I think DOJ will have to take Hillary down or there will be a backlash that also destroys her megolamaniac political ambitions. Sabders is a joke and will never get but half the ‘Rat vote.

The GOP is interesting. I like Cruz, but could vote for any of the Republicans over the ‘Rats. Looks like it is between Cruz, Trump and Rubio.

She already wrecked a Trump thread below. That gal’$ drinkin’ rocket fuel.

The dirty tricks being played by the Cruz team are completely consistent with the creepy feeling he gives a lot of people. I do not think that it is going to work well for him in the long run. The media don’t like him and when they get wind of his sleaze campaign it will be reported. Stuff that wouldn’t stick to the Clintons will drag Mr. Pure down.

It looks like a lot of Trump supporters are severely disappointed by the outcome of the Iowa Caucus tonight. It looks like a lot of people were fair weather supporters. That is not the way a campaign like this is won.

Is Iowa just weird or were all of our predictions for last month mistaken?

I was flibberjibbeted by Rubio’s showing. Maybe it’s because they use a lot of illegals in meatpacking plants. Maybe they don’t particularly care for Trump or Cruz.
But like a lot of us I was hoping the Beatle-booted, toupee’d cabana boy would be going home.
There was something screwy going on.
In any event, Thanks Iowa GOP!

Even though I was dissapointed in Trump’s 2nd place finish last night, I was actually glad to see Cruz’s numbers go up in the FR caucus. Many Cruz people celebrated here last night, so one way they expressed themselves was by voting in the caucus. It’s been a disappointment to see his declining numbers here leading up to Iowa.

I am reposting the links table because I’ve found that one link (voting thread for 1/25) is incorrect, and I want a good table for the sake of what I’m doing from now on.

To save space, I plan on posting two tables daily, starting next time: the first table will serve for the latest 15 days, and the second table will link back to earlier tables for older links.

I know the FR Caucus is barely being mentioned on the FR Caucus Open Discussion Thread, but . . .

Pataki, Graham, Huckabee, Paul, and Santorum have dropped out of the race, and the tables, polls, charts, and graphs would be easier to read with those five names removed. Should DoughtyOne drop Pataki, Graham, Huckabee, Paul, and Santorum from the list?

And then there were nine: Bush, Carson, Christie, Cruz, Fiorina, Gilmore, Kasich, Rubio, and Trump (TEN if you count, the ever-popular “Vote No”).

More generally, Fiorina is saying that she should be on the main stage. Any thoughts on that? Should it be all nine, now that they fit, or where should the line be drawn? I’d like to see them split with the top five on the main stage, which leaves Carly out, and the other four getting a separate debate. I’d also like to see them all get fair questions (rather than tailored and targeted questions based on the equivalent of opposition research), with opportunities to respond to each other whether or not their names are mentioned, and equal time enforced by cutting off their microphones.
