WAUKEE, Iowa — The Republican Party belongs to President Donald Trump, and everyone in the Waukee Elementary School gymnasium knew it. Even the man who was ostensibly trying to persuade his neighbors otherwise.
Some 140 miles away, when the caucus captain at the Butcher Block Steakhouse in Cedar Rapids called out to two men standing in the very back of the room — the only two who had not raised their hands to support Trump — there was a very pregnant pause.
To ensure that grip holds, the Trump campaign dispatched more than 80 surrogates to caucus sites across Iowa to rev up his supporters. In Waukee, his chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, ditched a campaign script and drew raucous applause for listing some of the administration’s recent actions. Caucusgoers, asked why they were taking an hour out of their Monday evening to support an incumbent who was likely to coast to renomination, said they wanted to send a message: that they stood by Trump, especially as he battled his way through an impeachment that they said was personal and politically motivated.
