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?

Do not ignore Rubio!

He has to be demolished, he is essentially identical to JEB.

There is nothing that the Republican candidates will say that will reach the depths of what the dem machine will say. Better to toughen up now, get it on the table and develop strategies to deal with it.

I don’t think it is over for Trump, not this soon, it might have been over with for Cruz, cause NH and SC are next and he is trailing big in those states.

But we will see.

Congrats to the Cruz and his team for victory

Looks like Carson is learning he needs to be on his toes when it comes to running an election....other candidates would have been on top of that “rumor” fast and hard.

I doubt Cruz out that word out .....maybe some of his people but that’s not how Cruz operates....I also don’t think Carson said it was Cruz.....but it’s reported as that.

On a positive note, with all but 1 precinct in, the total votes in the Republican Caucus in Iowa was a record 186,885.

I am a Trump Supporter

Cruz did not “cheat” just played a trick

Nothing wrong with that

All is fair in love and war

Of course he’s got to be brought down.....he’s the Jeb replacement we all talked about before...and now has the Establishment Machine behind him....I suspect, after listening to a brief chat from Jeb today, he’s going to continue to speak more and more favorable about Rubio as he’s begun to do. The two will be buddies before this is over.

"Carson has no money. He has to fold his tent soon.

I see Carson's support being split but Trump getting very little of it, these are the hard-core social issues evangelicals that are shy about supporting a casino-building Hollywood man who seems to them confused about rudimentary Christianity and to many of them, seems lacking in basic humility (which is part of why they liked Carson and his style --he's the non-Donald). Santorum will pick up a point or two, Cruz a couple, Rubio 3, and a scattering for the rest. Max of 1 for Trump.

You’d expect that from an old Mondale employee. Just like Chris Matthews. I can’t tell which one is more disabled!

Yes, I said it! lol

Why would Cruz bother to mess with Carson?

He wouldn’t.

Trump already has.

Don’t make stupid excuses

And for the record, all is fair in love and war

Cruz or his minions did nothing wrong

You can put lipstick on a pig and it is still a pig.

Looks like you win period. I had to sweep to win. Looks to me like Trump’s support went to Rubio.

We’re this close to an open borders president.

Cruz cheated, read this article

Carson: Other campaigns sabotaged us with ‘dirty tricks’

Ticks me off when I read these account of Cruz's people outright lying.

Cruz will be in control now.

The “concerned” liars have been blown out of the water.

All doubters will be cascading to Cruz for shelter from the storm.

Rubio has to be stopped; he is GOPe to his core.
