times and that s just the truth and we ll see what iowa des decs monday night. there s a lot of people working, clearing ice. you re not going to melt anything between now an monday night. it s too cold to do that. in the rurals, you ve got four wheel drive. all right. these people are used to tough weather. maybe not arctic chill that we have right now but they re pretty used to that weather. so you and dana have a special weekend of america s newsroom, today, news, live from iowa. what s going to be on the show. we ve got 99 counties, i don t know if you studied it or not. it s pretty much built on a grid, the entire state. we ll break down what we saw eight years ago, really our best point of comparison, what ted cruz did, the winner in 2016, what trump did and what marco rubio did and try to figure out where those candidates from eight years ago fit into today s composition for this republican
would be a significant choke, not as big of a choke as it would be if we didn t see the outcome of iowa in an iowa caw caucus on tuesday, turn out like the polls of suggesting which is resounding victory for donald trump. right now the final iwan des moines register poll has donald trump at 48%. this has in the past been a fairly good predicter, not perfect, the polls have been off before, but to see rachel this number at 48, it was at 53, could be at 50, margin of error is 4%, so haley and desantis are kind of tied. she s pulled ahead. if this is the outcome, it will change the race heading into new hampshire and south carolina, no doubt. rachel: donald trump getting greedy. he a wants to break 50%. he s taken a swipe at vivek ramaswamy and i think he wants his voters to go, listen, a vote for vivek is a vote against trump and for the other two, nikki haley and ron desantis, so he s getting greedy, wants those
i don t know. could be. you wonder. let s ask somebody from iowa who gets it all, say was attorney general was at a rally with donald trump last night. great to have you. can you answer any of these questions here? oh, absolutely. we have record setting snow and cold for caucus night this year on monday night but we also have a record in that president trump s support here in iowa is historic. the most anybody s ever won a caucus by before has been 12 points and he s poised to blow that record out of the water. he s doing great. he has lots of energy and moment momentum, support from every corner of the state in iowa. i think we can almost take that to the bank, that record of i believe it s 13%, 12, 13% from bob dole, will probably be beat here by donald trump in iowa. but the question is, how big is
with a white hat with gold letters on at that particular site making sure that trump has a presence. they want to get there. if they don t, i m sure there will be a certain way to spin that in the following way. when trump came here eight years ago, really didn t have the ground game. i ve been coming out to iowa since 2000, 20 years now. the first candidate i reported on was d dick ge ephart. that s the year that john kerry got a helicopter the and he lost his voice and won the caucus, went to lose against george bush the following november. every time you come to a caucus, republican or democrat, they each have their own flavor that goes around the state. and i don t really think yet that we re going to know what that flavor is. other than there has not been an overwhelming favorite for republican caucus in modern
