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?

My attitude about Trump vs Cruz, may the best man win, flaws and all, both are still head and shoulders above the others.

I agree with you there. I'm a Trump supporter because I think he can win and can use the bully pulpit more effectively. After all, the Cruz supporters on here say he's a bully, anyway. We need a bully.

"...Everybody is eating their dinner and then they will put on their coats, their hats, their mittens and head over to their caucus places..."

Don't forget bibles and prayerbooks. If you've been listening to any of the news channels during the last week you probably now think that everyone in the Midwest goes nowhere and does nothing without their trusty bible or prayerbook.

We are fairly close

“I was told that the Cruz people planned to arrive early, then lock the Trump people out.’

Totally ridiculous...how does one identify a Trump supporter.

And I am showing MASSIVE restraint not answering my own question.

Here’s a musical interlude before the mud starts to fly...

>> Some of the nasty ones will go AWOL if Trump wins.

What do you predict will happen when Cruz wins? Same thing? ;-)

[MayflowerMadam]

HA!

[fatima]

I can't take the suspense.

Let the Hawkeye Caucai commence... Hoping for final results before bedtime.

Will accurate counts come out tonight, or will it take weeks like it did for Sanatorium? I heard they changed the way they did things, but I didn't hear how or when the absolute final results will be published.

. From your kb to God's ears!

That's not the way it works. Won't happen. .

The big question is will banning numbers surpass those of the previous election cycle?

I dunno. The infamous Bug Zapper thread set the bar pretty high. I've laid in some beer for the evening and have a large crying towel handy in case anything starts pouring out of the monitor.

Wins for Bernie and Donald could propel both going into NH. Wins there could definitely energize Trump going into SC.

That they knock out Hillary and Jeb is icing on the cake and a likely end to two potential(ly hazardous) dynasties.
