I wouldn’t read too much into an Iowa victory. What plays well there won’t carry over to other states.

The way i saw it whoever has won Iowa in years past usually failed to become POTUS.

Amnesty Boy Rubio is the obvious Cheap Labor Express candidate at this point

I support Trump. I will happily vote for Cruz if he somehow gets nominated (although I don’t think he can win the general).

I will not vote for Rubio. Hopefully, the next several primaries will split among the GOPe stars. I’ve said all along Kasich would finish second in NH.

I’m deathly afraid that one of them (Rubio, Kasich, Bush) will break out and eventually get the nomination.

Trump has fans. Fans are not always voters.

As a Trump supporter, I hope that this impresses him to stick to issues, the issues that propelled him to where he is, to slow it down and make his points.

I still don’t know why, for instance, that he doesn’t gig Cruz over voting for the Obama agenda in the form of TPA and the Corker bill.

Don’t like how the caucus works. Should be straight voting. Too easy to manipulate and I think that’s what happened and Rubio got to be where he is.

Cruz got 43% of those who self-describe as very conservative, to Trump’s 21%.

If Trump won Iowa, it would have been a coronation ceremony on FR for oir next President.

But Cruz won, so it's not a big deal, doesn't mean anything, just an empty symbol that Trump worked really, really hard to win just for fun.

Ok so living in Iowa for 3 weeks spining all his time talking about his “Christan faith” in his stump speeches and ads worked 1 time for Rubio in a state that has 61% white evangelical voters.

Let see how well he does when he cannot preach to the choir but needs to have cross over appeal.

Trump’s biggest problem is his mouth. He just doesn’t understand when to shut it when he’s ahead.

All that I have to say is that IOWA values are vastly different from TEXAS values.....it it clearly shows.

Cruz is a politician and Trump is a manager. We don’t need politicians...we need managers.

Big money, big talk, and a big mouth didn't get it done for Trump.
He might win NH, but he will lose in SC and any of the Southern states.

There is where the conservative base that elected Reagan will come from and Iowa is just the beginning of the awakening.

Trump got half of the “very conservative” voters compared to Cruz. That is telling.

Look for an avalanche of establishment money to flood into Rubio now. He’ll suck the air out of what’s left of the 2 percenters including Yeb.

FOX is all in for Marco.

It’s a three man race now. Cruz: looking to see if he can bring the same sort of turnout organization to NH; Trump: polls showing him with a big lead were done before the caucus results - they are meaningless now. they will rapidly tighten, the question is how much? I think his competition in NH is Rubio now because of GOP-e consolidation. Cruz should stick with his strategy, Donald needs more inspiring specifics in his stump speech. I didn’t see any crossover support from Dems. I think a lot of people attended the rallies to see the “show”, didn’t translate into votes...
