenthood.

Cruz doesn’t donate money to democrats.

However Trump is guilty of all three.

Wake up America. Get passed the hype and look for substance.

Vote for Ted Cruz.
