[Constitutionally Inclined]

Will 5th kill any chance of momentum in New Hampshire?

'Murikans hate the Constitution. 'Specially 'Publican 'Murikans.

Rand is starting to pull ahead of Carson in the Des Moines area up to 8%

Nice. Where are you seeing that?

 

[francisco]

Trump and Sanders pulling down massive support. Any which way you slice it, it seems like the more cold hard truths brought into the light, the darker this country gets.

Sick!

Mussolini or Mao, pick yer poison

Hillary has won Iowa.

You've got to be freakin' kidding me. In a "very fiscally conservative" area's caucus site, RUBIO wins and Paul gets like 4%. Rubio is one of the least fiscally conservative candidates. Paul, the only true fiscal conservative running does poorly??? What is the IQ of Iowa voters??? Do they even care??? Sorry I don't usually go after things like people's IQ, but what I mean is...it's like nobody is even trying to save the country.

Honestly I'm beginning to think those corn-suckers have IQ's in the single digits.

Hillary has won Iowa.

As predicted.

Ok, I'm calling this;

There's a whole bunch of stupid people in Iowa. Trump called them stupid, still they vote for him.
Well, at least they are honest with themselves.

 

[Thor]

How dumb are the people of Iowa?

They eat GMO corn and hump pigs, what do you expect?

Trump a proud nationalist, Sanders a proud socialist. Country is making a strong lurch towards Nazism. I'm sure we'll get some new name for it, Ron called it crony capitalism. It's fascism on freaking steroids.

Unsustainable debt, war machine stretched too thin, unorganized populace with no direction. Country is primed for invasion and it has the moral mud pit to climb out of.

Scary times. 2007-2008 looked like a picnic compared to whats coming I'm afraid.

Only positive in the last 10 years, looks like the drug war is winding down. Not fast enough obviously.

Hitting the snooze button again this election cycle. Way to go United States of America!

Rubio will make the country safe and undo everything that Obama did. And he'll make the military bigger strong faster with bigger bombs. Unfortunately people want blood more than liberty.

I don't think so. I want Rand to continue. He has a nice notch on his belt, having slain a Bush.

 

[CPUd]

Will 5th kill any chance of momentum in New Hampshire?

He needs to at least beat Carson to get any decent press. But coming in ahead of Bush will get some mentions.

Hillary has won Iowa.

Her and Bern both end up with 15 delegates so far, it's also only at 53% still too soon to call this one.

For comparison to Ron's 2012 results by county:

I'm not seeing evidence that caucus numbers will be too much bigger than in 2012, I'm comparing right now

I have put my blood sweat and tears into this as some on this board could give a shit. I am going to get neg rep, that's fine because I know where my heart is. Talking to GOP voters there is no hope. I fell like it is all for not. I have put all my savings into the campaign, I am battling medical bills from a car crash that someone hit me. Yes I am mad and it's my right to vent. I feel like fool's gold. It's like no one cares.

I'm probably older than you. Many here have done something similar to what you're doing in 08 or 12. I kicked in $ today, first of the cycle and the biggest single contribution I ever gave. But, my level of caring just isn't where it was in 08 and 12.

Things in this country are shittier than ever before, and each day is the worst day yet. So, within this context, do we see wins? No, we really don't. We didn't in 08 or in 12 and it's not looking so good right now for 16. My ability to tolerate politicians isn't going up, it's going down.

I'm watching Fox News and Karl Rove is there on TV. The world would be a better place if Rove was dead. But he isn't. Many people are moving toward "fk it" not away from that position. And some of us aren't moving toward the "more freedom" position, and are moving toward, "dig a hole and wait for the end, it's just going to be awful." So, I kicked in good money today by my standards. But most of these people (Rove) make me sick. And if politics is like a horse race or something, people wouldn't be watching horse races if every single horse but one made you sick, and everyone talking about the horses make you sick. The people in charge are awful. Ideally, they're getting their heads chopped off, but that's not happening, not on the horizon.

Given all this, you might be seeing some gallows humor if things don't go right. On the bright side, there are more candidates below Rand than above him, and NH seems to be a good place for Rand, I suppose. It's not like we live in the world that these wretched TV creatures pretend we live in. It's rigged. The human trash that control things don't want Rand. Within that context, Rand is doing a fine job.

You mean the sheeple don't hump sheep?
