That is why the polls did not reflect the result. As I said, it's one thing picking up the phone to a pollster and saying you'll vote for Trump, it's quite another to spend your evening at a caucus debating. I can see how some Trump supporters would be intimidated by the caucus process as it would've been their first time taking part (the polls showed Trump had a higher percentage of first time participants). I can also see some closet Trump supporters being embarrassed about airing their support in public (caucus participants have to sit in certain parts of the room depending on who they support).

When all they have to do is turn up at their local high school and put an x in a box behind a curtain I'm sure you'll see his support pick up. Carson has just withdrawn btw.

Rubio is the man now though. I actually think he should be fav for the big job.
