While others were talking and bickering and polling, Cruz took care of business, putting together a state of the art political operation.

He'll dominate Iowa, and then the national numbers reset.

We’ll know soon enough one way or the other.

Or, this could be just like that incredible super sophisticated “system” that Romney had. What was it called? Orca?

Cruz is headed South again this week. He was going to Iowa, but apparently he has changed his schedule.

He needs to make a mountain out of a mole hill since most that win Iowa don’t get nominated that often.

"He's in prime position to do very well here," Nagle said. "And I also think he's in prime position to do very well on Super Tuesday.

"He's the real deal."

Yes. Yes he is.

Isn’t Iowa a proportional delegate distribution state?

Looks like with the polls showing them neck and neck, they’ll get an equal number of delegates. +/-1. No big difference.

Let me assure every one here and I like Cruz. but he will never win Iowa like Santorum did. Trumpsters will flood those cauci like you can’t imagine. I fully expect Trump to win 45%. Then New Hampshire — then South Carolina - Then the nomination. They wanted “Winner take all” for bush — now they get “winner take all” for Trump. Let them eat okra.

From the article....

...Cruz has probably put together one of the most sophisticated, organizational efforts this state has ever seen...... the best campaign operation among the 2016 candidates, frankly it's a textbook operation how to win a caucus campaign.......What Cruz planned is working precisely to his desire.....It's a very elaborate, very aggressive, very well informed grass roots swarming strategy.............. with endorsements from staunch conservative U.S. Rep. Steve King, social conservative leader Bob Vander Plaats and conservative radio host Steve Deace......

...THE BOOTS HAVE IT, AND MADE FOR WALKING THE TALK ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITEHOUSE!

"Frankly it's a textbook operation how to win a caucus campaign," Gross said.

Caucuses seem un-American. You give your support openly and are lobbied to change your position. I don't like that. Better is the secret ballot.

Cruz “has probably put together one of the most sophisticated, if not the most sophisticated, organizational efforts this state has ever seen,” said Dave Nagle, a three term Democratic member of Congress and now a lawyer in Waterloo.

Democratic member of Congress? Say what???????

I fully expect some bad things happening in this country and the world that will set Trump apart from the pack.

Cruz is a good man, but not strong enough. I won’t vote for him in a primary. I won’t even turn on the tube to listen to him at this point.

He’s an apprentice.
