There was a graphic on FOX, posted in Twitter, so I didn't get the context or even really understand it: It said "% of voters who initially stayed home on caucus night" or something like that. It has Trump at 24%, Cruz at something like 15%.
Now, if it meant they DID stay home, it still wouldn't change the outcome (24% of 38,000 is just over 9,000 giving Trump 47,100, while Cruz at 15% of 51,750 would give him 58,600.
But I don't know what they meant. Anyone catch this?
Yes I saw it.
24% trumpetts stayed home.
The Cruz number was 13%
It means Trump didn’t motivate his voters to turn out as much as Cruz.
I told Trump to rent a fleet of 10,000 Jeeps and SUVs to get them to the polls.
You can say that again gramps.
You prefer MSNBC? Or are you just throwing a hissy because FOX doesn’t kiss trump’s ass enough to suit you?
OR they could be farmers who had to prepare for the coming blizzard, and had to put their work first.
No, because, they are slobbering all over Jeb and Rubio. And if you think FNC loves them some Cruz, boy are you in for a major letdown.
Yes I saw that. They either outright said or implied that Trump’s ground game was deficient.
I don’t want them to “love” anybody. I want honest reporting.
I don’t watch FOX anymore because they aren’t trustworthy.
Does a person have to love FOX for some reason? They aren’t nice to Cruz either.
So why are ya so nasty?
I did not see that particular graphic. I have heard talk about how trump supporters stayed home in droves. That is the problem with relying on TV and free coverage to generate your message. If yo do not have a ground game you cannot get out the vote.
Of course primaries are easier because the time-specific commitment is not as intense.
I guess we will see on Tuesday.
What is this fixation with Iowa? Iowa is so over.
Cruz had the best Ground Game in Iowa. He planned it for over a Year.
No matter who any of us support, we all know it’s the truth of the matter.
I’m surprised Cruz didn’t have a Cameo on the American Pickers Show.
#8 they sure have been fawning over Rubio this week.
Full court press.
No idea. I suppose a weakness. Whine about the opposition vs getting on down the road.
