Iowa Caucuses Thread

[ArmedNerds]

Ho-hum, the Dems pick Hillary again. You might as well give her the nod, even though that will just give the Republicans the win.

Mind you, I think that it's definitely possible for a woman to get elected in this country, and to do a good job. It's just not Hillary.

An Iowa caucus goer just told an NPR presenter that she was supporting Trump because of the way he rebuilt the World Trade Center.

... Whatever happens, we deserve this travesty.

Huh?

 

[jamil]

Huh?

Let me translate.

The press found one idiot who says she's for Trump. Therefore, all Trump supporters are idiots. And we deserve Trump because Rubio's not going to win.

GOP #60 Des Moines
Trump 18
Rubio 15
Bush 14
Cruz 9
Huck 2
Paul 7
Fiorina 4
Carson 4
Christie 7
Kasich 1
Santorum 0

I think Santorum has a good shot here.

To be fair shes probably not as far from the average voter as you'd hope

With 40% in looks like O'Malley has 0.5% of the Dems. Hey mrj, those are Libertarian (big L) numbers... youse guys may have found your candidate... (evil grin)

 

[Expat]

Well they say Rand is just a bit over 4%, so that is disappointing.

Did his supporters fool you by being loud?

 

[Sylvain]

When will we know the final results?

You and I are going to have words if you keep misrepresenting the things I say.

Go to bed. The talking heads will tell you what they think you need to know in the morning.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Cruz is 1,100 votes ahead of Trump with 25% of the vote in.

I don't hold a lot of hope for the average voter. I think they're a lot like the video in the other thread where the sheep were circling the car. I woudln't doubt that we could find some idiots who say really stupid **** that support Rubio.

Regarding the relative intelligence of Trump voters, yeah, I think there are some real nutters. But I've changed my mind about Trump's supporters in general as I've encountered some really smart people I personally know and respect who support him. I think they're wrong. The best way I've accounted for their support is that Trump is their middle finger. But I'm not going to disparage Trump supporters because he attracts a very wide variety of people.

Of course, all that said, everyone who supports Rand Paul is highly intelligent and in fact are visionaries themselves.

 

[Expat]

They sounded very enthusiastic.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

38% reporting. Rubio seems to be gaining ground on Trump:
Cruz 29.4%
Trump 26.1%
Rubio 20.1%


If Cruz holds onto this, I'd say the chances of Trump suing him over citizenship/birth enter the 90-95% range.

You and your Sith sarcasm....

Or he might just throw a tantrum, pout, and go away. Best case scenario of course.
