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?
No surprise to me that Rubio had some support. There still had to be some GOPe voters, and he’s the one in the barrel right now.
The surprise to me is that the most conservative guy in the race is probably going to win, and the most outspoken candidate about restoring America’s greatness is number 2. Over the rest of the remaining field, I think I would PREFER Rubio.
So, not a bad judgment on the part of Iowa tonight, it looks like. I had still kind of hoped to see Trump steamroller it, but oh well.
Oh I understand ... if you want open-borders and more endless wars, Cruz is your man ...
Fox has been pushing Rubio practically non stop. Guess it worked. Hopefully New Hampshire will be smarter than that.

I agree.
But here’s the good news.
Iowa isn’t a ‘winner take all’ state.
With 60% in, both Cruz and Trump have 5 delegates.
So it doesn’t matter if either one of them win by a few points. It’s the delegate count that matters.
They’re tied.
And Yeb! gets none!
CSPAN 59% of Precincts reporting 8 PM CST
Cruz 29617 28.4% Trump 26111 25.1% Rubio 22465 21.6% Carson 10115 9.7% Bush 2911 2.8%
After he skipped the debate he lost Iowa, fired his campaign manager and then won. Interesting to see if Trump fires his campaign manager.
This is YUGGGE!
Agreed.
Congrats FRiend.
Cruz will never be in office, never. This is the establishment dream that they can get one of theirs close enough to cheat, lie, whatever else. You're looking at President Rubio and nothing has changed for us.
Unless Trump can still pull it out. He'll be fighting the world but then that's not new to him.
May this catch fire across our country... as a mighty tide sweeping our country to get back to conservative principles!!!!!!
LOL! :-)
So the polls were right. Iowa is a tie and both candidates will walk away with the same number of delegates.
.
By the time the count is done it will be Cruz in front, Rubio in second, and Trump getting the consolation prize.
I’ve been trying to figure that difference out, as well. Please ping me if you get the answer. Thanks.
Have fun with the Cruz win, those that are happy about it.
Trouble is ahead if you ask me.
I congratulate the people who stand with Cruz on principle, I did too at one point, and just can’t anymore.
Your updates are much appreciated.
Cruz is to Hillary what ‘John McCain’ was to Oblama. EASY TO BEAT
There have always been only three tickets to New Hampshire.
Nothing’s changed.
It’s Cruz, Trump, and Rubio.
The media is going to make this all about Rubio.
Count on it.
Lol I understand.
I know just enough Spanish to get slapped in Juarez
