2016 Iowa Caucus Thread

Because people didn't want to put up with what their neighbors thought about them for picking Rand. I swear Iowa needs to be done away with, that place is fucking worthless.

Of course they are worthless, that's why they have to have their caucus before everybody else. They wouldn't have anything otherwise.
 
It seems as though the establishment has effectively put any upstart revolution back into the bottle for another 20 years or so...
 
I think I'll go watch the latest X files fucking episode. Fuck this shit! Fuck the people! I hope they get fucked in their ass hole when the economy collapses.
 
Anyways, they let Ron get all the way up to 21% and 3rd place last time around. There isn't any rationale for "the powers that be" to keep Rand at 4-5%. He simply doesn't have any support. Blame Cruz. That Canadian asshole shouldn't even be running for President

Yep - same thoughts here. I am basically in the mode of building up my ranch to move to within the next 5 years. The USA is going to shit. I give it another 8 years before extreme riots and poverty. We are on a fiscal policy collapse. China and Russia will end our petro dollar.

8 years is a long time in my book. I give it 5 as the over/under b 4 the collapse

It was originally part of a broad strategy to show his appeal. When he double-downed on it, I believe that came around when he was stuck at 2-3% in early autumn, I began to become concerned that even they knew things wouldn't go right.

Can someone please tell me how the fuck Cruz, Trump and Rubio are all at 20+% and Rand hasn't moved. God the founders would be so pissed off at what this country has become.

I was curious about that too. Carson hasn't moved either, at 10% constantly which seems weird.
 
I just turned 28, well tomorrow, and this is the first election cycle that I am highly involved. I have grown attached and I blew up on the board, I apologize. I just can't stand people who do not try and point their finger and say ah ha I told you that your efforts are futile. I apologize to all on this forum.

I should have known this would be the result. The campaign didn't have the money to run a good campaign because of the morons that were fooled by Trump and Cruz. And the fact that apparently a bunch of the Ron Paul voters never really understood what liberty was about. Just a bunch of rebel idiots.

Great points. We probably lost lot of soft support to Trump (the conspiracy theorists/NWO types), Carson (evangelicals/home schoolers), and Cruz (those claiming to be very conservative but likely more hawkish).

Rand was smart to figure out that the message needed to be changed up, it's just that he either misfired or more likely didn't fire enough. There was no room for nuance or substance in this primary.
