Cruz wins Iowa!

[Indeependent]

FYI...

Hillary 49.9
Bernie 49.4
Whoa

It will be easier to defeat Sanders in a general election as Hillary has an army of slick talkers behind her.

it'll be interesting. you essentially have a three way tie with the republicans that only accounts for about 75% of the vote.
can you say that you really 'won' when you get less than 30% of the vote?

Plurality is valid.

of course.
but with the vote so fractured i think it's hard to say that anyone is out of it, or that anyone is the clear leader.

Seems like Mr. Trump's gamble to skip the last debate didn't pay off.

WINNING!

^ Stupid dumbass ignorant question.

YES, you can say you won. Because, you won.

And the other guys lost.

In losing, Rubio kind of won also.

In coming in 2d, Trump firmly lost.

CNN is saying Trump leads by a small margin.

They do?

They're still looking for the Malaysian airline too

 

[Jroc]

Cruz is following exactly in the footsteps of Santorum & Huckabee.

Huckabee announcing he's suspending his campaign.

His voters will go to Cruz

must be watching a different cnn than me.

 

[mdk]

The only candidate Christie is beating is Santorum. Fucking ouch!

 

[skye]

Who knows what the Microsoft "Gates adoring Hillary Beast" is showing up there...

I have big doubts of all this arrangement...

 

[Jroc]

the ground game matters

Iowa was always a close call for Trump.
The media outlets are probably having a heart attack that he did so well.

Maybe there really is a "Communist News Network"?

Cruz will get Carson voters

 

[sonic]

Crazy times when Evangelicals vote for the candidate who lies more than any other candidate in the race.

oh i agree that there are still winners and losers.

but if you're cruz, and you want to claim victory, i think the first thing i say as trump is that 70% voted against him. of course that can be turned right around on any candidate, but with the vote as fractured as it is it'll be interesting to see what happens going forward. who drops out and endorses whom will really make a difference

He was expected to win. He came close to third. Trump lost the battle of expectations in Iowa and in turn failed a key political test.

One thing for sure is that Trump doesn't need financing to continue campaigning.
