Elections 2016 GOP Nevada Caucus Thread

"We're going to load up GITMO with bad dudes!"

Trump must have hated that game.

Yes, Friday on CNN

Well, I usually watch FOX, but flipped over to CNN and ads are saying the debate is Thursday.

i have no idea why Trump should even participate in the up coming debate. It's over. He might aswell transition to a general campaign mode.

Exactly 400 votes seperate Cruz from Rubio.

Cruz needs the momentum going into the debate and Super Tuesday of not coming in 3rd, two states in a row, losing both to Rubio.

 

[NelmarksGhost]

Cruz passed Rubio for awhile. Now Rubio is up by 19 votes.

In the GOP primaries and caucuses on Super Tuesday the party should ask the voters who their second pick would be. That way they would know where the votes would go if a candidate dropped out.

Trump wins N.H, S.C, and Nevada. He has big leads in almost all the Super Tuesday states. He'll have 10 wins in a row and Rubio will still be giving his second place I lost but won speeches.

That could be a big deal when considering Texas.

There were about 200 Latino voters.....

Kasich behind Carson? Holy fuck. What are republicans thinking?

Unfortunately, the portion of the party that engages in elitist nonsense like thinking has become a discrete minority.

The party has gone completely off the hinges. They created the trump monster and its going to be the destruction of the party.

Must've been a small caucus if 9% were Hispanic and 200 were there. That doesn't match up with the totals of around 70k voters. That would be about 6300 Hispanic voters. Post your source or clarify your statement

 

[Diamond Jim]

Trump actually picked up two congressional endorsements today.

It was actually meant as a bit of a joke. But I am taking it from http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/nevada-caucus-results-donald-trump-2016-republican-primary/ where they discuss the entrance poll sample size being tiny.

Indeed, the entrance poll had Trump beating Rubio 45 percent to 28 percent among Hispanics. But keep in mind that the sample size on that result is somewhere between 100 and 200 people. That means the margin of sampling error for the Hispanic subgroup is near +/- 10 percentage points (or even higher). Perhaps more importantly, just 8 percent of Republican voters were Hispanic (or 1 percent of the Nevadan Hispanic population), and they are not politically representative of the larger Hispanic community.

Ahh, well obviously the hispanic voting population wasn't close to 200

El Donald es en fuego!!!!!!!!

No, still a tiny sample size though. Though I have been saying for a long time that "hispanics" are not going to vote for Rubio just because he is "hispanic". Cubans do not equal Mexicans.
