so much for any of those bastards people were getting so hype for

john kasich? chris christie?

who would've thought cruz would last, let alone take iowa

No one expected Kasich or Christie to take Iowa.

The Republican voters of Iowa are an extremely fickle social-conservative group, with large ties to the religious right in Evangelical voters. It's what propelled Huckabee in 08 and Santorum in 12.

Sander's key districts are mostly all reported, if not close to 100%

I personally can't stand her knowing she's played literally every dirty trick there is in the book. She's just as flip-floppy as Trump.

> Ignoring Sander's flip flopping
Not nearly as extreme,

Yet it's still happened - despite him and his supporters saying he doesn't flip flop.

Politics and flip flopping go hand in hand - the politicians are going to (in an ideal system) represent what their constituents want - if one year they want X, and three years later they want Y, it is fully expected that the candidate is going to swing the way their community does to get their support and votes. That is literally how it goes, and every politician is guilty of it.

Goodness me it's literally split right down the middle 50/50. This could go either way, how exciting.

Sanders had more to gain, and he gained it.

They both have won Iowa. NH will go to Sanders, SC will likely go to Clinton

Bernie & Hilldog are getting so painfully close.

It is going to end, in all things considered, a statistical tie.
Do you think this helps or hurts Burnies chances going into the other states?

It may help get his message to Clinton communities (Latinos and Blacks), but I'm not sure yet.

Both men literally hold more power in their current positions than they would in the White House
Explain please? That sounds rather dubious.

The Presidency, although a distinguished title, doesn't hold as much power as people think. He can veto any bill he wants, but ultimately has very little say in how legislation is debated, what the budget will look like, and his policy plan will only be suggestions to Congress - which is extremely difficult when you have a Congress controlled by the other party.

Sanders has more power as a legislator where he can directly shape bills and laws.

Looks like Cruz stumped Trump. Please, please, please let Trump be out.

Rubio is quickly gaining ground in Trump's second place title - within 3 percentage points.

You're funny though, if you think Trump is done.

Trump vs Sanders is a fight i want to see though, it won't happen if she wins the nomination

Both men literally hold more power in their current positions than they would in the White House - I still am not sure why they want the job.
Maybe it's not all about power?

Kinda is.

Serious / Iowa Caucus' are Today (Cruz Called as Winner)
« on: February 01, 2016, 07:20:18 AM »
Today officially kicks off the primary season for the 2016 Presidential campaign, with the caucusing in Iowa set to begin in just under 12 hours (Roughly 7pm CST, 8PM EST).

In one of the final polls this week, both races were extremely close - Trump leads Cruz by 5%, while for the Democrats, Clinton is leading by 3%. Rubio is at 15% for the Republicans, O'Malley is at 4% for the Democrats.

O'Malley is going to become crucial in the end for one of the other two candidates - if he does not meet the threshold of support (15%, I believe?), then his supporters are strongly urged to re-caucus and pick one of the other two candidates. If this were to happen, it will strongly impact the final polling numbers for Clinton and Sanders.

So yeah. I'll keep this thread updated as much as I can throughout the day with predictions, entry data, etc.

Welcome to the start of a very long 9 months.
