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?

Free Republic goes back to being a site for conservatives, not full of shit Donald Chump whiners.”

So, tell me please. Are you one of the Cruz supporters with deep piety, or one of the ones who applauds deep and penetrating intellects?

I’m just a normal white guy that only supports conservatives. Arrogant, pompous democrats like Obama and Trump need not apply.

I will take Iowa values over New York values any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

This is Cruz’s last hoorah. Enjoy it, because this is it...

Let’s don’t get delusional. Trump is turning in a strong second in an outlier state. He leads nationally by a wide margin. He’s not going to be dropping out. :-)

Steve Deace is a precinct captain. Look what he said. The infrastructure couldn’t handle the turnout and people went home. Might’ve been Trumpsters who never did this before and were unhappy with the quality of the process.
