I thought it's high turnout? Or is it just high turnout for the GOP?

Yeah, but the wild card is eligibility thresholds and who people go to for their second choice.

Joementum if Trump or Bernie or hilariously both win, do you think that the state party officials who are scared of losing the 'first vote that matters' status are justified? Or do you think they won't have anything to fear even if they keep up such a bad track record?

Well both of those are way more reflective of the nation than Huck or Santorum, but also way more dangerous to the establishment, so I think it depends if they end up being nominee.

The problem has always been finding an alternative the parties can both agree on.

I'd expect higher then expected GOP turnout even without a theoretical Trump surge, there are twice as many viable to semi viable candidates almost all of whom are certain to be more appealing to Iowa conservatives than Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney.

The eligibility thresholds is only for the democrats who only have three candiates, one of which is getting approximately no votes and surely if you're in it for O'Malley you're going with Clinton > Bernie.
