Elections 2016 Iowa Caucus Thread

[Mondo Freaks]

you guys 100% sure? it clearly states "votes" and delgates at zero

following the same table cruz for 50k delegates? no way how many delegates are in iowa? i thought it was just a handful

i think clinton and sanders are literally below 1k in actual votes

ahh you are correct sir. People were too busy picking up their free Big Mac.

Im not sure if I could be talking about the same thing but CNN has been stating multiple times the Democratic caucus doesn't release vote totals. You are seeing delegate counts.

He really did just follow Santorum's blueprint. Percentages wise Cruz did do a bit better though. 28% to 25%.

Yea, Santorum was surging late though. Maybe if he was given another week, it would've peaked like those past canidates that peaked before. 2012 really was just Romney v. Anti-Romney though. Cruz always had Walker and Carson as his stiffest threats for the state and they both dropped before.

As someone who has been a delegate in Iowa, trust me. These are the delegate numbers that will go on to county level.

Somebody in the Cruz campaign get the hook out...cut his mike off and get him on the plane to NH.

With 93% in 49.8% Clinton to 49.6% Sanders

Well Bernie has a huge lead in NH, so he can easily overtake her in delegates for at least a period of time.

But she has a much bigger percentages in the southern state primaries, especially in the black vote.

If he won Iowa tonight and NH later, that would be a big boost in his momentum, and would have hampered hers.

Is pro-establishment the opposite of conservative?

The term itself is becoming far two broad cause it often has two different meanings yet seems to be used interchangibly which isn't correct.

1. Is favored/accepted with party leaders
2. Is moderate

They don't always tie. For people thinking Rubio is moderate cause he's in the establishment lane, that's not the case. Other than Trump, all the candidates with any traction (Cruz/Rubio) are farther right than McCain, GW Bush and Romney. Jeb and Kasich are more the sense of establishment and also moderate.

I doubt any of them are on Sherdog.

Iowa, wtf....

 

[MicroBrew]

Bernie's polling is more impressive than Hillary's considering the amount of resources, connections and Dem establishment support Hillary has behind her.

Not surprising.

I guess not with the way polls look right now. If you do take Romney's percentage last election or all four of the establishment's percentages (Bush, Christie, Kasich, Rubio), they beat Trump in NH. It definitely is more establishment out of the first four states you'd agree? I really don't know how to pin down SC though.

I think they're pretty independent with a strong libertarian leaning.
As for the GOP polling, there wasn't a "none of the above" option, so what else could they do.
Sanders, Paul, McCain (back when he was the Maverick and not a fucking sellout), Dean have all done well in NH.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Iowa, wtf....

is this for real? Does Iowa have a statute for that rule?

 

[Steve-French]

Why do these dicks on CNN keep saying Sanders should give his speech and claim the moral victory? It just got closer and he might win.

 

[theBLADE1]

Clinton 49.8%
Sanders 49.6% with 93% of the voter precincts tallied. We still have a race here people.

Caucuses are weird. Just vote like normal states.

Huntsman should've gained more traction then in NH in 2012. Wtf is their problem

Do you think independents having to choose between voting in the Dem or GOP primary is huge then since it could really take Trumps votes away if people try to vote Bernie?

Nothing to see here folks, move along.

I saw that too but I dared not say anything because people would call me a Bernie Sanders conspiracy theorist.
