2016 Iowa Caucus Thread

[Foreigner]

Rubio just won the establishment primary. Cruz and Trump are going to battle it out for a while... The party is gonna find a way to nominate Rubio.

Your always welcomed in Canada and we have a better health care
Yes and its free.

How long do you have to wait for a mammogram? I have a close friend in Alberta who had to wait 6 months for a simple blood test for thyroid levels. I have one every three months. Go figure.

Stop acting surprised. Did you just arrive on this planet?

in a general, no, i wouldnt be surprised.

in a primary, ya, im a little surprised.

every GOP voter rambles on about how obama has doubled the debt...and then goes and votes for someone still adding to the debt. ya, thats surprising.

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.

Extreme riots and poverty are the best case scenario. Keeping going in the same direction we're going is the worst case scenario. Whatever it is, it's bad. And the thing is, liberty is the best way to run the country, but liberty really isn't the solution to our particular problems right now. he bad

The bad guys are in charge. So, we get a ideal President, a Paul, and we get the least amount of government we'd possibly get. Government is still there. And the bad guys are still in charge. Finding the bad guys and chopping their heads off. And I know that's not Libertarian, and I'm not here all the time talking this. We're just screwed. Every days things are getting worse, and the likelihood of me voting the in the future, keeps going down. There's no optimism or hope, just a dwindling vestigal sense of duty or something, I don't know exactly what it might be. But it's not vote for someone who will make this country better. The people in charge, who really are just awful, evil people, very much like how things are going, and are not interested in anything different, and it hasn't been set up at all to allow that to happen.

Now, maybe Rand really crushed it at the colleges and the universities. In which case, hooray, something something happy. It would be nice to be able to point to some crushing it, somewhere in Iowa at some caucuses. At least they can go and learn what it took to crush it there. Maybe they're on it and they're crushing it.

PS: Who the fuck is voting for Carson? That dude literally acted like he was shot with a tranquilizer dart at each debate.

Same question I've been asking myself all night

Again, I want to push many grannys off a cliff

 

[Mr.NoSmile]

Disappointed in all of the people who pledged to go and didn't, if there were any.

You're disappointed in something or someone when you don't even know their decision?

 

[WTLaw]

There is never a reason to give up liberty, remember that.

I don't get it. Rand has over 1,000 precinct captains & 10,000 students pledged to caucus for him. How can he only have 4,663 votes so far?

PS: Who the fuck is voting for Carson? That dude literally acted like he was shot with a tranquilizer dart at each debate.

People who share his values. Identity politics is big on the right too.

 

[tonyaustin]

Trump's supporters online are blaming "Evangicucks."

LMAO.

 

[r3volution 3.0]

I cannot understand it. Why isn't liberty popular?

The people are very stupid.

 

[luctor-et-emergo]

I don't think it's that cold. I think they named it Iceland so people wouldn't consider moving to it. Srs.

I've been drinking though.

I hate politics.

It doesn't get majorly cold there. It's just below freezing more than half of the year.

Still, it's pretty nice country there, lots of space. Lots of opportunities for hiking, fishing, off-roading. There's hot-springs that you can bathe in.. These people are rugged individuals.

 

[Joeinmo]

I Dubuque County Ron received 600 plus votes, Rand is at 32 votes. Doesn't make sense

 

[CPUd]

 

[adam220891]

Cruz stole the soft liberty support. Bernie and Trump stole the 'fuck the man' vote.

Rand was left with the hardcore liberty vote. Which apparently isn't that much.

I don't blame Rand. I understood his logic. It didn't work, sadly.

 

[Dianne]

If Hillary wins, I will have to call this thing rigged. She has two or three hundred at a typical rally, while Bernie Sandinista will have two to three thousand. All the progressive rags like demounderground and moveon worship Bernie, and hate Hillary.

So she winning makes no sense whatsoever.

 

[Legend1104]

I don't like Cruz or trump, but I swear if Rubio ends up Winning the nomination I quit.

 

[Joeinmo]

The people are very stupid.

Lots of Talk radio listened to in Iowa, they paraded Cruz night and Day, and also Trump until the last minute

 

[Jonderdonk]

We may not be popular, but I take solace in the fact that we're right.

 

[clint4liberty]

4,894 votes

 

[Thor]

That was kansas actually but same thing

Yup. same thing... flat, corn and pigs...

 

[Foreigner]

Soon 100K votes counted.. not much happening. Will we even get top 3 in any county?
