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?
Not sure how it finishes tonight. But going forward Trump has a good size lead right now. This one was suppose to be close.
RE: Then we’ll have a Cruz-Trump shootout in SC.
NH and SC mean nothing. It’s all super Tuesday.
Not a bad showing for Trump. If Cruzers want to crow about a slim lead and winning an equal number of delegates, so be it.
That’s what scares the sh!t out of me. That means that the media was able to manipulate the vote with their Rubio push. I thought that’s where we had really changed, that the country was seeing through these media creeps but alas, I was wrong.
So at the end of the day, the top three candidates get 5 delegates apiece. It’s like little league, where every player Gets a trophy.
I wonder if he'll still let Trumpy build it? Trumpy may have talked his way out of that lucrative contract...
New registrations remain to be seen. That won’t be known for a day or two.
There are places like Ankeny, Iowa, that got early evening attention, but it’s a suburb with explosive growth that was going to see lots of updated registrations anyway.
In 16 minutes the O’Malley democrat campaign says that Martin O’Malley is announcing the suspension of his campaign.
When you biggest opponent could be indicted it is best to suspend rather then outright quit no matter how remote that chance is in reality.
It is one race in a VERY evangelical state.
Let’s see what happens in NH.
It’s looks that way based upon the numbers. This is very high for Rubio.
“that was kinda my point. I didn’t say Trump supporters should leave, I said it would be quiet around FR if they did. “
Well, I’ve been a regular financial supporter of FR, but I have not made my quarterly donation yet. If FR is “someone’s exclusive province,” and
“they decide” that for some illogical reason, I am not welcome, I will go and I will take my money with me. These idiotic comments from some Freepers are disgustingly childish and counterproductive. Some of you need to have your “mommies” wash out your mouths with soap! I have NEVER seen such shameful behavior on some freepers part EVER! The idea that to some of you, “others” are “assholes” because of their preference in candidates is just DISGRACEFUL!
“Outsmarted” isn’t the word for it. Kelly threw down the gauntlet as a moderator and Trump was so afraid that he couldn’t beat a girl that he chickened out. Sure hurts his “alpha male” image.
Cruz had a 4% lead earlier, now at 3.1%.
These guys are fighters!
Lol! Thanks for a chuckle. Oh Ricky.... Oh Lucy....
“[Rubites?]
Every IOWA GOP-e was rounded up and herded to the caucuses. They didn’t have enough to put RUBIO over the top.”
On boxcars? /sarc
Is this the same certitude you had earlier when you assured us Trump would win Iowa. You're a clown.
Cruz will be a non-factor .. he is a tool of the establishment ...it will come down to Trump vs. Rubio ... who are you going to pick ?
Agree it is doubtful Trump would ever pick Cruz for VP unless forced like this but do you really think Trump would partner or listen to Cruz on anything if VP? I think Trump has proven over and over he is a one man show.
Not really. Be will end up winning by 3% in all likelihood.
.
Cruz will be pulling the whole election out.
I thought Carson would have pulled the plug, giving Cruz 40% tonight, but it will come now very soon.
