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?
Huckabee out? YES!!
May Maurice Clemmons hang like a curse around him from now till the last tick of eternity.
Naw we want Clinton.
She is so farking weak and folks just hate her
Trump underestimated Rubio and it bit him in the you know what.
Bait and switch baby. GOPe turning cartwheels cuz they think they can replace the “extreme” Cruz with the “nicer” Rubio.
An honest answer for sure
Just what we’ve come to expect
Agreed. That is the info coming through tonight. Our Constitution lost again. I have no problem with Ted Cruz winning. (As I write this, Wolfie Blitzed calls him the winner.) congrats to him and his supporters.
But I am VERY AFRAID about Rubio and his media / cabal support.
I’m happy for the Cruzers but if they think Cruz is going to win the nomination much less the general they are in for a major letdown. The majority in this country will never vote for the likes of Ted Cruz. No way. No how.
This ain’t America anymore, folks.
Cruz is declared a winner with 99% in:
I’m a Cruz supporter, my wife supports Trump (because she doesn’t think he can win the general election). I’m a little surprised at the animosity between the two camps here on FR: What about the eleventh commandment by Reagan: Thou shall not attack thy fellow Republican? Sure, the establishment Republicans are bums (Jeb & co) but both Cruz and Trump are hated by the media and the establishment: how can anyone criticize that?

Under democrat caucus rules a dead person can win, so yes Bernie could have more delegates from the evenings dance.
Fox declares that missing THEIR debate was why Trump lost.
NH is important because it will get the field down to 3-4. Once that happens, SC is in play and Trump’s values are not South Carolina values. I expect Cruz to easily win the next debate when there are fewer participants. When it gets down to three, Cruz will be the obvious winner in every debate.
I’m not too upset with this result. As long as Rubio is locked out and the two best candidates came in one-two, that’s good.
On the other hand, I will be very upset with certain exceptionally insufferable people on FR for the next 8 days.
“It only matters to the guy who has spent 6 months telling everyone that he was leading in every poll...”
That.
Come on Bernie!!!
.
Cruz always slams into the enemy head on.
That is why the world needs Cruz in the Oval Office.
I am SO HAPPY tonight MEG.
Most of the zots were not because of support for one candidate or another, they were for the way those people conducted themselves here. These were some really nasty people, and the place is better off without them.
Anyway, congratulations to Mr. Cruz!
Bump (as if this thread needs to be longer)
Huck will now throw in with Trump......
Huckabee suspending campaign tonight. I think this will break for Cruz as well. I’ve always thought Huckabee’s sole purpose was to depress Cruz’ vote.
FLASH: Hillary now just .5% lead on Commie Sanders.
