Iowa Caucus Live Thread

2/1/16

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?

[RummyChick]

I am okay with that..just as long as it isn’t Rubio.

But then again, Iowa normally doesn’t pick winners so maybe they should pick Rubio

[JessieHelmsJr]

Go Cruz go!!

[datricker]

I won’t to pretend to understands how Iowa works but its 37% lets see what happens. All of us on FR can handle it. Watch things change.

Looks like the magic Cuban peeled off some votes from Trump. No surprise since he’s been flying under Trump’s radar.

You are ashamed of “the body of Christ.” OK.

[Zeneta]

Just so you know.

Cruz flip flopped after he saw how popular Trump’s position was.. no lie .. Fact

[mmichaels1970]

Can’t have a cocktail til 10:30. Keep reporting slowly.

[Company Man]

Well, 3 percent isn’t exactly crushing the competition~

[SeaHawkFan]

If Cruz wins tonight, Trump may have no path to the nomination. As candidates drop out, Cruz and Rubio will pick up their support. Very few will go to Trump. He's been an asshole to all the other candidates, and those people are not going to forget.

Gingrich won 2 states - South Carolina and his home state of Georgia, that’s it.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Apparently no one has told the dhimmi voters that Hillary is about to be indicted . . . or maybe they don’t care?

I agree - was really depressing! I grew up in Denver, so I guess I’ll have to go with Peyton and the Broncos.

I think that bottom one could become Ted’s “Dukakis in a tank” picture. Has potential.

[kjam22]

It just clicked to 41% and Cruz is hanging on to 3% lead

[11th_VA]

I agree - we need someone to ‘burn the field’ and replant in DC

[BlueDragon]

Thanks for the reply, and the correction. I’ll look into it later (eventually, probably).

I sure hope she doesn't remember my name. :)
