Iowa Caucus' are Today (Cruz Called as Winner)

Alternative Facts · 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.

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.

Follow your own logic then, if it was why would they move from a more powerful position?
