Iowa Caucus Live Thread
2/1/16

Posted on 02/01/2016 3:07:17 PM PST by markomalley

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?

There’s only one way to Heaven and it’s through Jesus!

Accept Jesus or else face eternal damnation and lakes of fire.

Amen and Shalom.

Kelly just doubled down on “no telepromter” and then...”maybe notes but no teleprompter”.

BS, I saw Rubio looking side to side and then down. Classic debate class. If not teleprompters (parse) it was something he was reading.

This has been argued a million times, and I'm not inclined to do so again. I remember the debate very well, and it was clearly understood at the time that Cruz was with the hardliners trying to kill it. Sessions and the rest all back him up on that.

Believe it or not - I really don't care.

I think you are right about Trump supporters. They allowed themselves to become invested in this man heart and soul.

He became their idol, their leader, their father figure and their savior.

Trump is quite enthusiastic about winning this race, of course, it’s his next Big Deal.

But he has other Big Deals to go on to. It’s gonna take a while for the more avid Trump supporters here to get over it if he loses.

Because it seems to me he had said awhile back that if he didn’t win Iowa he would be re thinking regarding his campaign run.....which is why I wanted to know if he said “meet you in NH” or any indication of that nature.....

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.

I agree he was in a bad position but the reason he has such fanatical followers that have no clue what he stands for or just plain do not care when he comes out with a democrat position is because he stood up to every single attack and gave it right back to them. He came across as the bullied brave person standing up and fighting the MSM and the GOPe. Instead in the last week he came across as a child instead of their hero of the moment and he lost his momentum where he did not have to give any real positions.

He has come out with more jaw dropping position comments in the last few day that are flat out scary if you are a real Republican picking someone to vote for now that we are not focusing on his comebacks and that has been horrible for him.

He was a cult of personality not a candidate standing on positions. He let that popular part stand down.

On the bright side, the extremely high turnout means lots of Iowa voters increased their “shaming score” from an F to a C

Badabing.

Carson might not endorse Cruz if this is true:

sHitlery and Bernie are both immense dangers to our way of life.

Stopping them is definitely job one.

It's worth noting that the last poll posted in the breaking news sidebar was this one....

Donald Trump Holds Iowa Lead, Ted Cruz Fades (Trump 31, Cruz 24)

I’m a Trump fan here and already over it!

It’s Iowa.

Cruz 8
Trump 7

On to New Hampshire and South Carolina where Trump has big leads.

I thought Carson would endorse Cruz, but not sure if this is true:

And Rubio has an ad where he’s saying all these things he’s going to do and everyday Americans are stopping, looking up at TV and nodding whatever.

Looks to be pretty effective for low info voters.

Rubio is definitely who we need to keep in out cross hairs.

Fox is replacing CNN as the shameless network

Trump will be working overtime to get Carson in his fold along with Huckabee and Santorum, who may already be there. He knows after tonight that even their few percentage points can make the difference in quite a few states.
