You can’t run a campaign from 30,000 above the ground and hit and run speeches. Sorry, It actually takes some effort and a ground game.
I don’t know man. The polls went back and forth. And he got 7 votes. I’m voting for Ted but I don’t see yesterday as doing much for anyone except Rubio which concerns me
BS
Kasich dropped the ball. Fiorino dropped the ball. Huckabee dropped the ball, Santorum dropped the ball. Jeb dropped the ball! Christi dropped the ball. Get the drift bucko?
Polls don’t track cell phone users very well from what I hear.
The younger conservatives I know use only cell phones and lean heavily to Cruz and Paul.
Poor guy got 45,000 votes and 2nd place. Why are we feeling sorry for him. That is great considering he didn’t go to all 99 counties and really didn’t spend much time in Iowa. I think he did great under the circumstances. It was a better bang for his buck compared to Cruz who spend 2 years and huge amounts of money for 4 percent win. I don’t think this does much of anything in regards to the nomination except Trump needs to make up that 1 delegate deficit which he probably will in New Hampshire.
Some of them were never really in the game.
If the media elite build up expectations and they are not met by reality, why blame the candidate? There is a distinct probablility that our news is engineered. They are called editors for a reason.
Yep, it's the old GOP-e two step:
Split the conservative vote.
Run the RINO up the middle.
One of these days us on the right will learn to avoid the circular firing squads and keep the debates and exchanges on the high road. The GOP-e wants us duking it out in the mud.
He must of underestimated the IQ of those corn growing hay-seeds. he offered them ethanol $$$ at our expense and they spurned him.
Now when he gets in the WH he will kill ethanol to teach them a lesson.
Fortunately NY appreciates him.
Trump personally sent his private helicopter to the the top of the world Trade Center to rescue those folks while the Mussies in NJ were chanting ‘Die American Pigs Die’
At least in Trump-world....
Then why did Republicans allowed it? Cause the pared off votes, that’s why. Democrat Party is smarter.
The guy got damn close to winning that way and I think this will be a wake up call for NH. I don’t expect Trump to make the same mistake twice. I know Cruz set up a great ground game in IA (learned his lessons well in Texas) and I hope he has done the same in NH or Trump will eat his lunch.
We're not even supposed to touch the ball (unless we're goalies) so how can anyone drop the ball?
Trump could have spent another month there, he wasn’t beating Cruz.
And Cruz is most likely to pick up votes after the Rino candidates drop out.
that’s why I am preaching like Robert Duvall today on the threads. We’re going to lose and trump and Ted will come in second and third. And that will do a lot of good for both of us...s
TO Donald trump,
To use your own words “ Your Fired”
We shall see. We shall see. Kate Smith not even on the bench yet.
He leaves Iowa with one less delegate than Cruz, and will be ahead of him in one week.
I can’t wait for the editorials calling Cruz a loser and that he needs to leave the race.
