Sanders is close. Hopefully Hillary can survive.
2016 US Presidential Elections | Trump Wins

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Even a close defeat is a win for Trump. He gets to prove he has real voter support, and even in a state with such a high evangelical voter pop. he competed strongly with Cruz.

Started by the guys (and girls) from TYT (The Young Turks) it's got a couple of States signed up and some more in the process of signing up, they have an awful long way to go, but it's a start. Add to that Bernie's popularity with the younger voters and his refreshing honesty and you can see an awful lot of people are sick and tired of it all, could change be afoot?
No, half his speech is self-praise about his poll numbers. He can't do that if he isn't #1
Sanders now less than 3% behind. Considering all the Hillary supporters have probably now all gone to bed, there's hope the remaining count has him usurp her.
Not a good night for Trump. His whole campaign is about showing off about how well he's doing. Losing here will burst the bubble.
Rubio the biggest winner.
Rubio the biggest winner.
Pretty much this.
lol....Trump now 4% behind Cruz. Rubio lurking at 21%
How much of this was because Trump didn't turn up at the last debate?
Concise, well-researched article. Sums it up.

Cruz ahead is not funny.
He is the worst of all options.
If I had to make a supervillain I'd end up with him.
It wont matter what happens in Iowa. Trump is murdering him in most other states and will surely go super negative on him after this.
why do people hate cruz?
I'm not american so I have only informed myself about hillary, bernie and trump.
is cruz really worse than trump?

Will be interesting to see how he handles Rubio after tonight. He hasn't really gone after Rubio yet
I think Cruz will attempt to ignore Rubio and pretend he (Cruz) is the leader of the pack with Trump as the alternative.
This is uncomfortably close.
I meant Trump. Trump will surely see that Rubio is the dangerman after tonight. He hasn't attacked Rubio at all so far.
Sanders is now just 1.4% behind Clinton. With every new set of votes coming in he is narrowing the gap.
1.2% now. Come on Bernie
They say equally crazy things. I think a lot of people know Trump is only saying those crazy things to get elected. I think people are afraid that Cruz legitimately believes what he says, especially in terms of social conservative positions on marriage and abortion. He also has come out strongly against Iran, but its tough to say whether he is just pandering to the anti-Obama coalition. He also doesn't believe that climate change is occuring, or at least that it is being caused by human action.
Conclusion - Trump is a wildcard that people are entertained by; Ted Cruz is a Southern Baptist
Oh man, I hope Sanders nabs this. Either way, he's clearly not a joke in this race... Hillary's going to have to earn it, and considering that Bernie still has pockets of people who just don't know who he is, which is something that will change over the course of the primary, he has room to grow.
O'Malley's crawled into a hole
Good to see O'Malley up to 1% now before he calls it quits.
1% difference, pretty incredible.
I guess he will suspend his campaign after today.
He can't possibly have believed that Iowa would see him rise to become an actual challenger.It's already been announced that he'll suspend his campaign.
Rubio could finish second here.
Bernie winning would be terrific, and a wonderful first victory for grassroots democracy. What people see in Hillary I don't know.
Will a strong showing and a narrow loss help Sanders? Or is a loss really bad news ?
Rubio could finish second here.
If he does, and Hillary holds her lead, it's the worst of all worlds.
Rubio's narrative is set to take off after tonite.
The conventional wisdom is that he would need a win to boost his numbers in the next few states where he isn't as recognised as she is.
Cruz wins Iowa
Trump 24% Rubio 23%
(if this continues.) (please don't continue)0.9% between Clinton and Sanders.
81% of the votes in.
81% of the votes in.
What happened to winning so much it would be boring?
Maybe this result will help his credibility if he ever decides to run to be prime minister of Canada, where he is eligible to stand.
Yep. If he picks a decent VP nominee like say Kasich, its a done deal.
You sure a strong showing in the US would be an advantage in Canadia?
