CNN calling it a 'big win' for her if she wins. LOL, CNN.

It is, a win here basically ends the whole thing.

 

[thepotatoman]

Yeah...Hillary can take Rubio. I will laugh so hard if he beats her, though.

Yeah, it'll be really funny watching all those people lose their healthcare after republicans end the filibuster and repeal the ACA.

Can you say with a straight face Sanders would beat Rubio?

Rubio doing well is bad for both of the dem candidates.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Marco Rubio reminds me of those rich douches at college. Like more than cruz.

Oh boy.

 

[Jarmel]

I think a lot of the turnout on the Republican side was anti-Trump. Both Rubio and Cruz are significantly overperforming.

It's been down for hours if you didn't already have it up.

 

[kingkitty]

if Hillary and Trump lose, then Selzer truly was the false prophet.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

CNN calling it a 'big win' for her if she wins. LOL, CNN.

Its super close but remember Clinton got THIRD in Iowa back in '08.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Rubio's pivot on immigration back to the gang of eight is going to be legendary.

 

[Poodlestrike]

It's been down for hours if you didn't already have it up.

It was back up again earlier. Wonder what the problem is?

 

[Makai]

MSNBC's focus on Rubio is laughable. Spoiler alert: Rubio focusing on three counties isn't going to work.

Wrecked

 

[NYCmetsfan]

btw i still think its hilarious the Cruz and Trump get over 50% and rubio is winner

I'm not sure - I hadn't really considered Rubio. I think Hillary can destroy Rubio...so 4 more years of nothing for the left, I guess.

 

[PantherLotus]

1. Rubiomentum was real, eh.

2. How does Bush exit the race with any dignity when he either throws in for Rubio or ... nobody?

3. Tonight is a good night if you believe in politics.

Destroy? He is young and Hispanic. That's potent.

 

[Manmademan]

I've had it up forever. It's back up now though.

 

[Makai]

"Dem race is so tight you could bounce a dime off of it"

THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

 

[PBY]

Destroy? He is young and Hispanic. That's potent.

He's a R. That's enough for her not to "destroy" any candidate.

He's a REAL threat and y'all are crazy to think otherwise.

 

[Mike M]

Rubio's "you can have a campaign HQ at Starbucks" strategy is actually paying off.

 

[benjipwns]

Polk (Des Moines) just flipped over to Rubio: 26.1% to 25.7% Cruz to 22.1% Trump.

Rubio's at 22.9% statewide vs. 24.4% for Trump.

 

[RustyNails]

Ben Carson's campaign is saying that Carson flew to Florida because he needed to change clothes. This is real.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Good point from Robert Costa:

Rubio strategist Todd Harris guided Joni Ernst to victory in Iowa's 2014 Senate race. Knows the state, how to turn out suburban Rs.

 

[Avon Barksdale]

I'm still not on a Latino being the Repulican nominee, a Cuban from Miami nonetheless.

Rubio only 1.5% behind Trump. Yeeeesh

my favorite thing about your posts re: the general election is that they're literally the exact opposite of what literally everyone else thinks

 

[PantherLotus]

4. lol imagine a GE with Sanders vs Rubio. Imagine dems rejecting the establishment while Repubs lurch to the center. now that would be a disaster.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

BTW can we all go back to the posts of me leading the "Rubio gonna be the nominee charge?"

 

[PBY]

Tonight is a disaster.

A complete and total disaster.

Like Mondale vs. Reagan?

Honestly Rubio is not that centerish.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Miami Cubans are mostly republicans, especially the older crowd that vote.

 

[Officerrob]

Down to 1.0%, 82% reporting

 

[Frank the Great]

Rubio within 1% of Trump.

Godammnit.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

How the hell are people still underestimating Rubio after his performance tonight?

 

[Cheebo]

Rubio might pass Trump for second place.

 

[Makai]

Rubio might pass Trump for second place.

Yeah. PoliGAF wrecked.

No, not at all. But centerish compared to the two presumed front runners. Just juxtapose that with Sanders overtaking Clinton for some real lolz.

 

[Y2Kev]

Amazing that Iowa is picking the most reasonable Republican after their last two cycles of crazytalk. Kinda shows you how bad Romney sucked.

 

[Cesare Borgia]

Rubio might pass Trump for second place.

If this happens I wouldn't be stunned at all if Trump destroys his campaign with an ugly speech that finally hurts him. He has to be embarrassed right now. And he's unstable enough to fire people before NH...

 

[SmokeMaxX]

I hope one of the Democratic candidates wins by 1/10th of 1%.

 

[RustyNails]

Rubio is not going to pass TRUMP!!!

 

[PBY]

This is a real concern.

ELEVEN VOTES FOR GILMORE

 

[cartoon_soldier]

What everyone else knows



Like Mondale vs. Reagan?

Honestly Rubio is not that centerish.

He isn't. But he will be compared to the other GOP of Cruz/Trump and will be portrayed as a centrist.

 

[Plinko]

The overreactions in this thread are amazing.

 

[Makai]

We should have lowered the voting age to 6 so Trump could win.

 

[PBY]

The overreactions in this thread are amazing.

Maybe.

I understand I'm careening. But if the GOP wins the White House- it was because of tonight in large part.

 

[Manmademan]

ELEVEN VOTES FOR GILMORE

"other" with 106. There is a real possibility "Deez Nutz" has beaten Jim Gilmore in iowa

Maybe.

go home dude, you're drunk

 

[Roland_Gunner]

He isn't. But he will be compared to the other GOP of Cruz/Trump and will be portrayed as a centrist.

Yes, Rubio looking strong is the worst possible outcome tonight.
