Gonna be a long close night in Iowa. Marco Rubio is kicking ass tonight, good news for Yarddog!
My first caucus was weird and the lady running it screwed it up, no surprise she was a Hillz supporter. She screwed the O'Malley people over not giving them a chance to reach the viability threshold. Anyway Bernie won my precinct and now I am an official voting delegate :billdance:
-
I mean I could vote for Hilz instead of Bernie at the convention but there's no way in hell I'll do that.
I can be bought though
-
Apparently the projected turnout is going to smash records.
-
67% of the vote left and Hillz is up on Bern by a whole 14 delegates.
-
75% of the Republican votes in and Marco is closing fast on the Donald, the meltdown will be glorious.
-
67% of the vote left and Hillz is up on Bern by a whole 14 delegates.
Is that a lot or a few?
-
Is a caucus weird AF? Sounds kind of fun though.
-
Will Bernie Fife beat Mean Aunt Bea?
Will Mr. Cruz Haney triumph over New Yorker Oliver Swindle Trump? Will young sprout Eb Marco sneak a win? Will Kimble Kasich get a vote? Will Uncle Slow Joe Christie get off his butt over 2%?
-
BTW if you are following the numbers right now the differences in the numbers are that in the Republican caucuses they count votes, the Democratic caucuses count delegates. Republicans casts physical ballots in their caucuses, the D's count heads and then assign the percentage of delegates right away.
-
75% of the Republican votes in and Marco is closing fast on the Donald, the meltdown will be glorious.
Do you mean Donalds meltdown? I'm pretty sure whatever the outcome he is claiming victory
-

Tiny amount
Is a caucus weird AF? Sounds kind of fun though.
Unspeakably weird, basically random people speak to others about why you should switch to their side. The lady who spoke for O'Malley said we should pick him because "it's too early to give up on him." A lady spoke for Hilz and said we should vote for her because she's a woman and Bernie supporters shouldn't believe Republican lies about her, she also said the Republicans would work with Hilz and not Bernie, I audiably loled. I spoke for Bern and said only he and O'Malley are the true liberals and why should we just accept 8 more years of Barack W. Bush.
-

I think if he finishes third he'll freak out.

I thought Ted would win by more tonight, but still pleased he beat Trump.
Rubio is the big surprise. The guy barely campaigned in Iowa. There might be more common sense people there than I thought.
When you look at how the vote split, Trump could be in yuge trouble. He is almost nobody's second choice, so he doesn't have much upside as weaker candidates drop and the votes consolidate.
Still probably gonna have to wait until after South Carolina, but we could realistically be on the verge of a three man race.
Oh, I guess I should add an :lol: that the congenital liar felon is running neck and neck with the pushing 80 Socialist. Quite a choice you guys get to make, Dems!
-
Martin O'Malley is suspending his campaign :cry: This is a surprise because by all accounts he is doing much better than he polled, I've heard he has been around 10% at several sites, but the viability threshold has erased all of that. I hope he didn't think he would be above 15%.
-
Fuckabee is now going home, good riddance to stank trash.

You thought Ted would win by more? He's up 4%, that's a virtual blowout. Given he's anti ethanol subsidizes in Iowa, him blowing out Trump was definitely not expected.
Rubio is a huge winner tonight, if he wins New Hampshire it is OVER! There are reports from the Trump campaign and party of anger, they booed the Cruz projected win.
-
Looks like the Democratic caucus will end in an effective dead heat.
-
Bernie will smoke hilldawg in new hampshire right ?
-
the real non-vote for trump that every slightly intelligent person thought has commenced tonight
-
Bernie will smoke hilldawg in new hampshire right ?
Five percent or so. He'll certainly leave NH with the delegate lead.
-
Why is Rubio celebrating third place like he won?
-
Jim Gilmore got 11 votes. Not delegates. Votes. He lost to "Other."

Stick to the stuff you know dude.

I am very interested in hearing the Donald speak tonight.
-
Rubio seems like the only viable candidate in the entire field, pub or dem. I assumed that alone would doom him in the primary
-
Why is Rubio celebrating third place like he won?
He pretty much did, he absolutely overachieved tonight, the biggest winner from either party.
-

-

I was going to post this, it's hilarious as hell.
-
Rubio nearly took second despite spending about 15 minutes in Iowa. If he actually starts campaigning at some point instead of just debating and fund raising, he could do well.
-
Hasn't suspended his campaign yet, must be a fighter.
-

I'm pretty sure I have enough friends and family in Iowa that I could have beaten Gilmore. That would have been something to tell the grandkids.

I honestly never even heard the name Jim Gilmore until this thread. Who is he?

Why are you worried about it? The most viable Republican candidate lost to the living version of our Facebook thread and a pro abortion reality star with a handfull of bankruptcies and no speakable platform.
-
Two minutes until Trump :excited:
-
Amazing that GOP turnout is going to hit 170k. "The smart people" said turnout that high virtually guaranteed a Trump win. Nope.

That's the thing. I'm not at all worried about it. I think it's hilarious that the Dem is so weak that these are literally your only two choices.
The GOP certainly has some problems of its own, but I'd take a three man race with Cruz, Rubio, and a baffoon any day over the choice Dems have.

You are such a stupid ass. Bernie Sanders being a "socialist" isn't a weakness for running for the Democratic nomination just as being a bat crap far right Christian Conservative isn't a weakness when running for the Republican nomination. It's amazing that these things have to be explained to you.
-
Is Marco Rubio a sane person? I know nothing.
He's more of the same.
-
Oh Lordy, this get even more hilarious one of Hillary's 3 vote lead was decided by a coin toss. Not even shitting you. http://theweek.com/speedreads/602890/hillary-clinton-wins-iowa-precinct-by-coin-toss (http://theweek.com/speedreads/602890/hillary-clinton-wins-iowa-precinct-by-coin-toss)
Maybe Dems should just, you know, count votes like the GOP instead of making the caucus process more f'd up than it already it is.
-
So all this lol about trump hijacking the pubs, meanwhile Bernie was hijacking the dems. Lol
Bernie Sanders is a liberal trying for the Democratic nomination. Donald Trump is a liberal who doesn't want to pay taxes running for the Republican nomination.
-
Unless trump really messed up he'll do better by secret ballot imo

Grimace may lose to Fuckabee who quit the race hours ago. He's in 9th just 22 votes from falling to 10th.
-
You are such a stupid ass. Bernie Sanders being a "socialist" isn't a weakness for running for the Democratic nomination
I'm well aware of this. It's very telling about the state of the Dem party. Well, I mean conservatives have always known that most Dems are closet socialists, but now they can't really hide it anymore.
-
Socialism is the craziest rough ridin' platform to run on by far. Being a liberal is second. W Bush could win a third term against either.
Denying this makes you delusional. Look at the state polling now, when the pubs are still a morass of names.
Bernie is a bumbling buffoon who can't get anything right. He probably has dementia. You think he's going to be able to sell the "bringing the aisles together" bullshit Obama sold? Lol
-
Bernie actually said he'd raise taxes on the middle class so he could take away their healthcare and replace it with medicare. Notwithstanding that he'd never be able to push that through, do you really think half the country is going behind this? If you do, you're rough ridin' delusional.
-
wow, ted cruz somehow is more disgusting than hillary clinton. hard to do that
-
Ted Cruz is in lofty company of previous republican winners such as Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum in the great state of Iowa
-
I think people, anyone who isn't blinded by electability, in general have ideals that aren't palatable to a large chunk of the country. I realize that he has some ideals that aren't popular to the unwashed uninformed masses, why the eff should I care about them? My vote is for me.
To have such extremist views you two seem very beholden to the shitty political machine in this country. I respect Ted Cruz for his political conviction I can't stand his rhetoric and his crap on everyone rhetoric though.
-
Idealists are always the extremists, you're confused, per usual

"I think it's best, the rest of the country is wrong, they are the extremists, not me."
Okay
-
I've made it abundantly clear that I consider myself an extremist, I'm not sure what your point is and you don't either.
-
Are you rough ridin' drunk/high?

fsd and ksuw don't think they are extremists, i think that's the point.

Extremists beholden to the establishment. Like prostitutes beholden to celibacy
-

fsd is a sock so he's probably right, I'm guessing that ksuw would be perfectly fine with not being considered a moderate.
-
well he thinks moderates are just socialists in disguise, so i'd say that's an extremist position, but i doubt you'd get him to admit that it's an extremist position
-
he just keeps talking and talking, good grief. he's so gross, how can anyone like this piece of garbage?

I said most Dems are closet socialists. And I think that's a fact given that half of the Iowa Dem electorate just voted for... A socialist. This is not exactly profound stuff.

No idea. The audacity to say "been waiting on this..." but the "this" being thievery is something else.

It's not a bad thing, you're just farther right than most just as I'm farther left than most.
-
So apparently there have been at least three coin tosses to split the odd numbered delegate in different precincts and Hillary won all three, this accounts for her current lead of four delegates.

6 caucuses decided by coin toss. Hillary won all 6. :Wha: She "won" Iowa by a total of 5 delegates.
Not a huge surprise - Team Sanders struggles with basic money principles.

-
I liked your joke!
-
Apparently each of these coin tosses resulted in a 2 delegate swing, from 4-4 to 5-3. So if Bernie had won just half the tosses, he would have won Iowa. Amazing.
I wonder if they used a plain old quarter or one of those commemorative DNC 50-cent pieces with Mao on one side and Lenin on the other? Both had massive foreheads so I'm not sure if the weight would have been off...
-
Ksuw killing it with the communist jokes
-
The coin has Hill on one side and Bill, instead of bernie, on the other. Bernie couldn't tell the diff because all old white ppl look the same.
-
Keeps coming up clinton.
-
It sounds like the Sanders crew didn't know the rules of the coin toss. Instead of heads or tails, they kept calling out "mine"!

The coin toss thing is beyond stupid. The democratic party should have a rule that a candidate can only gain 1 delegate by coin toss. The next tie should go to the loser of the toss.
-
Rock Paper Scissors would be way better. Or maybe a staring contest. Hell, it's Iowa so maybe each side picks a champion and they wrestle for it!

The coin toss thing is beyond stupid. The democratic party should have a rule that a candidate can only gain 1 delegate by coin toss. The next tie should go to the loser of the toss.
Those coin tosses decided county delegates, not the state delegates.
So in my precinct we had 7 county delegates up for grabs. Bernie got 67 votes, Hillary got 47 votes. Somehow using the Iowa Democrats formula Bernie got four of the delegates, Hillary got three (I don't get why it wasn't 5-2 but whatever). If we had a tie then we would have had to toss a coin to decide the 4th county delegate. She won those coin tosses. Ultimately those six coin tosses she won will ultimately result in her possibly getting one more of Iowa's 44 delegate votes at the national convention. I say possibly one because O'Malley's county delegates he won are plenty to move the needle a couple of real delegates in either direction.
All the talk about who won is wholly insignificant, they effectively tied.

Wrong thread trim.
eff her though. I'm not offended because the Iowa they experienced for him to schill for those religious right votes isn't the Iowa I experience. She was deep in the world of old balls diners and pizza ranch weddings. You lay with dogs you get fleas, that's the price of her and her husband's blind ambition, tough tits. I'm sure Melania Trump has the same plight. I wonder how many America's Best Value Inn's that poor baby Heidi had to sleep in.
-
I think my biggest problem with Cruz, is he just looks rough ridin' shady. Not adorable at all.
-
He looks like he very likely dresses in drag and gets really rough ridin' weird in his own private moments.
-
Also it's true Iowa is pretty awful and disgusting (but we already knew that).

Looks like Nevada for the dems will resemble Iowa in results and in clusterfuckness of a state with two close candidates caucusing. Question now is will Hillary smoke Bern in SC like he did her in NH.
First pub exit polls will be out in 30 minutes.
-
73% of the electorate in South Carolina are evangelicals, shouldn't Cruz win by like a million percent?
-
cruz can't win. and i assume he knows that. what he can do, and what i assume is his goal, is go to cleveland with enough support that he gets to play kingmaker.
-
The Republican nomination is real over. If Trump ran away with a state that's 74% evangelical, I don't know which state he's going to lose.
-
different when the non-trump votes start getting split amongst fewer candidates.
-
GOP might make a last ditch effort to ruin Cruz or something
-
different when the non-trump votes start getting split amongst fewer candidates.
He's getting very close to a majority as it stands, it's foolish to assume that he won't pick up support from others. Who are those Ben Carson people going to end up with?
-
It seems like there's something to the idea that anyone who would be willing to vote for Trump is already voting for him.

some poll guy said carson supporters would split fairly evenly. bush supporters - probably very few to trump.
he should get the most delegates, but it is very much up in the air if he can get a majority if it gets down to trump, cruz and rubio.
