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?

No, the Cruzers told us they would all switch back to Dem by Nov.

Actually Trump had a good night for a first timer. He should come out and congratulate Ted and say he is pleased

YES!

It is VERY important for Trump to be a GOOD LOSER! We get to see how he handles a tough break.... I hope he passes this test. He will need the Support of the Cruz people since I still give him the best chance at the nomination. He MUST treat Cruz with the respect due an EQUAL..IMO

Trump and Cruz will have to join together to keep Rubio from advancing... all the wrong people will be pushing Rubio 24/7 now. :-(

I would be fun if Bernie squeaks past Hillary...lol

>> By how many holy roller retarded did he win?

I confess, I am one of those fools for JESUS that you speak disparagingly of — and I’m not the least ashamed to say so. (Whose fool are you?)

Lord GOD, I give You all PRAISE and HONOR and GLORY for answering our prayers and sending Your blessings on Ted Cruz tonight! Continue to grant wisdom and eloquence and favor to Your child Ted Cruz in the days to come, and to we the people of America, that this country, founded upon YOUR principles, may again walk in Your way. In JESUS name! Amen.

“And if Trump doesn’t win New Hampshire, it could all go downhill real fast for him, it’s a must win for him now.”

He will. Rubio has the momentum now, so he’ll be second. The spread is what’s critical now.

How many people in NH are going to vote for a guy that came in second? They have an image to uphold of “predicting” the winner. Silly, but that is how it works.

HUH? NH doesn't go along with Iowa. What an odd comment. At least gloat honestly lol

I think your math is off.

Ted should be tracking for 8 delegates.

Trump is at 7.

Rubio is on 6.9, and I don’t how they work rounding, but he probably gets 7.

Ben should get 3.

30 gop delegates, each one tallies at 3.33 percent.

66% of Iowa definitely believe in God and in NH it is 43%. Iowa has 9% non believers, NH has 16%.

Fox is showing Rubio’s speech. Where’s Cruz’s?

True, Bush won the 1980 Iowa vote and we all know what happened with Reagan. History repeating itself?

In our Party it will be Trump/ Cruz, Trump/Rubio or Cruz/Rubio.

In retrospect I think he did quite well. A rich east coast businessman never in politics before comes in second in evangelical farmer country. Iowa is no good at picking national winners. He will learn from this and he will do better in other primaries. He will win NH. Interestingly in Iowa they said lots of democrats changing registration and voting. I do think that a lot of those votes went for Trump. That is anecdotal but I have seen so many posts on facebook along those lines.

Take it from me, it will never happen against a Democrat, any Democrat, even Bolshevik Bernie..

California is beyond redemption and just to be clear I'm a Cruz first, Trump second kind of guy.

Huck will now run to endorse the candidate of his choice so he can continue to have “face time”....after a few interviews with the media.
