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?
What a fool. He let his ego get the best of him.
Trump should roll in NH. It will be interesting to see if Rubio rises big time in the aftermath of a strong finish here. May be the swan song for Kasich and Bush on day 1, mercifully. Strategically not good, though. The divided GOPe through FL was important to let Trump or Cruz get undeniable momentum.
Unfortunately, the Trump/Cruz spat is doing neither favors in the long term as someone viable was able to sneak up on both. Trump should have let Cruz win Iowa, get a strong second and then roll over Cruz in the next few states. The game may have changed drastically if Cruz wins, and especially if Trump fall to third or gets close to it. I felt all along that his ‘Cruz is nasty and an anchor baby’ attacks were ill-advised. He is now on an island, and if Cruz falters later, which is likely, those voters will migrate elsewhere.
Cruz’s lead narrowing now, back to 3%. The 25% of precincts not yet reporting are probably some of the larger ones which had overflow participation.
Trump will be “THE COME BACK KID!!!”
She IS above the law...or, at least she believes she is. And there are a lot of people out there who agree with her.
The Clinton Crime Syndicate moves on.
Iowa GOP vote reporting website crashes...

yeay go establishment! Trump losing means America is losing . God help us if its the midget versus the witch
I will always vote for the most conservative person on the ballot.
I agree
CLINTON LIES MATTER! BENGHAZI MATTERS! DEMOCRAT CORRUPT LIVES DON’T MATTER BECAUSE THEY LIE!
“Rubio took some of Trumps votes...5-7% of it.”
I don’t believe that for a minute. I know a talking head mentioned it, but it’s not logical.
you don’t know your Bible.
Of course it was misreported that Romney won and he got the victory speech and press accolades. After it was determined Santorum, in fact, won...it was basically “oh yeah, it turns out Santorum won.” Had this been the story on election night, he may have gotten some momentum out of it - but essentially he lost.
I’ll admit Rubio is going to look good. Might take NH with Cruz as #2.
Then Ted takes the south.
I'm a Cruzer, but you are correct, rubio is significantly above what we all expected. I think the big relief tonight for Cruzers like me is that the more annoying Trump folk around here have to stop crowing for a few hours.
I wonder if Bernie will be easy to beat in the general.
This morning Trumps first meeting had just half the people filling the place....he was disappointed but spoke for 35 minutes anyway....For Trump to stand in an audience of just half was something for him to even remain there....though he “kiddingly” said he’d be pulling out real soon...and he did.
What an embarrassment this must be for Shrillary. She can't even soundly beat a washed-up admitted socialist in Iowa and it looks like she's headed for a real thrashing in NH.
.
NH will be Cruz - Rubio too.
>> As a Cruz supporter I’m neither giddy nor upset because it’s a long road to Cleveland.
Wow. Sanity.
+1
(...and keep praying...)
