Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, on the other hand, sits at the bottom of the pack. Just 46 percent of Iowa Republicans say they have a favorable view of him, compared to 17 percent who hold an unfavorably view.

Cruz is tied with another Senate Republican: Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who is also viewed favorably by just 46 percent of Iowa Republicans. 15 percent say they view him unfavorably.

Iowans huffing too much ethanol?
Mr. Amnesty and Bankrupter, who lost a debate to Joe Biden?
I don’t think so.
I will not vote for Ryan if he gets the nomination
So, you’re voting for Hillary.
That’s right, by God. Let’s trash talk any Conservative who isn’t perfect, just to show how pure we all are. Sure, that’s how we end up with the likes of John McCain and Mitt Romney, but 8 more years of socialist statism is a small price to pay.
Rand Paul will win the nomination.

Too many idiot farmers on the subsidy teat....
no, I’ll vote libertarian and waste my vote. i’m not going to vote for a collaborator. I’d rather not, but unless a good non backstabbing republican runs, my vote will got to someone else.
The fix is in:o(
I’ll get to the polls so fast I’ll redshift just to vote for him.
Same thing. Either way you vote RAT.
So, did you vote for Obama last time?
It doesn’t matter whether it’s a D or R, as both are stoking the fiscal train wreck that’s a comin’. One is just feeding the engine fire a little less fuel......and neither seem to understand or want to utilize the brake.
Neither will I. I didn't vote for him the last time either.
Yeppers, always better to let a DemoRat win.
