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?
I call shenanigans on Rubio. They need to look at the numbers and see if a lot of Dems crossed over to vote for him.
I’ll qualify that, Trump is down by 3500 votes, not ALL Iowans are retarded.
No matter what happens tonight, this will be the LAST time a bunch of 91% WHITE holy roller simpletons get to set the tone for who runs the USA.
IOWA IS FIRED.
I understand this years ROMNEY named MARCO RUBIO has 20% these GOOBERS all discombobulated.
This campaign needs some entertainment to spice things up.
Rubio voters must be some of those undecided until the last minute OR they are coming from other establishment voters who are going with their “can win†candidate. Bush, Kasich, Christie...together total next to nothing. Their voters have switched to Rubio — just my guess.

I think Rubio came across as the adult in the room compared to the constant Beavis and Butthead act that Trump-Cruz had become.
I disagree. Rubio had a really good debate. That is what helped him.
We’ll see. But if Cruz wins Iowa, he better savor it, because he won’t be winning again anytime soon.
I think Rubio, Christie, Bush and Kasich votes all total represent the establishment vote. That’s all the pull they have in Iowa. It will be tougher elsewhere.
No change in the Democrat number in almost 20 minutes. Something fishy is going on.
It’d be really goofy if Cruz loses based on Carson getting 10%, because Carson is an also-ran and most of his votes would go to Cruz. Trump would be hard-pressed to get over 50% in this state in any one on one race. He’d probably even lose to Jeb.
>> There are plenty of Christians that are not happy with Cruz and his Awaken the Body of Christ and go vote speech
...and I know quite a few Christians who strongly believe that the Body of CHRIST does, in fact, need to wake up, get off their teevee watching rear ends, and vote.
I don’t really understand why that is a bad thing. The biggest problem in this country right now is the character of the electorate. There is NOTHING wrong with AMerica that a God-fearing electorate couldn’t fix in one or two election cycles.
Nobody has won the GOP nomination without finishing in the Top 2 in NH.
I’ll take those results any day! And I’ll even raise a toast to Ted for his showing - but Rubio can kiss mah gritts!
Just a thought - last debate Rubio won - 2nd highest watched debate - people made their minds up late
CNN reporting that Rubio pulling votes from Trump. Looks like Trump couldn’t make the sale. Him not showing up at the debate did hurt him, no denying it.
I agree with you 100%... My concern is that the bait and switch is on. Cruz winning was step one. Rubio strong in NH is step 2. SC now will be a fight.
Here is where I differ from most Trumpsters on FR. I think Cruz can barely beat Cankles in the general, but unlike Trump, I think he would be helpless in office-—isolated, boxed in by his own narrow view of what is constitutional.
Yet, so many don’t see this. It’s depressing.
Cruz’s eggs, I believe, have always been even more in the South/”SEC Primary” than in Iowa. He’s building a fearsome organization there as well.

It only matters to the guy who has spent 6 months telling everyone that he was leading in every poll...
Bingo!
I think this is a better reporting site for our members:

You can see a lot of key data.
I think it is significant that Cruz won Polk county so convincingly.
27-22.
