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?

That Scripture is referring to the nation of Israel, not the Body of Christ. And I am one of those members of Christ’s Body, who didn’t like Cruz, using spiritual terminology to get votes.

You are a genius. If we, Trump supporters leave, Free Republic collapses.

that was kinda my point. I didn't say Trump supporters should leave, I said it would be quiet around FR if they did.

In terms of the delegate math, Iowa is minuscule.

It’s all about the narrative, and Cruz would have been crippled tonight is he did not win. The MSM still has power, and would have been able to convince Republicans to discard him if he lost tonight.

At one time Cruz led by 4 percentage points.

I will take New York honesty over Iowa insincerity any day of the week.

[catfish1957]

Dang.... This can’t be!!!!!! Cruz’ campaign bus was struck in the mud. LMAO

[kjam22]

He will. I’d bet the house on it....

[jwalsh07]

Wow! That would be great! The more the better! Means lots of newly registered R’s for November!

[Neu Pragmatist]

Yep .. the new line is that Rubio is taking votes from Trump and the Cruz-bots are falling hook, line, and sinker

[demshateGod]

I was out when JimRob did his ridiculous zots. I too will never vote for a liberal. Therefore I will never vote for Trump. Zot me. I don't want to be a part of a liberal website.

Right, how many sermons can Cruz preach in NH or SC?

[Rome2000]

Iowa isnt a winner take all state.

With 60% in, both Cruz and Trump have 5 delegates.

So it doesnt matter if either one of them win by a few points. Its the delegate count that matters.

Exactly

[mtrott]

They are just stating the obvious. How is that “pushing Cruz”?

[mylife]

Buh Bye...

[Jet Jaguar]

He’s out?

[ifinnegan]

“Not good if Rubio comes in second. Then the GOPe will put its full weight against Cruz. Rubio is the GOPe candidate. Tim Scott will supposedly endorse Rubio.”

Rubio/Scott ticket?

[Red in Blue PA]

Not mine.

Cruz speaks for me.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yes everyone will come back down to earth on Feb 9th.

[JerseyDvl]

This will be Cruz’s only win and his Huckabee/Santorum moment.

[caww]

Trumps ego doesn’t handle loosing well at all so he’ll nurse his wounds behind closed doors....I think he’ll end up telling everyone why he should be seen as the winner anyway. Again just to shore up his ego.
