There were no sign-in sheets for for district CR19 and CR21. Even if you were already registered to vote, you had to register again. They had the whole town at the same place downtown. It was a mad house. I went to the Trump rally earlier in the day and there were hundreds of young people there. There were almost none at the caucus site. The precinct chairs took forever to get around to voting. The guy in charge of counting votes insisted on taking them out of the room to count them, but was stopped. When they asked for a volunteer to count the votes this guy jumped out of his seat to volunteer. There was no way this guy was a Republican! He had long hair and looked like a 55 year old lisping hippy. Cruz was there and spoke for himself. Rand Paul was there and spoke. ONE guy stood up to speak for Trump and he was 80 years old. The guy that spoke for Bush started crying his vote was not counted. Ivanka was there!

They have a representative for each candidate watching the counting

THIS WHOLE DAG-GONE DARN-PATOOTIN’ THING IS RIGGED. The Republican candidate who wins is the one who CAN’T BEAT HILLARY. So, Ted Cruz it is! Oh yeah and he’s ineligible to run, too! Double-whammy that ensures a Hillary or Bernie win.

I’ve had the soundtrack to The Music Man in my head all day because of the Caucus.

I dislike the caucus system. I have seen it horribly abused to help establishment candidates here in Washington State.
As a result Washington is going primary this election cycle.
Obama gained election through mastery of caucus trickery.

If you think that the Supreme Court has the balls to invalidate Cruz's candidacy you haven't been watching the court lately.

If it were rigged I would have expected Bush to have won and Cruz last.

The one good thing about caucuses is that they are run by the parties so the parties can keep them closed.
Those who go to a primary system will most likely get a system run and paid for by the state. Then there is a good chance you will get open primaries which can be abused by both wings of the Uniparty.
Be careful what you ask for. You might just get it.

“If it were rigged I would have expected Bush to have won and Cruz last.”
Yes, if it were rigged, Cruz and Trump would have been bottom feeders.

I take it you're candidate is Trump?
You're boy just about came in 3rd. Just listened to his speech from Iowa. He is so damn disingenuous. That's why he almost came in 3rd.

Hello Pastor, how was your experience tonight?
To: Paddy Irish
I don’t think there was massive fraud in Iowa.
It’s just a strange place, politically anyways.
Congrats to Cruz and Trump.
I won’t say congrats to the overbearing bellboy :-(
I wish Bernie had beat out Hillary :-/
It’s past time for Trump to crack open the vault and start running ads against Rubio. he should AVOID striking out against Cruz as they must form a team if they are to overcome the 24/7 pro Rubio crap that the MSM will be ejecting.

Agreed, if the cheating was that effective, Trump and Cruz would be 10%. These things are run by volunteers and since it is very busy this election, parts of the process will be broken.
