Iowa Caucus Live Thread

2/1/16

[markomalley]

A search shows that nobody's opened up a live thread for tonight's caucuses. So here goes.

Predictions? For both the GOP and Dem nominations?

Eyewitness Accounts? See any funny business going on?

I figured out what you meant.

Lets count all the votes first ok?

I’ll wager there’s a big suburb or two not reporting...

[WTFOVR]

Keep calm ... This is only the beginning. A long way to go before we sleep!

Cruz won in Boone county Des Moines area

[JediJones]

Cruz was very aware of the Rubio surge because he continued to target Rubio with ads through this weekend.

Definitely true that the Trump/Cruz food fight allowed Rubio to step over their bloodied bodies closer to the finish line. But Cruz was smart enough to hold him back with some negative ads in the final round. Trump seems to have forgotten about Rubio unwisely.

They are IOWANS.

They buy snake oil.

I know Democrats, they have No idea who Cruz is.

“White holy roller simpletons”?

Lol.

[jsdjason]

A lot of delusional Trumpkins on FR.

[BCrago66]

Why do individuals who are challenged in various ways think that a big font and the color red makes their argument stronger?

In any case, the polls consistently show Trump as the only major Republican candidate who loses to Hilary.

[Cats Pajamas]

Cspan just said Cruz won Boone caucuses

[Theophilus]

Rubio is at best Obama light.

Absurd.

[Uncle Miltie]

Where did all these gope sleepers come from tonight?

[Jane Long]

Strange about Rubio’s sudden surge, too, isn’t it?

[JediJones]

If Trump does come in second we will get a chance to see what kind of “loser” he is (if you can call 2nd losing).

I'm sure the Trumpsters would call it losing if Cruz came in 2nd.

[Cowman]

this thread will liven up REAL FAST.

What if Rubio comes up about three more points and matches Trump?
