Iowa Caucus Live Thread

2/1/16

[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?

This may not be true, but I heard that during the first take, the cast had no idea the kind of message that would be brought. But someone dropped a medical instrument prop, so they did a second take, but they just couldn’t get the same reaction, so they kept the first take with the sound of the drop in.

All in all, a powerful scene.

I'm sure that most of them are Trump voters

Right, that's usually it. Most are changing to vote for Trump than against. We can bet our petunias and pansies that it is the case here.

I liked it because it was all rettrick and vitriol, and then Bhoom! she was out. Hate the ones who ramble.

Thanks for ping. Who will win?

Who has message, media, momentum and money. I think Trump is coming in hot. But a Cruz win will be fine. I fear Marco is going to be leading in the establishment lane.

Excellent choice.

I hope Hillary gets her Cell Block C moment.

...but that reminds me of (some guys name) Band that dumped a bunch of human waste onto boat passengers as they passed under a bridge in Chicago!

Article says that the bus, uh, unloaded 800 lbs of holding tank contents;

Matthews Band bus driver pleads guilty to dumping waste in river

No news yet (still waiting for confirmation) on massive, uh, twitter-dump from the Donald's aircraft.

It must be good to be the rich guy who dumps on the little people (those who dare to criticize, or else in some way oppose himself).

Personally though, to answer another question that came up previously on this thread --- I would prefer to be in Australia...

[bigbob]

I have, and after reading and watching the man, the answer is yes.

And why should that be so hard to understand? He more than most has enjoyed the freedom this nation offers to create a life beyond anyone’s expectations. He’s got all the money he and his family will ever need - he’s already a celebrity and enjoys power and fame. Who doesn’t turn their thoughts to leaving the place that they love a better place for future generations?

Thanks art talk radio has done a terrible job of explaining what a caucus is and how it works just unbelievably poor

[I Hired Craig Livingstone]

Sounds like this is going to be historically YUGE for sure.

[drewh]

I’m crushing hard for Tana Goertz

[Grampa Dave]

Please keep us posted re their reports!

Thanks.

Cruz will probably sue to close all the doors at 7, even though
thousands of people having hard time finding parking spaces
to get in line to vote.
