why is iowa of all places so important

We must know what the white people want, which is why we beg Iowa and New Hampshire to tell us. Iowa goes first because He Who Walks Behind The Rows must be heard.

Last time Romney got punked by Santorum. This time Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are battling for first place. It's already at least as insane.

They also disenfranchise anyone who can't physically be at a certain place exactly by 7pm due to work, health issues, child issues, etc. Sorry folks!

This is my guess as to the cause of the most hilarity tonight. Trump supporters showing up late and not being let in. Also Trump supporters causing a giant ruckus when they've got to listen to all the boring procedure poo poo before they can make 'Merca great again.

I don't think anyone who doesn't care that much about politics is going to turn up to a caucus.

I believe 2008 holds the current record for caucus turnout, and a massive 10% or so of the total population turned out.

I'm going to laugh so hard if this is a new record but it's all on the Democratic side and Trump comes in 3rd.

Hoping Trump and Bernie win tonight, Trump more of course. Also, in the case of a recount I voted yes for Trump getting stumped by accident, please change my vote to no if it comes down to it.

Nah, the pro wish is Cruz takes Iowa, Trump takes New Hampshire, and by the time SC is done they're the only ones left on the Republican side other than Rand Paul's quadrennial genetic drive to grift.

Yeah, Trump supporters tend to be crazy side conservative. They're not moderate folks coming out because they have a perfectly mainstream loathing of Mexicans and Muslims.

So on the Iowa results page, why the hell did they chose a slightly different shade of red than Clinton for MOM? There's 3 people, go wild with the colors. The Republicans have way more people and far less closeness in color.

I'm sure a lot of you took my posts about caucuses being great tonight as sarcastic, but they were not. This is a much better process than letting states run it which all state parties should adopt.

Having to argue over your vote is totally cool. Unless that results in my candidate losing, in which case it's undemocratic as all gently caress.
