For someone whose daddy is polling at 50% in Iowa, Junior sure looks nervous about this Monday's caucus.

Here's Donald Trump Jr. on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter pleading for his supporters to show up in the freezing cold to support Dear Leader.

I don't think anyone knows how the weather is going to impact the results of the caucus, but all of the candidates are nervous about what it will do to turnout:

The Iowa caucuses Monday will be held during a dangerous, record-breaking cold front as Republican presidential candidates worry the impact will depress turnout.

Temperatures are unlikely to break 0 degrees Fahrenheit, with wind chill pushing the temperature as low as -45 F Monday night, according to the National Weather Service. Officials are warning that frostbite can occur within 10 minutes of outdoor exposure and as Iowans will be lining up at their local caucus site, with some forced to wait outside for extended periods of time.

"Outdoor exposure without proper winter clothing will be dangerous," said Matt Sitkowski, science editor-in-chief at The Weather Channel.

The excessive cold began Friday afternoon as a blizzard blanketed Iowa, bringing low temperatures and whiteout conditions that caused most campaigns to cancel events across the Hawkeye state.

Maybe Trump is still feeling the burn from losing to Cruz in Iowa back in 2016.
