As I predicted in my post yesterday afternoon, the Nevada caucuses had record-setting turnout last night with over 75,000 people appearing at their caucus site to vote.

These numbers mark a 69 percent increase over the 2012 Nevada Republican caucus numbers. The Democrats, on the other hand, saw their turnout decrease by a third.
Wow. R Turnout in NV last night was more than 75 thousand - a record & 69% more than last cycle. While D's were DOWN more than 31% this year

It should be noted that with nearly 35,000 votes received, Donald Trump received more votes in this caucus than the entire GOP field did in 2012.
