Iowa Caucus Live Thread

2/1/16

[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?

Rubio thanking God and Jesus — again. Pandering to evangelicals worse than Cruz.

[The Toll]

Not at all. Gwinnett County Ga. It use to be in America.

[SeaHawkFan]

I am not convinced Trump will carry SC, at all. It will be Cruz with Rubio a close second.

[RitaOK]

Source? CNN announced 5 each, however, six makes sense to first place.

Now on to New Hampshire!!

[Tramonto]

I think we need to band together to defeat Rubio. Trumpkins need to vote for Cruz in NH. After all Trump is tired of winning.

[Gator113]

And now Cruz will follow in the footsteps of Santorum and Huckabee.

[mylife]

Yup

[caww]

Rubio’s majorly appealing to the minorities in his speech...his choice of vocabulary will resonate well with them. He also sounds very much like he thinks he's deserved this place....Gads I don;t like the guy at all!

[MayflowerMadam]

“Even if Cruz wins, the media will give all the attention to Rubio “

Already started...

[Aleya2Fairlie]

They just can’t see that the GOP was the big winner tonight. Again.

[Baldwin77]

Senator Rubio needs a drink.

[PA Engineer]

Roughly 157,000 votes. How many for the gems?

That is what I don't understand. The gems have 1,242 now. Over 100 to 1 difference.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

Now quit Free Republic. Please.

No way! I want to see you squeal when Trump takes New Hampshire and all the other states. If the best Cruz could do in Iowa is win by just 5000 votes in a state where Saint Rick and Huckster won the last two cycles, Cruz is in trouble for the rest of the country.

[Pappy Smear]

It isn't Iowa's job to pick a winner. Iowa's job is to winnow the field. If you can't organize Iowa, you deserve to lose and go out, just like Huckabee.

Iowa vote totals:

Establishment 30%, Not establishment 70%

[Bryanw92]

>>SHUT UP, RUBIO ! You did not win.

He’ll give a speech like he won tonight. By tomorrow, the well-edited sound bites will be in place and by Wednesday, the media will be reporting that he “won big, even though he didn’t get the most votes”.

[annieokie]

calling them Stupid was not a good idea either.

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

You know I can’t figure why anyone would vote for him, just because of that. After all we have seen to even chance it, not me!

[higgmeister]

Roberts had a pristine record and everyone was floored by his obamacare ruling especially Freepers.

We were not allowed to vet him. Ted Cruz did. And you still trust him to do the same thing again. You know his wife was a member of the CFR. Coincidence? I think not.

[Carry me back]

Rubio will get about 10% if that in NH.

[Bobalu]

Yup, CA is a lost land.... just break it off and sail it out into the Pacific...lol
