2016 Iowa Caucus Thread

I feel like puking.

Lay off the rum.

I think it will be something like someone formerly working for the Rubio is tasked with data reporting for the new Microsoft app that they are using to collect all the data. Microsoft is for open borders therefore they are rigging the vote.



"They did this to themselves." Nah, the person to blame is the leader. The supporters just followed their commanders lead of insulting tactics. Insulting those you need to caucus is not a winning strategy. However more likely this was due to Rand derailing his campaign around June of last year with his tax plan that included the hidden VAT in the business flat tax.

LOL kahless is that you?

If we do not beat Carsen ... Time to just vote for Bernie and burn this country down with free shit. I might just volunteer to get laid off at work and suck off the tit as well.

I'm with Rand to the bitter end. Then I'll support Cruz. Then I'll support any Republican over Dem.

I'll support anyone over Bernie. My worst case scenario is Trump v Bernie and trump does something stupid to let Bernie win. He's the anti Liberty.

How dumb are the people of Iowa?

Dunno, but it's perhaps hard to turn people out en mass when the polls look weak.

Disappointed so far, gonna watch a bit more if he can tick up to 4th place, but ending in 5th in my mind is neither a 'respectful showing' nor does it leave any way forward for the campaign.

The fact of the matter is, all the Governors should drop out. Let's get this to a five man race, and a five man debate.

People here are over reacting; only 19% precincts reporting...long way to go

A fair question would be what counties have been counted. How many votes are left in the big student areas?

Calling this now, been through this in 08 and 12, this is over.

 

[euphemia]

You all keep talking about establishment favorites. Besides Bush, I don't see that the party is really supporting anyone else. They've really walked back the support for Bush. They want a business-friendly candidate, and that would probably mean Trump, but nobody is really talking enthusiastically about anyone.

Most or all of the big ones are still out.

I cant believe idiots are voting for idiot Ben Carson.
Still lost for words how anyone could vote for a Canadian lol

The truth is our issues aren't appealing to the base. They want action, whether it be tough talk and action against ISIS, a border wall, etc. There's a reason why the top 4 candidates arguably offer nothing but personal qualities. Trump is the bomb-thrower populist, Cruz the self-proclaimed conservative fighter doling out read meat, Rubio the robotic neocon with his programmed statements, Carson the soft-spoken evangelical.

Rand and Jeb! arguably offer the most in terms of substance (different blends, yes, but arguably the wonkiest) and they have just been steamrolled by bluster. It's unfortunate, but there is nothing that can be done about it.

And did anyone notice that the very high turnout has found some sites wholly unprepared. Not enough registration forms, and not enough ballots. How can they let this happen?

Most of them are concern trolling like they have been since 2012.

Cruz is the scum of the Earth and doesn't have a hope in hell of winning a general election. You'll be feeling the Bern. I'll be looking into agorism.

 

[groverblue]

what counties should we pay attention to?

 

[ProBlue33]

The only thing I am happy about is that Paul will beat Bush
