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?
“Cruz is a career politician and Trump is a newcomer to the political game. “
And trump was going to go toe-to-toe against Putins and the Ayatollahs?
HA HA HA
Aaaaw, poor guy then needs to go back and learn before he tries against the big boys.
Thank you for your graciousness....
“Was it turn out or vote switching?”
That’s what I was wondering.
In order to keep peace of mind, I’ve only skimmed Iowa articles the last few weeks. Was it possible for Dem voters to vote for Rubio tonight? Pardon my ignorance, everyone, guess I could google it.
Trump gracious in defeat says “I’m honored” and congratulating Cruz
It doesn't break my heart that Trump didn't win here, never was really expected to, but it kills me that the establishment got one of their filthy, decaying feet in the door.
Trump is class
Trump hurt Trump with not going to the debates and his birther and other attacks on Cruz. He also did great damage to Cruz and gave the establishment everything they wanted a strong jumping point for their rino. Money will flow tomorrow....to Rubio.
Sorry, I don’t have access to cable, have only watched snippets on OAN tonight, through the Roku; and didn’t see it.

Cruz with an understandably great speech.
I am surprised at Rubio’s showing.
Yeah, that really doesn’t make sense 1250 votes on Dim side. I would figure that many bums would walk in to vote just for the heater being turned on.
The other thing Cruz supporters should be saying right now:
BEN CARSON. There’s 9% of the vote that likely would have gone to Cruz as they appeal to overlapping demographics (evangelical, cultural conservatives).
And you can add Huckabee as well.
The large number of candidates are clouding the field.
>> I voted for him 3 times to CRUSH Dewhurst
Not in the same election, though. :-)
(I feel obliged to point that out to our fellow FReepers.)
It was a concession speech not an inaugural address.
Or is the claim that amendments were introduced and defeated, and they amounted to a poison pill?
Odd, no one can explain what Cruz did that amounted to a poison pill, and that article doesn't explain it.
Its going to be very interesting.
There’s already a Microsoft Rubio conspiracy theory on the net.
Rubio just because the go to establishment / Romney supporter guy.
I have nothing but congrats for Cruz but this is only one state and Cruz is acting like he won the Presidency. I think he is focusing too much of victory. There is much battle ahead.
Rove said there would be surprises tonight ... Rubio mysteriously peeled Trump’s lead away , by the same vote margin ... open-borders Microsoft counting votes
Hillary 50% Bernie 49.3 Both have 21 delegates don’t ask me
Trump was screwed either way with that debate. You know Megyn had tapes to attack him with and three ‘guests’ a Muslim, illegal, and Bernie supporter. Not to mention Fox tried to embarrass him with their press release.
He had zero choice.
