Ugh, the most disappointing of all primary results tonight. Canadian Weasel stumping Trump and Hillary beating Bernie just barely. Just ugh.

I wonder who we'll see Santorum and Hucklefuck endorse once they drop out. May be Cruz if he 's the evangelical leader, but everyone hates him.

I stand by my bold prediction that Iowa would determine whether or not Donald Trump will be the nominee. And so I believe he will not.

American fascism has not been defeated. They just thought Trump wasn't sufficiently committed enough to 2016 GOP fascism so they chose Cruz instead.

Cruz isn't a fascist, he's a down the line Christian Conservative free-market constitutionalist racist type, and that maybe worse. Montasque fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Feb 2, 2016 |

AllanGordon posted:It was pointless for Trump to put too many resources into Iowa. They were the state that nominated Santorum and Hucklefuck. It was Cruz's to win hopefully by a huge margin but all he did was finish a few points ahead of Trump. Except Trump pushed super hard for Iowa. He went for the Palin endorsement and other shenanigans. He wanted to beat Cruz and he wanted it bad. He failed and now all that circus he caused was a waste of time. All those rallies, the movie screening with caucus instructions, he could have gotten this result coasting.

America is well and truly hosed when people have more sympathy for idiot evangelicals fighting a lost culture war and empty-suit-loving greedy fucks than working-class whites who have been abandoned by both parties. The kid-gloves treatment Cruz and Rubio by the media is pretty sickening given their actual policies and generally slimelike nature. It would be funny if it weren't outright classist.

Shouldn't this thread be 10 pages longer just for all the apologies to Joementum for riding his rear end the last 6 months? There must be dozens of people who are due to eat crow for their preemptive gloating.

Compared to the c listers who lived in Iowa or Cruz who staked on Iowa it wasn't hard at all. Like he did more than Rubio but that's about it. Palin endorsement helps him everywhere there are Palin fans. Anyway I don't think he would have done as well in Iowa as he did without all the work he put in. He had a lot to do to convince the corn fuckers that he believed in Jesus or w/e and wouldn't ban ethanol (which Cruz is against lol).

I want to win , I push hard for everything. That's the attitude and energy you need to save this country. See you in New Hampshire. Let Canada Ted have some fun preaching to the blind and stupid. So stupid, Iowans. 20 years of losers.

I was halfway through quoting all the posts in just the last week describing how terrible Joementum and Nate Silver were, but then I realized those people would just go back to shitposting about other things so  EDIT: Worst in my mind was just the other day someone posted "Nate Silver is having a breakdown on Twitter". Yikes.

So the delegates are 8/7/6/2/1 for Cruz/Trump/Rubio/Carson/Paul, and 21/21 for Clinton/Bernie. Trump is only really down by one delegate.

I apologize to Joementum, though I never even said a mean thing to him, will make it up for the slackers. Just saying, Marco may not go to Senate votes a lot, but he is a cool guy and the POTUS race is much more important than a job he is leaving. Marco is good and cool. Also, glad I held up on my MAGA hat purchase, Trump is going to be put down, LIKE A DOG. I love you all and would like to thank Jesus, truthfully, Trump was stealing the GOD from the GOP, now Marco will make America Christian Again. He really is a great guy. RUBIO! *leaves forums for the night*

Cruz and the no hopers are just jesus grifters. They don't campaign in Iowa to be president. I mean, I know I am going out on a limb to assume Cruz is transitioning to wing nut welfare already. As much as a poo poo he is he should be smart enough to know he doesn't have a national platform. But I thought before the results trump was going too hard for this. Iowa isn't worth it. But the momentum narrative was too important for him. Palin is a falling star, if I understand. She has fans all over, and people who have disowned her too. Nate did an article on her gradually dipping favorables even in the party.

Isn't Trump up by like 20 points in NH? I mean, I know the media narrative will be that he "lost" (even though he only got 1 less delegate than Cruz) but surely that much of a swing is unlikely.

Trump is not out of the running, but the importance of Iowa is that his 'aura of invulnerability' is totally crushed. All the polls had him leading, yet he loses - the next time he starts gloating over a poll, all another candidate can just point out that he lost Iowa despite polling well for it. Which will work against Trump, because he's built himself up on Being A Winner. The results are a real blow.
