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?
Good analysis.
I think Trump needs to present a positive plan of what he wants to do and his vision for the country.
Iowa is a strange state. Trump doing this well is a big win. The pundits tried to create expectations of a Trump win so they could bash him when he finished 2nd.
Rubio was the surprise. He’s killed off Jeb and Katich.
Reagan. Every other Republican candidate that won the presidency are the only ones that ran as conservatives all the ones that ran as rinos lost. Bush I ran the first time as a conservative by the second time he was a rino.
Now give me an example of the last Republican North-easterner who won the Presidency? What about the last Republican New Yorker?
Trump has a good chance but history does have real meaning.... and historically the South and mid-West do not like or vote North-eastern rinos nor do they trust people from the North and playing games with his abortion stance just prove it, they do not think Northerner's can be trusted to keep their words. Slick word games are a stupid thing to do in flyover country.
I knew about Chain gang Charlie Christ but did not know about Rubio’s peccadilloes. Will begin doing some research. Makes sense that establishment candidate would always have something to be controlled and blackmailed with. I voted for that damn Rubio once for senator, never again.
“...If Clinton can win in this scenario, it is too late for politics to do much of anything.”
That assertion sends a chill through my spine - b/c I know it to be true ... God help us.
The GOPe is declaring - yet again - that Trump is done. Krauthammer right now.
Silly.
The Rubio won spin will be non stop. He’s their guy.
>>>Since Trump’s mother was an immigrant, does that make him an anchor baby?<<<
Nice try, but you already know your comment is nonsense.
Ask the same question about BOTH of Rubio’s Parents.
Don’t worry, if you don’t the DemoncRats will if he ends up being the Republican Nominee.
Wasn’t met to be a lecture. Trump’s not pro-life, and he shouldn’t say that he is. It’s dishonest.
a feeble blinking calf???
I need to file that away....I’ll have to use that...
I’m saying claiming the whole birther thing.... it’s pure nastiness...
Hitlery is running left. She will not be the candidate. She will run right into warren who will come back. Amazing how screwed the UShad become with one major party a bunch of socialists.
There’s 81 more Democrat precincts to report and they aren’t going to do this tonight?
Total fraud to make Hillary get all the headlines of winning.
I can’t stomach Fox. CNN is subliminally Berning...
That’s a flat out lie ...quit being dishonest
Why would I do that, they were not running.
Hilly is weak weak weak
Hilly is weak weak weak
We’ll see ..
Huh, punching each other?
All the increased voter turnout was directly attributed to Trump and all your hard work.
My hard work? I live in Florida.
Rubio's rise came at Trump's expense. The increased turnout was suppose to drive Trump to a big win. You know, he's the guy bringing new voters to the process and motivating democrats to crossover.
meanwhile, Cruz is steady and sticks to the plan. He did it without pandering to the church of ethanol. They said it was impossible to win Iowa taking that position. They say Cruz can't win the general. It's 1976 and 1980 all over again.
