Where Is Karl?

UPDATED 1.31.16:

I am in Des Moines today.  I've partnered with Comrade Matt Forney who has been in town for a week covering the Caucus events.

Matt and I, and roughly 2000 others, saw Trump today in the West part of the state - Counsel Bluffs.  He shared the stage with Jerry Falwell Jr. in a relaxed, seated conversation.

Trump distributed $100k to the veteran's organization, Partners for Patriots.

The topics were the same: Strong defense is key.  Cruz is losing steam  The others are "dropping like flies."  Hillary is easy to beat - but will she be around?

Then Trump brought out his wife (below), and later his daughter and her husband, and Falwell's family too.

Matt Forney is currently supporting Trump, but don't let that deter you from reading his work.  He (and I) were the most subdued at today's Trump rally. 

Comrade Matt has been attending these events for the past week, and has published quite a few articles about what he has seen.  Matt brings a refreshing, albeit sometimes harsh, eye to the candidates and their supporters.  He considers himself part of the "alt-right," the disenfranchised Republicans leading the anti-establishment movement today.  I've come to find his perspective spot-on.  Consider reading some of his work:
