This is current expectation - Cruz wins based on ground game.
Cruz voters are veteran foot soldiers, but the Iowa Republican caucus really isn’t that daunting when you get down to it... But the big question is will the Trump voters show up?
“will the Trump voters show up?”
The same silly question was asked 4 years ago about the first time caucus voters supporting Ron Paul.
What happened of course is that Ron Paul outperformed every poll and came within 3 points of winning the whole Iowa caucus.
It’s not a huge sacrifice to go to a nearby voting location to write your candidate’s name on a piece of paper. That’s all that the Iowa caucus is.
“But the big question is will the Trump voters show up?”
Last night an FNC Democrat talking head said that even though Trump voters will stand in line for four hours in 10-degree temperatures for a rally, they probably won’t get out to vote for him. Arrrgh! Sounds a bit like Baghdad Bob.
Cruz voters are veteran foot soldiers,

Speaking of Veteran and foot soldiers, it is a damn shame they are excluded from the IOWA process
when they are out of state in their military service duties.
Voting should be taken seriously and often times people don’t do their duty.
But to exclude the military......
In Iowa this caucus process goes through four stages before the final selection is made
just before the national GOP convention.
There are 1681 preciencts in the 99 counties and each precienct has a caucus. From
that caucus people are selected to go to the county caucus and there they select
some lesser number to go the congressional district caucus where the final group is
selected to go the State Convention to make the final choice.
