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?

Oh come on

I did not say he has to control them

He just has to take responsibility for their actions, that is how is it suppose to work. That is what being an executive is about.

The buck stops with the guy at the top, not some minion

Well that is how it is suppose to work anyways

The odds makers do not see the Trump train on the tracks now.

Rubio’s best counties, and his only wins, were Story County (ISU), Johnson County (University of Iowa), Polk County (Drake University in Des Moines), Dallas County (the western Des Moines suburbs) and my Scott County which went Rubio/Trump/Cruz although only 0.6% between first and third. My precinct wasn’t as close, Rubio 171, Trump 100, Cruz 83 out of 435 total. Cruz managed to narrowly beat Rubio in Black Hawk County in spite of UNI, but the above counties suggest that Rubio (NOT my candidate) does the best of the GOP 3 with college voters. For whatever that’s worth.

Umm so what?

I really don’t care what bookies think, I am not a gambling type of person and don’t look at it as evidence of anything. Other then people like to lose their hard earned money.

In reality, the victory didn’t really change much of anything other than gave Rubio an unexpected bump.

I guess you did not understand. They changed the rules just for this election to intentionally lessen the ability of any outsider to gain a plurality of votes in the early primaries. Now they have their GOPe candidate, Rubio, in the strong position to build up the count.

I believe the other candidates should throw their support to Donald Trump as the only political outsider and the only person that will thwart the Wall Street - CFR - Globalist NWO - GOPe power brokers.

Iowa snuffed Trump’s lie.

He never was a “front runner.”

Actually it wasn’t Trump’s lie, it was the MSM’s lie, but he reveled in it nevertheless.

Over.

Trump is not going to go to a 2 pt lead by next week. I’m talking down the road like the SEC where many others will have dropped out. When you get to only two or three candidates the numbers will tighten. They have to.

I support both Trump and Cruz for different reasons. So either way, it was a good night for me. I do think (unless something changes) that Trump will get the nomination. This is my first post but I have been reading (and donating) for a few years. This vitriol has been a bummer to read for a few weeks. If Cruz took it, well, he was my original choice anyway.

Anybody but the communists.

Trump’s rallies are packed with young people. Get a clue.

No one will be throwing anything to Trump.

Fantasy land has collapsed.

As Krauthammer explained tonight, Trump has no growing room.

He is not a likely winner.

Well, at least Bernie now knows which counties he did best in.

Krauthammer is a moron.

As long as Trump maintains his leads in NH and SC, Super Tuesday will swing strongly Trump and he’ll remain the favorite for the nomination.

The problem is going to be if the GOP-e rallies behind amnesty schmuck Rubio.

Oh no, I’m not insulted in the least. I just thought your comment was a failed gotcha attempt and rather humorous.

Heck, we had all better be on the same team when the Republican Nominee is chosen. I’m not sure many here can take the vitriol (hence my Tagline) for much longer. Let’s hope Super Tuesday ends it, but I have my doubts.

Just pointing out that anyone who just dismisses the NBC issue for both Cruz and Rubio is whistling past the Graveyard.

The DemoncRats will go after that issue with either of them.

I’m not into trading Insults either, the pay is lousy. LOL
