**Official 2016 Iowa Caucus Thread**

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

If you're a Republican or Democrat and can go in Iowa, then go participate! I don't care who you're voting for. Go set some records tonight in turnout!

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

CNN and Twitter reporting high turnout, so we'll see...

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

A lot of new registrations

 

[The Tradition]

So, could I walk up to one of these deals, register and caucus without proving who I am or even if I reside in the state of Iowa?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

CNN is at the Coralville location for the Democrats. Poor O'Malley, nobody in his section....

 

[Funky Bunch]

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Guess they are saying everywhere is going to easily top 2012 from Ankeny to Greenfield

Yes you can register there, even 17 year olds can participate if they will be 18 by election day.

It's called the " Chicago Clause"

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I am calling it now, there is going to be a record Republican turnout

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

There are lines out the doors for both Republicans and Democrats. Even Democratic precincts are reporting 50-100 more people than what they expected.

 

[TunzaHawk]

Violating fire code at my location.

This. I'm in Coralville at new kirkwood center. While there are a lot of republicans there are a lot more dems downstairs.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Fox News is projecting Martin O'Malley to finish 3rd

Fox News is projecting Martin O'Malley to finish 3rd

Huge if true.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Coralville site just passed #400, said they thought they would have 250 maybe 300

 

[ANYCHawk]

Ankeny hates them some trump

 

[Err.]

Looking good for Hillary so far.

Dem results

 

[ANYCHawk]

Ankeny using an ISU bucket....so screw them.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Ankeny hates them some trump

I am interested in seeing how many people switched to vote AGAINST Trump

 

[ChrisVarick]

Looking good for Hillary so far.

Dem results

Up 4% to a 100 year old socialist. Doing fantastic!

 

[ChrisVarick]

Can't believe that Trump has gone from looking like a winner in Iowa in early polls to getting beat by Cruz. I guess the Bilderberg endorsement is more important than the Beathard endorsement. Alex Jones predicted this yesterday!

 

[The Tradition]

Up 4% to a 100 year old socialist. Doing fantastic!

It blows my mind how anyone could support that scandal-ridden hag.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Looks like Cruz is going to win this

I am surprised at how well Cruz is running in Iowa City and Des Moines

No kidding. She is an absolutely horrendous person with zero core convictions.

 

[Pepperman]

No kidding. She is an absolutely horrendous person with zero core convictions.

Zero real world accomplishments as well. But don't worry, the dems all "really like sanders the most" anyway.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

From what I am seeing, it looks like people may have abandoned some of the other candidates and voted for Cruz to beat Trump

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Is cruz winning by cheating and having the illuminati carry his water

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I don't know about that, but he is running better in Davenport, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids early on than I thought he would.

 

[Pepperman]

I'd say Rubio is the big winner tonight

 

[ANYCHawk]

Cnn loves taking about Ames. They keep mentioning the college kids. Boy if only there was another major college in Iowa.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I am surprised at how well Trump is running in Western Iowa right now...

 

[ottumwan in tx]

If happy gilmore is at zero percent wouldn't that be a sign to maybe drop out?

That's why a caucus and not primary.

 

[markfromj]

Santorum showed up at my caucus.

 

[gamecockshawkeyes]

My precinct met at Brown Deer golf course clubhouse in Coralville. 400 for Democrats upstairs. The full room of Republicans downstairs.pretty lively meeting upstairs. And, I got home by 8 PM.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

What happened to the bern support

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

He already did drop out, didn't he even endorse Bush?

They're big fans of fantastic water.

 

[IMCC965]

I can attest that the room I was in was PACKED. All the other rooms were packed as well.
