Just an update that Trump is at 97 percent in the GOP caucuses with more than half of precincts reporting. It’s unusual for a party with an essentially unopposed nominee — sorry, Bill Weld and Joe Walsh — to hold caucuses.

Bush in 2000, so holding a perfunctory vote for Trump was seen as a good way to help maintain Iowa’s spot.
