As we will do with each primary contest, this is the dedicated thread to the results from the primary caucus in the state of Iowa today.
Forty delegates are up for grabs. Delegates are distributed ¹proportionately. Caucusing begins at 8:00pm ET. We can expect results from the first-reporting precinct caucuses around 8:45pm Eastern Time tonight.
There is no Democrat primary caucus in Iowa this year as the DNC changed the primary contest. A few people, me included, have long suspected the DNC primary change was not necessarily about the DNC, but rather a change to provide space for Iowa and New Hampshire Democrat activists to influence the first two republican primaries as a block Trump strategy. We await the data to see what happens.

¹Delegates are proportionally allocated to Presidential contenders based on the statewide vote. Each candidate receives (candidate’s statewide vote) × 40 ÷ (total statewide vote) delegates. Round fractions to the nearest whole number. If there are too few delegates allocated, the candidate nearest the rounding threshold receives the additional delegate. If too many delegates are allocated, the candidate furthest the threshold loses a delegate.
Something symbolic happening:
Don’t worry he’s got boots made for walk-in
Walking in stilts like his is no better in snow than are high heels on a lady.
He’s such a contemptible little dork.
He can push the bus too
Ankle deep for DeSantis is 16 inches.
Had he been doing his job in Florida, that never would have happened.

Now that’s a stage
Fox called it for Trump at 8:30.
Yes 🇺🇸!! And AP called at 7:30!!
I just emphasized the hour because some here were thinking he wouldn’t hold the victory.
So long as they don’t break out the suitcases. No broken water pipes tonight!
President Trump just took the stage on RSBN:

GREAT That POTUS TRUMP Has HIS TEAM Up on Stage with Him !
I like to see Don Jr and Eric flanking President Trump on the stage. I was never a fan of Ivanka, I don’t know what happened to her but she’s apparently too soft for politics and should have opted out in 2016.
“I was never a fan of Ivanka, I don’t know what happened to her…”
Ivanka was primarily involved in social reforms and other “cross-party” initiatives. She is an attractive woman who wielded an olive branch.
It is probably not a coincidence she is now absent and the wartime consiglieres are on stage.
She was horribly naive if she thought an olive branch would be useful. Just before the general election Trump told the world he was being wiretapped, and prior to that was the great attempt to gaslight the nation by blasting us all non-stop for more than a year with the message that Trump couldn’t possibly win. The Democrats are Nazis. They don’t respond to olive branches.
To clarify, I was suggesting President Trump employed Ivanka as a sort of goodwill ambassador to voters concerned about social issues. I am not claiming this was a good or a successful idea, merely that was Ivanka’s role, that she was the baby-kisser. I do not think it had anything to do with the Clintons or any other political figures.
Swapping out Ivanka for the sons suggests a second term would have a somewhat different tone and emphasis.
President Trump himself said he did not expect the level of enmity he faced once he was inaugurated. He thought the demons – although he did no know they were demons at the time. He thought they would rally behind the President for the good of the country – he said that. Ivanka with way less experience with the Washinton sharks at the time probably thought the same.
I know she is/was friends with Chelsea, but using an olive branch on the Clintons et al is like making friends with a tiger using a steak. First it eats the steak, then it eats you.
I am wondering if its Ivanka that’s out or Jared, and she is collateral damage?
You know what? I don’t care. At least his family isn’t trying to stab him in the back. He trusts them and uplifts them, the way a father should. His victory is theirs as well. That’s how success should work in families, not the perverted way the Bidens do it. The kids have put in a lot of time on the campaign. And why not? It’s really NICE to see some solidarity. It’s nice to see old fashioned traditional family values. MAGA, all around.
I seem to remember some Trump woman (Mary?) being particularly nasty and vindictive towards your real President. Who is she and why so bitter?
Some niece IIRC.
Product of a poisoned mind.
Jealousy and envy eat at a person’s very soul.
AP says Chris Christie got 32 votes. Maybe he should re-enter the race.
But then again…”Other” has 74 votes! 😂🤣😂
Probably the team that worked the free buffets for the candidates. They all lost their jobs when he bowed out and want to work again….
LOL. 😂
Trump’s speech is 100% positive and he congratulated the other candidates. Good for him. He won, he doesn’t need to rub it into their faces. 🙂
The Hawkeye Cauci 2024! RIP Rush Limbaugh.
I miss Rush every day…😔
Iowa spoke loud and clear, and the deep state said DAMN.
Have the losers given their loser speeches yet?
Sundance correct again on demo-nimrattas
Yah, well those two counties flipped later and Trump won them. But clearly the university cities had some Democrat caucus-crashing, for sure.
i see that now !
Those Democrats for Haley votes will torpedo any acceptance of her by the MAGA majority.
Nikki will be the Democrat nominee when they pull Joe. It’s crazy town right?
How stupid are these idiot kids? You would think after the Obama and Biden years they would wake up. If we didn’t have to suffer with them, I would almost hope they got what they asked for.
Apparently they haven’t noticed that they have less beer money.
They only “know” what their phone screen tells them.
These kids have been radicalized for a decade by school, the commie news networks and social media.

Trump Gives Speech After Winning Iowa Caucus; Ramaswamy To End Campaign
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/iowa-caucus-kicks-2024-primary-season-trump-tops-temps-drop
He needs to be heated up over the clot shots now
No need to. He endorsed Trump. As smarmy as Vivek is, the dude is a smooth talker and can be a great surrogate for Trump.
With a trustworthy Trump assistant to operationalize, monitor and report back. 😉
President Trump: “Vivek is not MAGA”
Haley, Desantis and Vivek together on plane out of Iowa.
Someone needs to get Ron! some tissues.
The uniparty / James woods about political discourse on X 😂😂😂😂
😂🤣😂. So true!
Ramaswamy drops out. Endorses Trump:
https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/01/15/iowa-caucus/vivek-ramaswamy-drops-out-00135731
I’m glad he endorsed Trump but how could he not after copying him the whole time?
I just didn’t like his shtick – vote for me to save Trump. Pretty dang smarmy.
I figured he would endorse President Trump. He really disliked Nikki. I think he is going to make a good surrogate.
And I say we welcome him into the fold. Yeah I know he’s still not to be totally trusted, but if he’s out there loudly standing up for Trump/us, I don’t see how that can hurt. Or am I just being naive?
You’re being Niave. President Trump: “Vivek is not MAGA” 1/14/24
Exactly, I don’t trust him at all. Probably a plant. Remember who gave him money way back when. No way, a sneaky snake.
It’s 10:30 PM CST and Fake Fox News has stopped showing their Iowa county map.
I guess it has something to do with the cabbage patch boy saying something about Trump winning every county.
Too funny!
Oops! They are showing it now. It does show Trump winning every county!
As they say in the movies,
THIS IS GREAT!
I can only speak for myself but I am so PROUD and GRATEFUL for all you Iowans literally putting on your boots, braving sub-zero temperatures, and telling the deep state your voices WILL be heard and to go screw themselves!
You not only spoke for yourselves and Iowans, you spoke for the majority of the country and the world!!
From the bottom of my heart and my welled up eyes, THANK YOU!
Well said Sophie and so agree!
Nikki Haley just beat Trump by one vote in Johnson County (University of Iowa).
Wow.
Nikki was hoping the Democrat urban and academic vote would carry her like it does the Dems. Sorry, Birdbrain, you have no chance!!!!
But it is still only 99% of votes counted, so still won’t be sure until AP can say 100% counted.
That ONE VOTE was probably a dead person.
😂😂😂
Recount it was democrats crossing over
Eight days to the NH primary!
Oh my God, will you look at Johnson county? Haley had been slowly gaining on Trump, and now with 100% supposedly reported it’s…
Haley 1,271
Trump 1,270
Right! 🙂
Vivek is out! Suspending his campaign.
If this hasn’t been talked about before. It’ll bring it up as a factor in future races:
Qatar (a major supplier which can away others) just suspended shipments of oil & gas through the Red Sea.
Because it turns out lobbing a few Tomahawks alongside the “mighty” (we’ll send one ship maybe, trust us bro) armadas of America’s allies. In the general direction of an old established movement of Shia Islamist fanatics, who’d sooner see their cites bombed flat & children die of cholera.
Before submitting to infadels or the “wrong sort” of Muslims. Didn’t do jack!
No-one was impressed. Which brings me to other matters:
“Iraqi” Kurdistan is also getting lit up, two senior members of the ruling clan (sort of) aligned with the US/Israel. Got blown to pieces.
More attacks on US bases in Iraq proper and in Syria. Iran taking responsibility, claim to be targeting “ISIS”. Who knew the IRGC had a sense of humour?
Let’s go Brandon eh…
If only elections were done this way. I believe votes are counted at the caucus venues in front of the voters. And as long as you are in line by the designated finish time, you get to vote.
I saw one report that just over 50% of the first timers were voting Trump !!
Domino effect & Snowball effect. 270+
On 1/15/2024, between 7:55-8:13 PM 50 votes were removed from Trump’s Iowa total.
Good catch.
Thank you, Iowa!
Congratulations President Trump for winning every county!
MAGA to the max!
Trump 2024!
Xi big scared.
Maybe we should start a pool and sell squares? Pick your date for the inevitable manufactured crisis. Pick two dates, the first pre-election interference, the second pre inauguration. 4/20 and 12/7.
“Vivek Is NOT MAGA”
–President Donald Trump
From a friend, I looked at a map of the counties in Iowa. Trump was one vote short of winning all 99 counties. That’s statistically more significant than the 51%. A good indication that his support is very widespread
