Getting into your daughter’s mother-in-law’s head sounds like it would be a short trip.

As an indicator of who will eventually get elected Iowa is a big fat zero. I really don’t know why politicians spend so much time and money to win it!!

"Your daughter’s mother in law is an idiot"

She probably knew that years ago :)

The best thing that could happen for the Democrats is that Trump would win. Those who not never vote for him would be stuck with no option. Trump, the fraud, faux conservative would have helped Hillary win, which many of us think is goal anyway.

Anyone who says to a robber to turn his weapon on the guy behind the counter shows lack character. Carson will never get this household’s votes. The more he talks, the more I suspect he’s lying.

Having just read how this mess works in Iowa. It’s a waste of money and time.

I'll show you the respect due a fellow Freeper.

But I'll say that there is no evidence, however thin, to indicate Trump is not in it to win it.

Likely, much to your chagrin.

How can he be the best thing for the Democrats when he will cut into Reagan Democrats and blue dogs more than anyone else? He’ll cut into the African American vote more than any other GOP’er. I can’t remember a single black person in the media going for Romney last time.

True, but we will all know in a few months.

"I guaranty that the Republican Party of Iowa did not knowingly give Quinnipiac lists of caucus attendees."

Then the question remains: Where did the list come from?

Did Quinnipiac develop it on there own, and how?

And really, how does one really poll a caucus state?

Trump turns out the crowds in Iowa and it's no leap that they will show up to caucus for Trump. The rest of the other candidates cannot do it like Trump.

If hanky-panky was going on which is very possible since Q-Kiddie pollsters are still very liberal, and/or to make new headlines.

Did they call 5,000 people to narrow down to Likely GOP Caucus goers?

Or, did somebody hand them a list?

That's possible too.

After polling Iowa for sometime, they would know who to call back in a later poll to skew in the direction they want. It's very easy to do.

It is the mockingjay plan. Split the jbush competition up.

That’s really a generic poll question.

Try “how political polls work” in a search engine.

A large number of people are quizzed at random, then the sample is narrowed down by demographics and other question responses. Polls rely on people being truthful.

"That’s really a generic poll question."

I know how they work and that's my point.

Quinnipiac did not narrow down from a very large random sample to get their list of 574.

They just made a statement of: "574 likely Republican Caucus Goers" with no mention of how they developed that list.

A more reliable, scientific survey would start with 5-8000 random numbers in Iowa.

Name the last time a candidate who won Iowa (republican) went on to win the nomination. Iowa is of nearly no matter at all.
