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?

what’s bizarre to me is how well Rubio did.

>> Conservative, pro-life, and pro-family reasons on top of that. Are you willing to hear them?

I am willing to hear. I confess that, like Eva, I am curious by what reasoning a conservative minister would choose to support Trump over Cruz.

I need to go to bed now, but I’ll read and respond in the morning.

FRegards and Blessings

Ahem, GG, Trump had a strong lead in Iowa according to the polls and all you Trump people.

Didn’t work out that way, did it?

Huck will now throw in with Trump......

So will Santorum. Both have campaign debts that need to be paid off. I seem to recall some saying about choosing mammon.

One thing is for sure; Open primaries, which is similar to what Iowa has with their caucus, leaves lots of room for some clever games.

Just adding to it. There were 130 Republican votes cast for every Democrat vote. Something is very wrong.

It’s why “Rubio the Robot” always looks so terrified when he speaks, like someone behind a curtain is simultaneously threatening to take out his family and expose him as a poof.

That’s why they want him: He’s a puppet.

Oh dear... Is this true? If true, IF, it may explain some big differences between what the numbers were going in and coming out.

On the other hand, this IS MSNBC, and I don’t trust them.

Hillary lies so well.

She is going to have to campaign to the left. One of the first things she said was “I’m a progressive.”

Not progressive enough to have her actual life partner on stage with her, huh? She has strewelpeter up there instead of her beloved Huma.

Hate to break it to you, but there's only been one. And it's a state that does not have a good record for national winners.

Cruz and Trump are 1 delegate apart.

This was Cruz home turn. Evangelicals. Cruz would have done much better without Carson, Huckabee, and Santorum in the race.

It’s a three horse race now. Cruz, Trump, and Rubio. The establishment money will flow to Rubio.

"...who can describe exactly what Cruz did during the Gang-of-Eight debate that amounted to a poison pill..."

In case your link to google is busted, I *easily* found a whole bunch of web pages explaining it in varying levels of detail, simply by googling "Cruz Poison-Pill Amendment"...

I'm including just one of the many links below. But the only thing between you and googling it for yourself is "air & opportunity". Don't just take my word for it; go see for yourself.

Did Ted Cruz Actually Support Legal Status for Undocumented Immigrants?

“You have 7 days to rejoice til NH. Enjoy. :-)”

Thanks. I hope you join the Cruz Campaign for the real conservative revolution. Trump offers nothing except an ego boost... but how is that going to work with the loss? Trump loses. Join the winning team. Keep America Great!

I believe in him too, very much. Even more important, I believe that his daily walk is in the path of the LORD. He’s the real deal.
