The underreported storyline of Ted Cruz’s Iowa surge

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is on the move in Iowa. He’s crossed the 20 point mark in four straight polls and when you take into account the noise inherent in polling, he’s basically even with Donald Trump in Iowa at this point.

That’s important because it could mark a permanent change in how Republican Presidential candidates address the state.

Back in 2008, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) skipped Iowa completely because he was unwilling to bend on his opposition to ethanol subsidies, and he believed it would prevent him from winning the state. But Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has come out against the Renewable Fuel Standard, a corn subsidy by regulation. And now he’s on track possibly to win Iowa....

President Huckabee is congratulating Cruz.Iowa is the ticket!

where is Cruz going to get the support in Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire. It’s just not going to happen..jmo

Trump may have the most solid support in history. No one I talk to is changing their mind.

Considering Cruz will win Iowa, I'd suggest get your chuckles now while you still can.

I am going to start tracking the "TTT" (Time to Trump)response time of these threads that mention Cruz by name.

12 minutes, 57 seconds is kinda long.

Yes, or that Trump’s lead is even more.

Did Santorum or Huckabee have around $100 million in the bank to use to follow-through on their Iowa victories? Cruz does.

Trump 1 Cruz 2 I can live with either. But I am sick of hearing the bickering by Trump Cruz supporters. The candidates aren’t attacking one another. Why should we?

Good Article

Trump Cruz supporters........ The candidates aren't attacking one another. Why should we?

OMG... Have you forgotten where you are? This is "Free Republic". Most of the crusty, old farts on here are 1 or 2 Issue purists who will NOT tolerate anyone supporting any candidate but their guy and sure as hell won't stand for you not agreeing with them. They will damn you to hell in a heartbeat. HAVE YOU NOT NOTICED? There's hardly anyone here anymore except Trump and Cruz supporters. Everyone else has gone to a website where they can exercise their freedom of speech without being berated and threatened.

If you don’t like it why don’t you haul your n00bie ass out of here?

There are plenty of fag filled liberal sites ideal for ‘lil fellers like you.

I think it gets like this during Presidential elections. It will normalize. I have a secret theory that some part of it is the other side stirring up dissent.

Demorats and Republicans are both at it to insure the Globalist Elites Agenda isn’t disturbed..... most of our Representatives in Washington support that Agenda.

“Did Santorum or Huckabee have around $100 million in the bank to use to follow-through on their Iowa victories? Cruz does.”

Is Cruz up to $100 million? I had not heard that. Very impressive.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I’m combining campaign and PAC funds in that calculation.

Ted Cruz won’t be or can’t be the 2nd for many Trump supporters if Trump makes good on his threat to the GOP by going 3rd party... Something to consider.

Now is the time of choosing.

Yeh if on caucus night Ted is still 23% and Trump is 25% its a 2pt lose for Cruz. LOL!

[JoSixChip]
