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.

Maybe the ball was dropped on Trump.

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.

RE:”Trump believed the polls, he thought he had Iowa in the bag,...”

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....

I thought we were now a soccer-playing, UN-loving country.

We're not even supposed to touch the ball (unless we're goalies) so how can anyone drop the ball?

I think you may have a point. The health care stuff really bothers a lot of conservatives, and Cruz hit that hard coming down the stretch.

translation: Iowans are supreme narcissists who believe they are at the center of the universe.

Any wonder they launched Barack Hussein O. into the White Hut??

Why Donald Trump Dropped the Ball in Iowa

It was IOWA. He did just fine. If Trump goes down in NH, I'll be willing to consider it a "ball drop" and potential sign of collapse. Personally, I never succumbed to the Iowa polls. Iowans take pride in screwing with the polls, IMHO. I predicted a Cruz win a couple days before.

But, I will concede that NH is probably a "must win" for Trump.

Unspeakable, unimaginable hubris. Not a good quality in the leader of a democracy.

He has let the truth slip out a little bit hear and there during the campaign. But in the last few weeks, he was overconfident, so he revealed his true colors a little bit more.

Iowa was a three way tie. Cruz got 8 delegates, Trump 7 and Rubio got 7.

Cruz didn’t win, and Trump nor Rubio lost. It was a tie. And I see this as very reflective of the current state of the GOP.

Trump pulled roughly 1/3 of the GOP with mostly anti-establishment voters.

Cruz pulled roughly 1/3 with conservatives

Rubio pulled the establishment voters.

I’m not sure Trump actually wants to be president.

Exactly right. Trump started to betray conservatives before he had even won a single vote.
