I thought I heard Trump say yesterday that he would be in a couple of caucus locations tonight. He didn’t mention it, but I wonder if Ivanka, her husband, Melania and possibly Jerry Falwell, Jr (and maybe even his family) will be in others. I read something earlier on FR that Trump actually has a better ground game than is being portrayed (I hope that’s true as many are touting how great the Cruz ground game is).
I think the difference in the caucuses (at least as I understand it from what I’ve read) is that the Pubbies do the votes by secret ballot, so to speak, whereas with the Dims, the person has to actually go stand with the group for the candidate they want. IMHO some may not want to say they’re voting for Trump, but will do so via secret ballot.
I heard or read the other day that Trump was sending shuttles around for those that needed a ride, but haven’t heard anything about that since.
The crowds for Trump events have been largest by far - how that translates for the number of those going to caucus is anyone’s guess. The one solace I take is that Ann Seltzer on the Des Moines Register poll has a great prediction rate as does Microsoft’s bing and they both predict a Trump win in Iowa. While I would prefer for Trump to be #1 in Iowa, I wouldn’t have a problem in Cruz is #1 and Trump is close behind at #2. I suspect Rubio will be #3 - just hope he’s not better than that and I would prefer Carson #3 and Rubio further down (sorry, just think he’s swarmy and he reminds me of a used car salesman with his fast talk).
It will definitely be an interesting evening!
GOOD MORNING!
Yes, thank yo very much!
Mr. Trump said very much the same today on Morning Joe, save for the details about the shuttles.
He said he is definitely attending some of the caucuses.
I have to leave now. Louie to his Vet.
