I wouldn’t read too much into an Iowa victory. What plays well there won’t carry over to other states.
Media outlets in Hawkeyeland did well...
Although I lean more to Cruz than Trump, I’ve heard that Iowa is really not an accurate indicator of an eventual election winner. As I understand it many have not won Iowa and gone on to win the general.
You can say the same about New Hampshire actually
It plays well with conservative Christians across the nation. So, Cruz has established himself as their standard bearer, and there are a lot of them.
He still has the Canada problem, though. He has to put that to rest.
Couldn’t be happier over the outcome of Iowa. Our three outsiders won almost in unison on large turnout.
Maybe Trump’s loss, though a close one, will make him less blustery. I hope so. I would also like him to have some serious competition.
Trump said it would be a waste of time if he lost.
If nothing else, it started to thin the chaff from the field a bit.
With all the "expose polls" going on, it was never 100% clear but at least the expected top dogs ended up at the top - we need to find a way to slow Rubio down because he is the darling of the RNC/GOPe/MSM now and probably what they see as their last best hope.
New Hampshire and South Carolina will further define things and polls will begin to have at least a little relevance (just pick the ones you look at carefully).
No big surprises - unless one finds it surprising that Hillary's folks managed to lie/cheat/steal from Bernie....we get a secondary popcorn eating event with those two.
I Agree.
As long as Cruz or Trump stay at the top...
It will be a refreshing change that the voters cram their preference down the throats of the Republican Establishment for a change.
Since Bush is still dragging, it seems AmnestyRubio is once again their go-to guy.
For the 'Rats, Sanders was favored in the urban areas.
