Why are there Hillary Clinton signs outside the caucus site at Jefferson Elementary (50321) in Des Moines?

Parking lot full, no parking for at least a half a mile around the caucus site. Unbelievable!!!

43% of caucus goers are first timers - 2012 was 35% - good sign for Trump

Republicans have cars. It’s the Dems who need to worry about a “ground game.”

Trump just spoke in front of caucus attendees in Des Moines, and received a STANDING-O at end of his short speech.

A friend of mine said their precints was overflowing! 4 years ago, they held it in a large auditorium and she said there were only 414 people there.
This is for the republican caucus in NW Iowa.

Where I come from, “Standing Room Only” doesn’t mean that a handful of people don’t have seats. It means that it’s so crowded that they take away the seats, because NO-ONE has room to sit down.

“Trump will win hands down then. “

Indeed. this bit of early evidence may be indicating a total blowout for Trump in Iowa.

NPr has Cruz in the lead right now. Unfortunately, Rubio isn't far behind in 3rd.
