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.
Jebbie picked up a delegate...
CSPAN 99% of Precincts Reporting 11.42 CST
Cruz 51527 27.6% 8 delegates
Trump 45352 24.3% 7
Rubio 43037 23.1% 7
Carson 17356 9.3% 3
Paul 8455 4.5% 1
Jebbie 5230 2.8% 1
Hillary 49.9% 22 delegates
Bernie 49.6% 21 delegates
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.

Have Mommie kiss it better.
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.
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.
The guy at the top is responsible for whatever his minions on down do.....
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.
glad Jeb! got a participation medal! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tImznh4FbAg
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.
Carson: Other campaigns sabotaged us with ‘dirty tricks’
Ticks me off when I read these account of Cruz's people outright lying.
Votes
It is that simple
.
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.
Well, bless his heart.
