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?
No its not a disservice when it WINS. Even if they arent each others running mates, you can bet Trump has fantastic people . Ive heard rumors of who but thats privy.Trump is succesful which means he thinks of everything to the end. It just makes so much sense.
Succesful people breath predetermined outcomes. Thats what “Think and Grow Rich” and “Master Key” are about. Both bibles to the Don and myself by the way.
Its no time for pussy. Its for keeps and the fate of America.
Im sticking by my hunch and watching with amusement.
Sadly you might be right.
And this is supposed to be a good thing?
He won by 3,000 cretins and will not win another primary.
He is also not eligible to run for POTUS.
And IOWA IS MOST DEFINITELY FIRED.
90% of the populace.
CNN calls it for Cruz..
CRUZ! CRUZ! CRUZ! CRUZ! CRUZ! CRUZ! CRUZ!
Praise be to GOD indeed...I did have a feeling about tonight and it was always positive for Ted...
90% of the populace.
Yes Cruz wins Iowa!
Now lets all get behind a winner, we are tired of losing!
If Iowa winner wins Republican nominee they win Presidency, if not they lose.
Ted Cruz won.
You lost.
America lost, Rubio will be the nominee, Hillary will be president.
Between the big paid media buys, and the media fluffing Rubio has benefited from, it’s no big surprise that he did well in the urban areas of the state.
Cruz, Trump, and Rubio people all have to be happy with this result.
Cruz, because it was a grassroots, organizational win, slugged out through some real adversity.
Trump, because he didn’t get totally slaughtered. He can shrug his shoulders and move on to the place where he’s miles ahead in the polls.
Rubio, because he beat expectations.
[So the best thing might be for Cruz to continue strong through the primaries even if he can’t beat Trump in the end, because his second-place position could produce that “dream ticket.â€]
Good analysis. I like Cruz intellectually, Trump for his ability to bull ahead. But Cruz might still be a bit young. Trump’s SCOTUS picks might be a disaster. Trump/Cruz may be the best we can do, despite any bad blood.
Maybe Trump skipping the debate hurt, I heard that mentioned and I’d go with that.
Yeah. But Santorum and Huckabee won Iowa too.
Enjoy it now .. it’s over for Cruz .. he served his purpose ...

We need a new Romney like we need a hole in our head!
Go Cruz!
The only reaction I want to see is Trump’s.
If you are a Trumpbot, yes, go away.
CNN now projects Cruz wins Iowa.
