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?

I say Trump and Bernie win tonight, setting up a general election for the ages: The ultimate capitalist against the ultimate socialist.

However, I don't think we'll get so lucky as to face Bernie in the general. Still, I'm looking for him to give Shrillary a bruising in Iowa and NH.

I guess it's 5:15pm out in Iowa. Everybody is eating their dinner and then they will put on their coats, their hats, their mittens and head over to their caucus places. Looks like it's going to turn cold tomorrow! Got a front moving in. Yeah, you got that right.

Opuses will rain down like locusts in Egypt.

LOL! I think that's a pretty safe prediction.

Don't expect to hear anything soon.

The Caucus starts at 7:00pm central (8:00pm eastern). In 2012 some results started trickling out about 8:30pm central. So 9:30-10:00pm eastern at the earliest.

I predict no matter who wins tonight, the media is going to be gushing over Rubio.

I think your prediction is a safe bet.

But in my experience, Caucuses get to the point of having your loser candidate recognized as a loser, and throwing your support to the next best guy, and against the guy you hate most. I see that as Cruz-positive.

I say the winners will be Trump and Sanders. Establishment heads on both sides will explode.

Well, if DoughtyOne's FR Caucus is any indication, Trump's in good shape.

It isn't, and Trump may or may not be.

My prediction? 37/37, with nasty recounts, and accusations about manipulating the process. 2000 Florida revisited. The Rube at about 15,and everyone else <5.

Dims? -- Who cares!!!!!

I was encouraged by DoughtyOne’s Caucus numbers, then I remembered that a bunch of Cruz people jumped ship from FR so probably didn’t vote.

Still...

Go Trump

I think its going to be a 3 way contest between Trump/Cruz/Rubio. Would be great if somehow Ben Carson got into the mix he’s a good man a shame he isn’t doing better. I understand why(Lack of experience) but still, he has a good heart and his heart is in the right place

Trump may win, but the media will act as if Rubio did.
