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!

Sorry, but all the young’uns for Trump just wanted to hang with a celebrity.

[HereInTheHeartland]

They have a representative for each candidate watching the counting

[dynoman]

That sounds pretty messed up.

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.

Hey Paddy I am here in Cedar Rapids too.

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.

Dude, let me tell you about my experience caucusing in Dubuque County. I am in Dubuque Precinct 31. About a mile down the road is a middle school, also in a precinct 31, that serves as a caucus site. But it is not the caucus site for precinct 31. No precinct 31 has to travel 20 minutes out of town, through freezing fog to Peosta. I had to park a good mile or more away from the location. I was in line for 45 minutes outside in the freaking cold.

The Republican Party sucks soooo hard! Seriously, when they passed an envelope for donations I damn near spit in it. The whole caucus was a cluster with people handing out stacks of scrap paper with no controls. The Republican party can't run a caucus, its no wonder they continually fail to beat Democrats. And the Iowa caucus isn't even a caucus like the dems have. It is a poorly run primary that uses scrap paper instead of voting machines.

The Republican party sucks. Glad Cruz and Trump finished well. But the Republican Party sucks.

I knew early on that Trump would lose. They announced on FBN that there were lines of traffic backed up trying to get to the venue. They also stated that they were running out of ballots and registration cards and this was at the start of the caucus. Come on, really? They said that they were not expecting such a heavy turnout. After the size of Trump’s rallys? Again, really? Add to that, Rubio’s big donor was Microsoft who counted the ballots.
