So how is the u. S. Going to respond . A lot to get to on this very busy day. We start in iowa where the first votes in what will almost certainly be one of the wildest election seasons in modern history will be cast in just a few hours. But for the first time in a long time, the biggest Question Isnt whos going to win, but who is brave enough to show up . Right now temperatures across the state are well below zero. Windchills hovering around minus 30. Possibly dropping to 45 below. The candidates imploring their supporters to come out anyway. I get it. I know its going to be cold. Think about this. You get to set the direction for the country. Obviously the weather is frigid. Yet weve got large numbers of people coming out. Theyre very excited. Weve worked hard for many months here to sign people up
