    Trump started the day with a rally in Waterloo, Iowa, urging people to turn out. He told the crowd that while he is leading all the polls, none mattered now if they did not attend caucuses.

    “Tonight is so important: this is the beginning of taking our country back,” said Trump.

    At a later rally in Cedar Rapids, he said his security had warned him there might be protesters with tomatoes, and responded in typically pugnacious fashion.

    “If you see someone in the crowd getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them,” he told the crowd.

    Trump reassured that, “I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees.”

    The Iowa caucuses kick off a primary process that leads to the parties’ formal presidential nominations this summer. The voter gatherings are a long and sometimes arcane ritual, taking place in 1,100 schools, churches and other public locations across the Midwestern state.

    With months of heavy exposure to White House hopefuls, many Iowans are slow to decide who to back.

    “I’m still checking them out. The field is large and it requires some thought,” said Paul Albritton of Carlisle, Iowa, a training coordinator at Iowa State University, as he waited to see U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida last week. “I’m thinking about who can win in November.”

    For the winners in Iowa, the prize will be valuable momentum that could stretch for months, while many of the losers on the Republican side could quickly begin dropping by the wayside.

    Donald Trump is a fraud: Report confirms the billionaire’s presidential bid is a long and calculated con job
    Donald Trump’s presidential campaign feels whimsical, like a practical joke or publicity tour gone awry. But it turns out the Donald is running a long con. A new report in Politico suggests Trump has been plotting this stunt for years, and he knew exactly what he had to do to succeed. According to the report, Trump was approached two years ago by GOP operatives who wanted him to run for governor of New York. To their surprise, he declined but added that they would be useful when he ran for president. “I’m going to walk away with it and win outright,” Trump told the group, “I’m going to get in and all the polls are going to go crazy

    Further proof that Trump is unfit for the White House. Maybe he and Christie could have a duel or fistfight to determine a winner.
