Says the TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) supporter.
True, but they were already long time politicians.
Huck was Gov in 97, Santorum in Senate in 95.
Cruz has only been in the game since 2013.
LOL!
If we had a conservative press that wasn't covering for OGABE on this issue maybe all the butthurt from the cruzholes could have been spared. But nooooooooooooo None of them dare mention the issue. Freaking morons
Yes Cruz did well. I want to see him over the noise level.
So the POTUS should be elected based on their stance on ethanol. Got it
____________________________________________________________
It is more than just a stance. Ted Cruz is a principled man who stood by the taxpayers. Trump bought votes from the ethanol lobby regardless of how it will affect the country.
Branstad was elected to his SIXTH four-year term in 2014.
The rise of Iowa’s evangelicals happened in the absence of Branstad, who stepped away from politics for a time. he and his establishment are back for this cycle. However, the GOP establishment is more conservative now than it used to be.
I have been around this for a while.
I can already hear the whinning when President Trump joins with the establishment in 2017 to make deals with Reid/Pelosi.
A lot can happen in a few election cycles. Look what happened the last two.
Money, especially other people’s money, talks.
Cruz #1 in Iowa by 11%. See you on the other side.
Is there a source for this or is it hope?
I was pulling hard for Cruz last night — and his first attempt at humor was fine. But he needed to stop there.
The whining relative to the questions and moderators — trying to channel Trump - was just plain stupid. Whoever gave Cruz that advice should be fired.
With Trump absent, Cruz simply needed to demonstrate a mastery of facts and conservative ideology - someone mature, reasoned, ready to be president, rather than an ignorant, narcissistic, petulant NY a—hole. Instead Cruz tried to be something he wasn’t, and it backfired. Badly.
It is truly amazing that a presidential candidate is standing up the the ethanol industry in Iowa.
Don’t forget to pick up your nerve pills this weekend.
You will need them next week.
You don’t have to wait.
The GOP house and senate have been making deals
with the RATS for a very long time.
"I'm not here to talk about Donald Trump. I'm here to share my optimistic view of America's future and to exhibit my leadership to the people of Iowa and the rest of the Nation."
Strong. Forceful. Positive. Not second fiddle. And would have cut off the Trump discussion (most of it) for the rest of the night, and have been one of the moments of the debate.
Instead, he opened with the lame nasally joke. He should fire his staff.
Dang, I really should be doing this for a living.
This election was supposed to stop that.
A President Cruz would work with his house allies to put pressure on the awful Senate.
Why taunt teammates? We’re supposed to be on the same side. If things don’t go as well as you expect for Trump are you going to be OK?
He won’t be making deals with Reid you dumb, cumb. Reid is retiring.
