Iowa Caucus Live Thread

2/1/16

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?

Interesting insight.
Sounds like Burney and Hildabeast split too.

[jjotto]

Maybe 170,000 GOP turnout!

[diamond6]

That was dream scenario - Cruz first and Trump third.

Thanks.

Looks like I might win half of our cyber coffee.

Correction: He, Trump and Rubio....

Deuteronomy 28:13
The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.

Don’t get me wrong. Cruz is fine with me but I just don’t think he can beat Hitlery AND THIS WHOLE THING IS ELECTRONICALLY RIGGED ANYWAY. I SEE THAT RIGHT NOW WITH RUBIO. TOTAL BS.

[KC Burke]

right now 65% of the precincts are reporting their votes. Those are the ones completed in their count and sending in results. They would be the smaller and less contentious.

The larger precincts with complex contests and larger vote totals report last.

So Fox must be projecting since all the live services are saying mid 65% for precincts reporting (not total of votes as they aren’t yet counted.)

[glenduh]

But i am watching... The fat ladies are still counting.

[jjsheridan5]

Regarding Fox comments just now, how can there be 150,000 turnout if Fox’ screen says 75% of the results are in and they already have 75,000 votes counted? Something’s not adding up.

75% of the precincts are in. Not 75% of the vote. While this means that it could tighten, it probably won't, since Cruz is doing better than expected in high population areas.

>> Rubio is the proxy for “the field”. When the options are Trump, Cruz, Someone else. That’s Rubio.

I think you broke the code.

[ohiobuckeye1997]

Missed in all the trump-mania is the ground game, the fund raising and the organization and structure of the Cruz campaign. It is top notch.

[Bodleian_Girl]

Ok, didn’t know he wanted to legalize drugs.

My interest just died.

He is a little cute though.

[NYRepublican72]

Hitlery’s lead down to 1.4%. 50.4-49 with 75% in.

[WENDLE]

I think this is phoney. Trump is on it.

[gleeaikin]

Like you really think that the Trump people, plus all the others would allow the Cruz people to lock the doors before 8 pm???

[kjam22]

Heck... if he doesn’t talk about leading in the polls what is he gonna talk about?

[Jane Long]

Agree....great post. This Rube surge is baffling....and troubling.

Rubio is an amnesty supporter who worked with Schumer to kill the American worker. The Gang of 8 bill would have tripled legal immigration to over 30 million in a decade. Rubio is the GOPe candidate.
