Iowa Caucus Live Thread
2/1/16

Posted on 02/01/2016 3:07:17 PM PST by markomalley

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?

so very true.

If anyone other than Trump gets the nomination, all hope for America to be restored is gone. I personally won’t bother to vote for President because it would simply no longer matter.

>>That’s what scares the sh!t out of me. That means that the media was able to manipulate the vote with their Rubio push. I thought that’s where we had really changed, that the country was seeing through these media creeps but alas, I was wrong.

The media always wins. Don’t pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.

Three out of five Americans — or 60 percent — have an unfavorable view of Trump in the latest two-week average of all of the candidates running in the 2016 presidential race. The percentage is the highest of all the candidates and the highest since Gallup began asking the question in 1992.
2. Out of all the candidates, Trump polls the highest (15%) when it comes to registered republicans who refuse to vote for him in the general election if he won the nomination.
3. Out of all the candidates, Trump polls the worst (-10 points) in a head to head matchup against Hillary Clinton.
If you are truly against Hillary Clinton, you would be against her friend Donald Trump NOW!

Having heard/seen comments similar to yours, I believe it would be an atrocious sellout for either Trump or Cruz to agree to engage in that type of 'tag team..divide and conquer.' It's a massive insult to their respective supporters.

Certainly Cruz donors - especially the big money, would not be ok with their riches being spent for anything other than Ted Cruz pursuing his singular desire to be president.

If in the near future, depending on primary outcomes, Cruz and Trump come to an understanding, that will be good for us, and bad for the GOPe. But insinuating that there's a plan for a pre-destined outcome is something the Dems would do.

I don’t cry like some of you guys. What if Ted Cruz would would have lost here? Many of you would have taken your marbles and went home. I know the sun comes up the next morning win or lose.

“Remember that the GOP electorate is not Free Republic writ large.”

That really stood out for me for the first time in the 2008 primaries when the main FR candidates were Tancredo, Hunter and Fred Thompson.

Yes.

Thank you for saying that.

One would think that Free Republic would be a safe place for Free Speech. Lately, it’s been a dangerous place to even express an opinion.

There’s much more at stake this year than one’s personal preference.

Something fishy going on. Trump is winning in Evangelical strongholds and Cruz is winning in moderate districts. Makes no sense whatsover. Ricky Ricardo will get the bighead out of Iowa and get destroyed along with Cruz in NH. They can both celebrate for all of a week.

This is coming in where I predicted to my wife. She support Donald Trump and I support Ted Cruz. Either would be a great candidate.

Rubio is just this weeks stalking horse.

You seriously are of that opinion?

First off Rubio is a degenerate little twerp and Romney junior who will say or do anything to get elected.

But maybe Iowans are stupid and gullible.

IOWA IS FIRED no matter what happens.

“Never underestimate the power of the dark side. . . . .”

True.

And never forget that they will always underestimate us.

“rubio is significantly above what we all expected.”

I don’t understand what about Rubio could appeal to anyone. But, then again, I’m not insane.
