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?
He knew who I wanted to win but I asked for His will to be done.
Good question.
If he can win the Repub nomination, our nominee will win 40+ states in November and probably control both houses of Congress. The Tea Party, the evangelicals and the hard cord conservatives will see their dream candidate go down in flames and it will be spectacular.
Why are you allowed to post here?
No Trump hurt Trump, with his silly attacks on Cruz. Everyone could see there was no percentage in it, but he did it anyway. Now NH is all Trump has because if Cruz doesn't win SC, Rubio will.
I have been here a long time. The Rudi fights, Schiavo, etc. we are a passionate group, but I have never seen anything like the Trumps on this board. We knew his history with the Clintons, his stance on guns, and his donations to Harry freaking Reid(and the excuses made for all of these things). Yet, folks were attacking people here for not jumping on the Trump bandwagon. Others are saying Rubio voters cost trump Iowa, still others say Iowa was no big deal. *shakes head* All we ever hear about is the next real conservative, and he is here! And it's Cruz. Now is the perfect time to coalesce around a true conservative and take back the White House, but we won't, we will sit and fight eachother over Trump, allowing him (A Clinton donor)to siphon off votes from Ted, propelling Rubio the nomination, giving us another Romney. Attack me all you want, I'm not voting for Trump. I'm not going down the establishment road again..
You are not trying to be mean? So then it’s just easy for you?
Try being a gracious loser.
Carson is out of the race in reality - he has been on a downward trend for some time so not sure how it’s a dirty trick if true. Plenty of folks here on FR have said the same thing - it’s no different than saying water is wet or the sky is blue.
Sorry, no malice in my observation, but politics does silly things. Carson is done and I don’t think anything Cruz enthusiasts said today did anything to change that.
Good question!
Troll alert!
But Cruz just won.....?
Steve King can’t stop crying he’s so happy.
We don’t know God’s will but He shapes us through experiences. Maybe Trump’s learned valuable lessons for his campaign that will help him win the nomination.
Great speech? The man loves the microphone.
I don't know many FReepers who like the idea of Rubio as the nominee, He is the insider GOPe candidate.
Carson is out of the race but he has a BIG card to play:
His endorsement.
If he thinks Cruz did the dirty tricks suggested earlier, he might endorse Trump. Don’t see him supporting Rubio, but he might if the establishment co-opts him.
Weren’t you the one making fun of Cruz because he was talking to rooms of 20 people while Trump was holding rallies for thousands? Maybe you don’t know as much as you think you know.
I’ll walk precincts for Trump if he’s the nominee and will do everything I can to get him elected.
Will you do the same for Cruz if he wins, or are you just a bag of hot air?
You don’t understand.
Trump and Cruz are a “one-two punch”.
All the increased voter turnout was directly attributed to Trump and all your hard work.
And they voted for Cruz.
Keep up the good work.
Americans, mostly the Dems, have been slaughtering their own unborn children for 43 years. Now they know they need the workers/consumers/voters/breeders. The illegal invasion is an existential threat. I think even Rubio must be coming to that realization.
I hope every FReeper of child rearing age considers having/adopting more children. Our fantastic new KY Governor, Matt Bevin (who primaried McConnell) has nine!

But our $19 Trillion national debt scares the heck out of me and I don't trust career politicians with cutting big government. And I don't like what Cruz did with the Trade deal. I do like That Cruz is a Constitutionalist.
Lost tonight. The sun will rise tomorrow.
And let’s see what happens in NH next week.
Thank you for this indepth report Iowa David.
God Bless Iowa and God Bless Ted Cruz
