I think it’s awfully early for anyone to be taking a victory lap over Cruz’s miniscule eaking out of a delegate lead.

Especially since Cruz cheated. His campaign apologized to Dr. Carson today but that's meaningless. Dr. Carson had a good chance of placing 3rd before the Cruz rumors of him dropping out.

It was consistent with all the polls.

Actually, no it wasn't. But polling is almost meaningless for the Iowa caucuses and always has been, something a few of us have been pointing out to all the Trump premature celebrators promising to wallow in our misery come last Monday. Rich Lowry and National Review taking credit is even worse.

yep Establishment Political Clowns always take credit for things they had nothing at all to do with.

If I am NRO I have to be asking myself why, despite the feverish support they spun out for Cruz and "greatest ground game in Iowa History", Cruz won by less then 6000 votes and has exactly 1 more delegate coming out of Iowa then either Trump or Rubio.

They make zero sense. They did their ‘job’ and now it will be on to propping up their real choice Rubio.

I’m going to lmao when NR turns on Cruz and the bellyaching floods the threads.

The entire game was revealed in one quick moment for me today, when Rush claimed Rubio was like Reagan and stating that Rubio is not GOPe.

I’ve seen a few elections and I’m quite sure I’ve never witnessed the likes of an election like this where the same party tries with such vigor to destroy someone within the party.

A great example is the 2014 MS Senate primary between Thad Cochran and Chris McDaniel. I remember the names and faces of those that aided Cochran, and I'm not forgetting, or forgiving.

I get that Donald Trump's not a real conservative.

But how is Rich Lowry not part of the Washington Establishment?

Lowry goes on and on about being against the Establishment, and seems to be utterly unaware that to most people Establishment is exactly what he is.

People need to see Rush for what he really is, and he is an elitist.

and the fact Cruz was the most overtly religious in a state Santorum & Huckabee won. A case could be made Cruz could have won more votes, given how many pluses he has on paper.

Give credit where credit is due. You do know that Rubio is the only person in DC to actually accomplish throwing a monkey wrench into Obamacare. Ask the Health Insurance industry what they think of Rubio, considering Rubio putting a cap on the amount of subsidies they can receive from government to cover their Obamacare losses. They are losing their shirts because of Rubio, thus not getting the government largesse they were counting on when they signed on to Obamacare.

Well perhaps Rich Lowry of NR fame has made a good point and did in fact play a big part in Trump’s failure to win the Iowa Cauc... I can’t even type it it sounds so unclean.

Anyway, Trump may be in his rights to post a bounty on MR. Rich Lowery and give us all something to do for the next seven days.
