A conservative economic organization says its anti-Donald Trump ad campaign is one reason for the billionaire's sinking numbers in Iowa.

More than three weeks ago Club for Growth launched a $1 million TV buy in Iowa.

The ad buy may have helped. In a new poll of likely Iowa caucus participants conducted by Basswood Research, Trump has fallen into second place behind Dr. Ben Carson, 21 to 16 percent. Marco Rubio is five points behind Trump in third place.

The Hill reports the survey questioned 500 likely GOP caucus-goers and Club for Growth commissioned the poll.

The Cheap Labor Express will do whatever it takes to keep us from electing anyone who would stop them.

Why do they call these organizations that are purely out for themselves, and screw the rest of the Americans always labeled as conservative? conservative economic organization are more centrists than conservative by any standard of measure.

Club for Growth said they liked Rubio and Cruz. Where is Cruz on amnesty?

A little squishy from what I understand. He’s for letting illegal aliens stay as legalized “guest workers” but not for a “path to citizenship.”

‘Club for Growth said they liked Rubio and Cruz.’

It does appear they like Cruz. They’ve given him $705,657.

Cruz is not quite as hard line on illegals as is Trump but almost. If you like Trumps stand you’ll probably like Cruz’s

About the only difference is that Cruz would be willing to expand the H1B visa program though if done right that is not much of an issue. It is the abuse of that program that bothers people.

Talked to some Iowa friends today about how they always lie to pollsters and vote for random candidates in the caucus, just for grins.

It seems Club for Growth is still angry Trump didn’t allow himself to be hustled by them.

What a sham organization. Of course most of those types of organizations live off shaking down suckers.

Cruz would expand H1-B visas FIVE FOLD.

His main big dollar donors are all cheap labor express, so you’re not really being factual.

I know it’s heresey knocking Cruz in here, but the facts are there.
