I like your assessment. Right on the money. I think one way to sink Rubio is to make an ad which demonstrates how he said one thing in English and another in Spanish and then ask the voters “Who is Rubio? Really?”
Always amazed by how many say the race is over after just 1 small state voted, and there’s still 49 to go, including big ones. Probably the same who say a football team’s season is over after they lose the first game of the season.
Fact is, Iowa proved there are 3 legitimate Republican candidates now, each has a real chance, none is out of it yet. And Trump MAY get a slight “regional effect” in NH, being from New York.
When did Rubio become a citizen?
Some agree with me. Look, let me disassemble it for you:
Someone said “Trump is no Politician”.
This statement can be read two ways:
first, as it was intended, a simple statement alleging that Trump is not a politician, and
a second way that conveys the meaning that while he is a politician, he’s not a good one. I am sure you have heard this kind of usage, as in “That Bruno, he’s no pizza maker, that’s for sure!” Obviously , Bruno IS a pizza maker, but at least the speaker has concluded that he is not good at his job.
Now, is Trump or is Trump not a politician? I say he is. He is running for elective office and not for the first time, either. He’s a politician by definition.
Is he a good politician? I say not. I think there is plenty of evidence to support this, you may disagree and you are free to.
But my statement is not patently ridiculous, as some other comments tell me that I was understood perfectly well.
The distortion of the facts about Trump’s post-Iowa Trumper Tantrum was designed to bring him down. It is a narrative that won’t change no matter how many facts refute it. You could have a blizzard, a flood and a earthquake on the same day and they will say it was a wonderful day. They are in the same league as der Hildebeast supporters. There could be two suicides in Fort Marcy Park every day and Hillary’s supporters would still support her because she stands for gun control.
If I could pick a president it would be Cruz. If I could pick a candidate, it would be Trump.
Why is nobody questioning Cruz’s flat tax that would take away our home mortgage tax deduction?
Sunday, January 31, 2016 the day before the Iowa caucus Tom S. Elliott in the National Review made it sound like Trump said, Ill Enact Universal Health Coverage, and Mark Levin posted it in his Facebook page. Rush Limbaugh joined in on Monday morning echoing the same spew and Levin continued with the Universal Health Coverage BS on air on the Iowa caucus day, although, he did play the clip. Yevginiy Feyman in The Washington Examiner continued it on January 5.
Shades of Dan Rather.

Trump loves universal health care. That & taxpayer subsidized ethanol, federal control of state land, eminent domain & amnesty touchback.
Trump: Unlike Cruz, ‘I Have a Heart,’ I’ll Enact Universal Health Coverage
In an interview this morning on This Week, Donald Trump cited his desire to “help people†as the reason he favors government-funded universal health coverage. Unlike Ted Cruz, Trump said, “I have a heart.â€

I transcribed the video Mark Levin has been pushing
George: You said that Ted Cruz is a liar, but you have said that everyone should be covered by healthcare and the governments going to pay for it. How is that not
Trump
I want people taken care of, I have a heart. I want people taken care of, if people have no money we have to help people. But that doesnt mean single payer, it means that we have to help people. If somebody has no money and theyre lying in the middle of the street and theyre dying, Im going to take care of that and get them back to health. We are going to work with our hospitals, we are going to work with our doctors. We have to do something.
You cant have a small percentage of our economy because they are down and out, absolutely no protection so they end up dying from what you have you know you can have a simple procedure or a pill, we will work something out. That doesnt mean single payer. I mean maybe hes got no heart and if this means I lose an election, thats fine.
We have to take care of the people in our country, we cant let them die on the sidewalks of New York, or the sidewalks of Iowa, or anywhere else. So, thats not single payer.
So as so far as Obamacare is concerned, one of the staples of my speech, you can ask any of my many supporters is to repeal and replace Obamacare. Its a disaster, the premiums are going up 25 35 45 percent George you take a look at whats going on with Obamacare is an outrage, its probably going to fail on its own. Unless the republicans renew it like they have been in 17, in 17 Obamacare is going to fail on its own, But a whole staple of my campaign is repeal and getting rid of Obamacare.
“Poor DOC CARSON was robbed.”
Maybe so, but I seriously doubt if Carson could ever pull it off had there been fair play. I am not saying he’d be a poor president or that he’s not qualified, but with this nations first black president being not just a failure, but a purposeful destroyer of America, I think many Americans of all races would tend to stay away from black candidates.
The damage obama has done to his race, America and the world will likely not be fully realized for years to come.
The polls will change again next week.
You use hyperbole when you wrote, “his speeches full of F-Bombs.” When Bill O’Reilly talked to The Donald about his use of the F-bomb tonight, Trump said that he never said the word. He used the word, “ucking.” However watching the video he used the F-word. I think he wanted to convey his outrage at Washington’s stupidity. And that was the only time he has used it.
He said, “Saudi Arabia said, ‘Ugh, let’s raise the price, let’s cut back production.’ Can you believe it? You’re going to be paying five and six dollars a gallon for gasoline pretty soon. And they want to go in and raise the price of oil because we have nobody in Washington that sits back and said, “You’re not going to raise that f**king price!” You understand?” The place went crazy. He got a standing ovation. I think it was quite funny. Even though the Lame Stream Media hate him, you can know he keeps them entertained. LOL!

Why isn’t Rubio eligible?
**********************************
Both parents were Cuban nationals when he was born, so he’s just an anchor baby in the US.
I’ll take a brash fighter with accomplishments who loves America over a communist muslim terrorist sympathizer any day.
I have to agree. Trumps unfiltered commentary can push the edge of “acceptable”. Ted Cruz needs to reign himself in and focus on that GOPe slimewad rubio. We need both him and Cruz to consolidate a vast majority of GOP support to defeat the GOPe manipulators. All differences and viscious propaganda aside nothing either candidate has said or done lowers them to the level of any democrat on their best day.
We need them to focus fire on the true enemy and not each other. Same with Freepers.
Listening to Fox in NH, the main point...many have not decided. The stuff is out there. I want to know how you cannot know by now? Of course, I am a tin foil hat-try to figure out what is going on behind the rhetoric type. Comes from having lived with a pathological liar. Nuggets of truth, nuggets.
The continuous diatribe against Trump is a reaction to the huge crowds he is getting. It is a phenomenon that has occurred no where in our nation’s history. The Lame Stream Media wants to neutralize it every way they can because they are in the tank for der Hildebeast. If she were a Republican, she would have been indicted and dropped out of the race.
I have watched the professional politicians up on their high horse like pompous asses about Trump’s salty language. I bet der Hildebeast let’s every expletive in the book fly along with a few lamp stands:
“Where is the G*damn f**king flag! I want the G*damn f**king flag up every morning at f**king sunrise.”—From the book Inside the White House, by Ronald Kessler, p.244—Hillary to staff at the Arkansas Governor’s mansion on Labor Day 1991. And,
“If you want to remain on this detail, get your f**king ass over here and grab those bags!”—From the book The First Partner: Hillary Rodham Clinton, by Joyce Milton p.259—Hillary to a Secret Service Agent who was reluctant to carry her luggage because he wanted to keep his hands free in case of an incident.
Yes, it is f**king funny.
Spot on! Well said.
‘Why hasn’t Trump renounced British citizenship?’
Because Trump does not have British citizenship! -
His mother became a naturalized US citizen in 1942, 4 years before Trump’s birth in USA. (Trump was born to 2 USA citizen parentS in USA!)
NOTE - parents don’t have to be born in USA. Ted Cruz said that intentionally to confuse the issue.
Cruz was born in Canada, to a Cuban father, and a US mother who was a registered voter in Canada before and after Cruz’s birth, and his mother never actively registered his birth with USA to ensure he keeps his USA citizenship.
FACT - Ted Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship, i.e. he admits he had dual citizenship!
I think independently of Iowans. I will still vote for Trump.
This is why he invented that Cruz cheated him uh er carson
IF Trump wins NH, SC and NV this poll will change back in a hurry. Trump has a big lead in all 3 of these states, and in many of the Super Tuesday states as well. But, we’ll just have to wait and see.
You want to hear the ‘f’ word in soviet Red Hampshire? Just go to any small-town elementary school...I heard young children use the ‘f’ word when defying their parents on many occasions.
