Marco Rubio emerges as champion of battered Republican party http://reut.rs/1SAq0xv
Yes, Rubio's fans, and the permanent GOP establishment (but I repeat myself), are just sort of ignoring the winner, Ted Cruz, and the second place finisher, Trump, and declaring Rubio won.
They'll keep on saying it. They always throw some caveat around Cruz's win, which was apparently tainted by the fact that he worked really hard at it, and out-organized everyone else.
So they just sort of blow that off. Rubio didn't even try, and he got third. Marcomentum!
Meanwhile, this happened during Hillary's speech:

The last report is that the Democratic Party is asking 90 Iowa precincts to "recreate" their polling sites because they were not properly staffed. I don't know what that means, either. I don't know if they mean they want people to come in and re-caucus, or just turn over their records.
But 90 precincts, I guess, could change the vote, which currently stands at Hillary 49.8%, Sanders 49.6%.
She won one delegate by a coin flip.
Zincfinger says she won six delegates by coin-toss:
According to Barone, HRC won 6 delegates by coin-flip, going 6/6 on six separate coin-tosses. A 1/64 probability occurrence. Amazing!
I'm not saying she's cheating but also I'm saying that.
The RNC owes The Cheap Labor Express an amnesty candidate.
They wanted Yeb!, but they’ll settle for Young Yeb!
Designated Loser
I will not vote for national suicide
Have to do that without my vote
We don’t need no stinking rubio. Give us liberty or give us a shot at the enemy.
How many Iowa delegates were up for the democrats?
I thought the coin won 6,
Bernie won 24,
and HIllary won 24 ... but I can’t find that confirmed.
There is only one anti-amnesty candidate. Looked at little donnie’s website? He is only deporting the criminal illegals now. Bait and switch. His supporters don’t care.
And I will not vote for a non-natural born citizen so you can do that without my vote.
Number three is the new number one. (Common Core math?)
LOL! That is for sure.
This crap about a surprise upset is patent BS. Turns out Rubio sank more into Iowa than Trump and Cruz combined.
Congratulations to Ted Cruz! We have a solid good group of people running, now if all those with less % than Dr. Carson would bow out gracefully, we can move to the next level in the primary....
Sank more what? Money?
Yes. He outspent both first and second placers combined.
They should have left you zotted after your epic flameout Saturday, 867 post zot thread, must be a record

Those freaking asses posted the Heidi thread again and did not pull it. I posted trumpee thread, they have marked it opus -and revoked me like a care. Low rent, classless protector of all IDIOT DT and posting garbage about Heidi. FR is UTTERLY DISGUSTING JUST LIKE THEIR FREAKING ASININE WORLD CLASS WHINY BABY, JERK, LOWEST CLASS, MOST DEVIANT, BRAGGART, SOB sorry.
Still really really ticked.
This whole coin thing is, I think, a distraction.
3 coins flipped
6 coins flipped
1 coin flipped
1 delegate or 6 delegates per flip ?
Recreate the vote ?
Isn’t that like letting kids sit at home and phone in their grades ?
That makes Cruz look even smarter, doesn’t it?
Yes, and Rubio’s great showing a little less great.
Have you ever noticed that posters who get overly emotional on these threads show a certain lack of grammar and spelling skills ? Sometimes I can see attributing it to hunt and peck on a smartphone, but I don’t think that’s the case.
Before someone attacks me for picking on Libbylu, I have noticed this behavior on both sides, and not just now, or on just political threads.
It’s just a part of the bell curve of human behavior and education.
The lower down the scale of votes, the more each candidate spent.
Bush spent the most.
Every 4 years I lament the “momentum” nonsense in the media whereby they try to act as if some candidate was destined for it.
We need all primaries to happen on the same day, just like the elections.
