The people watching tv don’t know who C4G is and they’re being inundated with negative ads. The left agrees on one thing, negative works as long as it’s not Trump doing it.

CFG should focus on Hillary

They won't because they are bought and paid whores for Tom Donahue and the GOPe that has completely abandoned all pretense of conservatism and is nothing more than the crony business side of the Marxist Democrat party left.

It’s not a Trump slide. It’s a Carson surge, mostly because of the holier-than-thou voters who find Trump too abrasive. Course, these are the same GOP voters who gave primary victories to Huckabee and Santorum.

Trust me, they're not going to be influenced one bit because C4G is attacking Trump to advance one of the RINO candidates. And these types of potential voters sure as Hell aren't going to support the RINO, either because they're leftists anyway or they're conservatives who can see through the C4G ploy and hate the GOPe anyway. These ads are just as effective as Jeb's ads in NH that are having zero effect.

Well then what’s the deal with Carson on top? Carson hasn’t even campaigned in Iowa. His super pacs combined there to make a mega-super-pac but what can they do that C4G isn’t doing? I’m genuinely puzzled.

You say CFG should focus on Hillary. Do you say the same to Trump? Should he focus on Hillary instead of Carson’s religion? Typical Trump Hypocrite.

It’s time both Trump and Cruz go after Carson a bit.

The Iowa caucus delegates are uncommitted. While Cruz wants to do well there, a top three finish is "good enough" to stick around. Trump is VERY strong in NH, where Cruz is quite weak. Cruz will want to show up (he has an office thre), but not rely on it. Florida is a state where Cruz putting in too much of an effort (for no ultimate delegates) risks a Rubio (or even John Ellis Bush) winning. Cruz has shown where his efforts are: some in Iowa, a LOT in Michigan, SC, GA, Texas and other southern states. I see no reason why Cruz wouldn't do well in the west (outside CA) once the field is winnowed a bit.

Either of whom would have been better than McCain and Romney.

Even during Trump's first wave, Iowa was a holdout, with Walker on top until he fizzled out nationally. The folks backing Walker were looking for a non-Trump they could agree on. At this point, it is Carson.

Apples and oranges. Trump isn't running negative ads on Carson's religion. CFG isn't a candidate...it is an alleged conservative interest group which is attempting to torpedo Trump through ads so they can get their establishment pick as the nominee.

C4G is “gonna destroy him state by state with ads”?? Not likely. They had to beg, then try to extort, Trump for $1M....and, you think they’re going have funds to run these ads, state by state?

Nice of you to be okay with this sort of sleazy smear campaign if it were benefiting Cruz and not Carson, though. Gosh.

Iowa is not relevant to anything.

The Club for Growth and the Chamber of Commerce are one in the same, made up of the same RINO, NWO types who care nothing about the country and only want to pad their bank accounts.
