The turn out was huge and Nevada was not quite ready for it. This should be a lesson for everyone! Failing to plan is planning to fail. Be prepared for huge numbers! Stock up on ballots! Lots and lots of ballots! Trump is drawing voters out of their homes and to the polls in record numbers!
There is good news and bad news coming in from Nevada tonight.
First the bad news: The Nevada Caucus was described by news sources this evening as a “disorganized disaster.” Lines were reported to be very long before the doors even opened. Complaints were made about not enough ballots, a volunteer wearing Trump gear and not checking identification. The Nevada Caucus experienced troubles in 2008 & 2012. Results were announced late both years. It looks like they may need to work on a better system.
Now for the good news:
The votes have finally been counted and the winner is…
Donald Trump wins with 42%! Another landslide victory for Trump. Rubio is currently 4 percentage points ahead of Cruz. 3% of precincts reporting at this time.
It didn't come as a surprise that Trump would win in Nevada. A CNN poll reported Trump at 45% in Nevada, Rubio 19%, Ted Cruz 17% and Carson had 7% while Kaisich fell back to last place with just 5%.
Ted Cruz is losing his momentum. Cruz looked like a frog caught in a Texas hail storm after news broke of false reporting about Rubio coming from his camp. It's hard to figure out what Cruz is doing. His campaign began on a positive note and he was doing well. Then he turned negative. The attack ads are not working for him. They have been working against him. I expect the Rubio – Cruz fight to heat up after tonight.
Neither candidate can defeat Donald Trump and the establishment republicans know it. The wheels are coming off of their wagon quickly. The American people have awakened to the realization that if the Establishment Republicans win, America loses.
One of these candidates is going home. The question is, which will it be?
John Kaisich may be the next one to make his exit. Ben Carson will likely suspend his own campaign after Kaisich. I suspect Carson is holding out in order to keep Cruz from gaining votes. If Cruz cannot come back his votes would go to Trump and if Rubio folds first, Trump would still be the greatest beneficiary. As Trump likes to say, everybody loves me. Yes, that includes the Democrats.
One news source reported a poll today that shows 20% of the democrats will vote for Donald Trump if Hillary wins the nomination. With those numbers? Trump would defeat Hillary and win the presidency. Looking at Trump's numbers, he's the only one who can defeat her.
It's time for the Republican Establishment to accept that Donald Trump is the people's choice and the GOP candidate that can defeat Hillary Clinton.
The Trump Train is gaining steam! It's time to get on board!
Congratulations to Mr. Trump for winning the Nevada Caucus.
