Welcome to the IOTW caucus live blog. I’ll be updating as this late night continues. Lots of fireworks already, and I’ll try to catch everybody up.
There are a number of reports of irregularities thus far. There are pictures of ballot workers wearing gear for candidates (which is, apparently, legal in Nevada), precincts running out of ballots, and in some cases, precincts not existing at all.
Record turnout. Ran out of ballots. IDs not checked as required, people voting twice. Officials wearing Trump gear. Its chaos in the Silver State
James Taranto (WSJ) twitter feeds states: WARNING: SOME OF THE IMAGES PURPORTING TO BE FROM THE NEVADA CAUCUSES ARE ACTUALLY MOVIE SCENES.
well, what are the early results?
i read where beck was giving a VOTE TED speech at a caucus location when trump crashed it. Cameras all turned on trump, and the crowd rushed over to him. funny http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-gop-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/02/donald-trump-crashes-glen-beck-nevada-caucus-219703?lo=ut_a1
Early results: Trump 59 Rubio 8 Cruz 12 Oceans 11
@charlie ~ that post was great… that’s something Ceasar, or Pompey would have done!
say what you want folks, the Donald has a pair…. & he ain’t afraid to use them
gaaaaaah…..can’t believe I misspelled Caesar
…let the self-flagellations begin!
He humiliated blech. I am still chuckling about that and i watched it an hour ago. Just a classic in your face. Gotta admit, he knows what to do and aint afraid to do it. blech deserved this.
…this just in….. I’d bark like a dog & allow Dana Parino to lead me around in a dog collar & leash for a sniff of her bicycle seat…. arf, arf, arf neat (Hitlary impersonation, huh?) ….but I reserve the right to disagree with her analysis
“I don’t think Glen Becks fast worked”
Yea well I never thought he was all that fast in the first place.
Not 1 in a hundred would have noticed that you misssssspelled ‘ceaser’ if you never mentioned it, just sayin’.
I sure thought in the beginning that Trump would end up getting bored and go home. I was definitely wrong on that, he is in it to win it.
GET ON the TRUMP TRAIN if you want to LANDSLIDE Hillary!

Damn straight. Don’t underestimate the Trump!
With just 2.7% reported:
Trump – 42%
Cruz – 22.8%
Rubio – 21.8%
Carson – 9.8%
etc.
Looks like Rubino ain’t dead yet!
Just in case the talking heads are confused by Trump’s win tonight, this isn’t about them, it’s not even solely about Trump — it’s about us. Finally!
