#BREAKING: Republican Presidential Candidate Ben Carson Will Go Home To Florida ‘To Rest’ For a Few Days After The Iowa Caucus – @TheBlaze
— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) February 2, 2016
Tonight is the beginning of the end. The final scripts of the Presidential race will finally begin to be written. No more speculation. In its place: results.
Already CNN is reporting “record crowds.” Does that mean good news tonight for Donald Trump? Well find out in a few hours time.
Carson’s gonna have to pack it in like all the other candidates after he’s crushed by the Gilmore Juggernaut tonight.
News shows are showing caucus sites filled to over capacity, with a lot of new participants. Conventional wisdom says that this bodes well for Trump and Sanders.
They can register at the caucus, right?
Fox News going out on a limb early & predicting Marty OweMoney will finish third!!!
bold move Fox, absolutely BOLD
GOP has “run out of ballots”?!?
NO PROBLEM!
The new batch is coming RIGHT AWAY!!!
(…pre-marked for Rubio…)
“Thanks for voting! Now, get outta here!
…from what I’ve heard, you can change your affiliation, but not sure if you can register for the first time
FOX has indicated that at least Democrats can register at the caucus.
these ‘reporters’ must have come from the Weather Channel … “this place is overflowing, with at least 140 people in here…..”
Well, OF COURSE “Hot Gas” will push Rubio!
They are 101% GOP Establishment!
(I used to pity Ed Morrissey…now: he DESERVES it!)
SAME for “538”.
DONT’CHA have any NON-RINO sources?!?
luv the demonRATs process …… are you going to go against your local Homeowner’s Association Nazi if you have to get approval to put up that fence? …. do you go against the local zoning official if you want your place to be zoned ‘rural’? … or the schlub that delivers your mail? … or the local Constabulary?
…didn’t think so….
I have to say: I feel very optimistic about Ruibo’s odds tonight.
“8:35: CNN has Clinton 50% over Sanders at 44% in entrance polls”
yes…. but… what about that O’Malley juggernaut???
It’s time for Trump to change gears and start picking on that “nasty guy” Marco Rubio.
O’Malley is running a very solid third place…
WTF is an “Entrance Poll” – some new way to for Nate Silver & GOPeAir to publish BULLSHIT?
“8:41: BREAKING, MARTIN O’MALLEY HAS GAINED 1 VOTE. No, literally right now he has 1 vote.”
Memo to Marty: Thank your Aunt Claire from Des Moines
Is it just me or is Megyn Kelly’s hairdo morphing into Donald Trump’s hairdo?
Wierd, huh?
Weird. How spellcheck busts me on everything else but doesn’t know how to spell weird.
ok … my short-attention-span man sez, “I’m getting bored”
yeah…but pity about RUBIO…
“With 5% in, Jim Gilmore has not received any votes, but “Other” has 5″
Gilmore is only in it to give his Virginia primary votes to the ‘establishment’ candidate … at this point, looks like Rubio
All with time…
…that comes when Senor Amnesty
starts getting poll numbers
greater than his shoe size.
It means they aren’t busy enough harassing people coming OUT of the caucuses, so they’re harassing them going INTO the caucuses.
Murdoch/Ailes paid her EXTRA for that.
I just sent that video to my 21 year old son, and asked him who’s problem he thought these progressive’s decisions will be.
He told me that I’m not a representative example of my rotten generation, but he’s hoping that after the coming civil war, he hopes he’s representative of his.
Scary shit.
Sorry. Wrong thread. This was supposed to be on BFH’s German town hall disaster.
OweMoney goes up to 1% & Hitlary goes down 1% …. just goes to show ya …. anyone that would suck O’Malley’s crank would suck Shrillary’s crank
O’Malley has it in the bag if all the remaining votes goes for him….
at this point it looks like a Cruz win, Trump second, & the ‘establishment’ Rubio third …… Hitlary wins …. no surprise
it is still Trump’s to lose …. Cruz gets a couple more delegates than Trump or Rubio
Trump is poised to claim the most delegates in NH, SC & NV
the real vote is on March 1, Super Tuesday …
The Gilmore Juggernaut is unstoppable!!! First he had one vote and then, he did something incredible: he DOUBLED the amount of votes he had! Feel the wrath of Gilmore!! Resistance is futile!!
Considerable count of Caucasians caucusing for Cankles…
The Gilmore Groundswell isn’t just caucusing. They’re caucasioning!
OK, I don’t really know what that means but we’re playing a drinking game here where, whenever Gilmore doesn’t get a vote we all take a drink. So far, the empty cans are really piling up so I may not know what I’m saying, if ya get my meaning.
Which is strange because we’re drinking cream soda.
sooooooooo……………
the demonRAT delegate count splits two ways
the repugnican delegate count splits three ways
Onward To New Hampshire!!!
I am a very happy person right now.

?
Hold the party till the very end please. Don’t want to jinx it.
CRUZ Control!!!!
I didn’t expect Trump to take Iowa. It is a bit of a weird state. I DID expect Rubio to surge. So, I am right. I think it is not a big deal for Trump to not take Iowa. It’s Iowa. Huckabee and Rick S won Iowa. Of course the lefties are very happy – thinking that Trump is TOTALLY destroyed. 🙂 Whatever. I don’t think the people in NH or SC will change who they vote for based on Iowa, and that is the thing.
Cruz supporters – I wouldn’t celebrate too much. Iowa has picked the loser consistently.
Congrats! 😉
This isn’t the general election. Don’t heart attack till November, m’kay? Jeez. When I see shit like this my first thoughts are “I wannanother beer”.
Sore loser?
Hey, I learned just today that Rick S didn’t get announced the winner in Iowa until TWO weeks after it had been called for Romney. How he heck did that even happen? He was third on caucus night. Iowa. But Romney got a MUCH needed bump.
Dang, I don’t get to collect on the bet I didn’t make! Well, congrats Cruz supporters! NH is going to be hard to take in the GE, but we’ll all do our best! I don’t think there are as many evangelicals in NH. 😉
New Hampshire’s full of anti flatlanders.
No disrespect to Rubio, wife, and his supporters.
His pinky backdrop as he spoke with his conviction did not help him. If that was a wifey thing, again no disrespect, oh please don’t.
Name in Caps Dude!
Say it right; New Hampshia. Wonder why this state caucaus is after Iowa, but makes sense ultimately..
You know that you could be fired at any moment, right?
