Voting tonight won’t be simple or quick – the curious caucus system requires attendance at a meeting that can last up to three hours.
After months of campaigning and more than $150 million spent on advertising, the race for supremacy in Iowa is close in both parties. Should she capture the Democratic nomination, Clinton will need to find a way to mobilize Sanders supporters to fuel a White House victory.
It’s similar to the strategy deployed by then-Sen.
Many thought Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush would be a top-tier Republican candidate, but he’s trailing badly.

De Blasio today told the New York Times that her campaign initially rejected his offer to help in Iowa because they already had “plenty” of surrogates there.
Clinton’s campaign said for all of 2015, she raised $112 million, the most ever of any non-incumbent candidate in a non-election year.

“We will win the caucus on Monday night if there is a large voter turnout”.

“I have great endorsements”, Trump said, adding that “many, many more are coming”. “This is GOTC – get out the caucus. I’m not attacking Planned Parenthood, I want to expand funding for Planned Parenthood”, he said. MSNBC has asked our readers to participate by asking questions during the debate, in keeping with an important tradition of voters being able to directly get answers from candidates.
All the campaigns are pushing to get voters out.
