Joni Ernst spoke many times on the campaign trail about “Iowa Nice”. And that’s what I witnessed at the Ag Summit today,, only a handful of people in attendance thought Ted Cruz stands a snowballs’s chance in hell of being the nominee. But they were willing to applaude his willingness to be honest. And that, friends,, is “Iowa Nice”.
Yeah, well many political experts disagree, and not just Republicans:
“And both Carville and Rove warned against underestimating Texas Sen. Ted Cruz – who both agreed is divisive and would have a tough time winning a general election, but who both said is extremely smart as a politician and a candidate.”

“I give Jeb (Bush) less of a chance than most handicappers…and Ted Cruz a little more of a chance.”
