I reject your reality and substitute my own... my own Trump reality.
I was very sure that Cruz would win Iowa, I was hoping for a stronger showing, but looks like Rubio bled enough off of both Trump and Cruz to drive them down. THAT should be what people are afraid of, not that some polls were inaccurate as usual in Iowa.
No Eric, “where Arrogance meets incompetence: Erickson that is your specialty.
Perhaps instead of breaking their arms patting themselves on the back, people like Erickson might start thinking about why, despite their non stop full court press in the “Conservative Media Establishment for him, and the “greatest Ground Game in History”, Cruz comes out of Iowa with exactly 1 more delegate than Trump or Rubio?
The media also hasn’t reported this. Better out now than have the left report it.
Christianity Today
This sort of political discourse is starting to affect how evangelicals talk about Trump. A notable exception is Russell Moore. He has consistently presented a line of argument—and not just name calling. His major thesis is that Trump is immoral by Christian standards. This is a fact: from Trump’s owning of strip clubs to his bragging about sleeping around to his Nietzsche-esque notions of power. Moore believes that a leader’s moral behavior will affect his leadership, so he argues that no Christian should support a candidate like Trump. This will not convince all Christians, but at least it’s an argument grounded in the fact of Trump’s moral behavior.
Charisma Magazine
“The late Dr. Jerry Falwell Sr. would be rolling over in his grave if he knew the son who bore his name had endorsed the most immoral and ungodly man to ever run for President of the United States,†John Stemberger, president of Florida Family Action, said in a statement Monday. “Trump is a thrice married owner of casing with strip clubs and would give us the first ‘First Lady’ who has proudly posed in the nude while supporting gay marriage and funding Planned Parenthood with taxpayer money.â€
Unique in So Many Ways
Indeed, Trump would be like no president before him.
The first to be married three times, cheating on the first two (and probably the third).
The first whose wife appeared nude in a magazine.
The first to boast of his sexual proclivities, claiming to have had sexual relations with some of the “top women in the world.” (This is who Sarah Palin is supporting?)
He will be the first that has owned casinos with strip clubs.
To proudly proclaim that he will seek revenge against his personal enemies “as viciously and as violently as you can.”
His wife will be the first first lady that has posed for lesbian porn.
And with that last bullet in mind, do you really think for a minute that Trump opposes gay marriage?

Why Donald Trump Threatens to Trump the Gospel
Donald Trump talked about his Christian faith Saturday, but said he’s never sought forgiveness for his sins.
The event is a gathering sponsored by several socially-conservative Christian organizations, including the Family Research Council, a socially conservative lobbying organization; Liberty University, the world’s largest evangelical university; and the National Organization for Marriage, a group established to prevent the legalization of same-sex marriage.
Trump, who told CNN earlier that he is both anti-abortion and anti-same-sex marriage, said people are surprised to learn about his Christian faith.
“People are so shocked when they find ... out I am Protestant. I am Presbyterian. And I go to church and I love God and I love my church,” he said.
Moderator Frank Luntz asked Trump whether he has ever asked God for forgiveness for his actions.
“I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so,” he said. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

Trump started going up in the polls only very late. I wasn’t buying it at all.
Wow, this article could of wrote itself at FR. I have seen every one of those scenarios played out this week (and some still being used today).
If you looked at the unfavorables and the head to head polling it was hard not to come down on the side of Trump winning. To me it always looked like all three would get about the same number of delegates.
"Media criticism" doesn't work when the writer is more in the tank for his candidate than the media is for the other guy.
The mainstream media was never "for" Trump in the way or to the degree that Erick is for Cruz, so his comments aren't really that convincing.
And here he is wrong as well. Both Cruz and Trump performed within the margin of error for the polls, which was 4 to 5 percent.
Ted was a little higher, Don was a little lower. So in essence, the polling was correct taking into account that MOE.
The one who outperformed the poll MOE was Rubio, coming in higher than the 5 percent margin.
EE is a delta bravo crow.
