Donald Trump for president of the United States of America. Make America Great again.
(CNN)It's the moment of truth for Donald Trump.
The brash real estate mogul has touted his business record and wealth, defied political correctness, commanded social media, insulted Mexicans, Muslims and his rivals, and refused to apologize for anything. And through the long preamble to the election season, Trump has dominated the Republican race at every turn.
Monday night's Iowa caucuses will offer the first real test of his ability to transform all the attention surrounding his candidacy into lasting electoral success.
Polls suggest that Trump, who has never stood for any political office before, stands on the verge of a potentially stunning victory that would shake the Republican establishment. He implored his supporters on Monday to make sure they show up to the caucuses.
"They say the more people that come out, the better we're going to do," Trump said in Waterloo, Iowa. "So you've got to go out."
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Trump's main GOP rival, said he's feeling "at peace" about the caucuses.
"I'm feeling good," he said on Glenn Beck's radio program. "I'm feeling at peace and I'm feeling inspired."
If Trump emerges on top in Iowa, Cruz said he would "happily congratulate him."
