VIDEO: Caucus Drama
Monday 1 February 2016 / Hour 2, Block A: David M Drucker, Washington Examiner Senior Congressional correspondent in Iowa; John Fund, NRO; Rita Cosby, WABC News Director; in re: at present: 63% if precincts in, Clinton so far wining? GOP: Ted Cruz leading with 28% of vote, then Trump, then Rubio, with many key areas not yet reporting. In Clift (Des Moines suburb): Cruz is winning with an excellent ground game. “Tonight is Peak Trump.” —JF. Two thirds of caucus-goers watched the debate that Trump boycotted and now won't vote for him for having dissed Iowa voters. Rubio is beating Trump in two counties. . . . A new exit poll: of the undecided (a huge chunk – 35-45% as of this morning) went to Rubio, then Cruz, then Trump. The dread LOSER (oops – lemur?) word is following Trump; Cruz will try to close on him in NH.
