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?

Cruz is giving a nice speech. Grassroots. Average donation $67

I sent Ted a donation of $50 a few weeks ago. May be time to repeat that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, blah blah, look down your nose at me. Assume you can read my mind. Et cetera, et cetera.

There are reasons that I support Trump’s run for President. And they are Conservative, pro-life, and pro-family reasons on top of that. Are you willing to hear them?

Well they are angry because they know this is likely Cruz’s one and only.

Cruz is acting like he won the Presidency

Cruz is going to have to bang his own drum because the media is busy banging theirs for Rubio. Give the man credit for what he's accomplished with a huge headwind. Let him enjoy the moment without criticism for once.

The only reason you don’t have that is Cruz amendment poison pill.

Great, I've just been asking for someone to give me an amendment number, and was it an amendment that actually passed and was added to the Gang-of-Eight bill?

And most Cruz supporters are still angry, even though they won.

Trump did AMAZINGLY great for not having any organization in Iowa and calling the voters: "stupid". The Trumpsters are many and mighty! Trump was very wise and gracious in his speech. On to NH.

Did Ted just thank the Broken Glass Conservatives?

Carson claiming Cruz foul play at caucus sites - saying cruz team told voters Carson was dropping out.

So NBC is reporting that CARSON is accusing Cruz team of foul play...?

interesting

I agree with you. While, I was hoping Cruz would win, I think Trump would have been brutalized in that debate, so the net effect of him not showing up may be zero. Trump was screwed either way.

I will be happy with either Trump or Cruz, by the way. I assume Trump wins NH and SC since his lead is so big. The real contest will be March 1.

I wasn’t talking to you and watch your language. This isn’t your foul-mouthed board, click your other favorite for that.

And you sound just like Obama, coincidence?

Need too see the post polling to see where the cross overs went. I suspect they went to Rubio. I don’t think any went to the top two but need actual results.

My wife and a buddy would have voted for Rubio no matter how hard I tried to convince them to go for trump or Cruz. Remarkedly they say the same negatives about trump and Cruz. Trump they call a vane lightweight and Cruz as untrustworthy and shady! When I mention Rubio and his gang of eight they are unmoved. I give up we are doomed but they will never vote for a dem at least.

As if Carson would have pulled more than 9% of the vote on the best of days.

OH my YOU Trumpsters just can't help yourselves with your nastiness.

I'm pretty sure I'm not a Trumpster, but I like "the wall" I like taking on the RATs/RINOs and the media as the enemy, I love taking care of the veterans and the wounded warriors, I love a mighty military, I love killing the corporate income tax and the EPA. I love ripping out ObamaCare, and reversing all the recent executive orders. I love banning and deporting the murdering rapists and illegal Mexicans.

What nastiness?

If I wanted to project nastiness, I'd call you names, like a daft gowk, or a feeble blinking calf, or a ....whatever.

But I won't do that, because I'm kind...and tolerant.
