Carson looked like he was sleeping at the forum last night. (Even when he was speaking)

As long as Carson doesn’t go completely out, Trump will probably win Iowa. Trump doesn’t have a majority of the evangelical voters, but he does have quite a large number of them, only slightly behind other folks. Trump then conquers with new voters, moderates, liberals, the youth, the very conservative, etc.

Cruz and Carson are running a campaign just trying to reach out to this one narrow group. Outside of places like Iowa, it won’t play well.

In the general election, Cruz’s whole religious-based campaign would be bizarrely tied to Glenn Beck of Mormon cult fame and the stupidities and excesses of Dominionism/7 Mountains theology, as personified by his own grifter father.

Outside of this narrow group of folks who will be kookified by the media, Cruz, nor Carson for that matter, would have any broad appeal, whereas Trump is running away with the white blue collar vote, and Americans of every stripe, shape and size.

Cruz will win Iowa handily.

His natural constituency will dominate turnout...and he has the hard money to organize further turnout.

Anyone who doubts this is not paying attention.

He also starting talking about amnesty (he is for it). Just like all of the rest (except for Trump and Cruz).

Finally!

Maybe they are finally listening to some of the things he is actually saying — that are miles from being considered conservative.

From the article:
It's probably one of [Carson's] weakest stances," said Chris Boley, a business owner who attended the Family Leader event and is now leaning toward Rubio. "That doesn't mean he can't get up to speed, but he has some catching up to do...In this day and age, with how important national defense is, with terrorism in the Middle East, you've got to be real studied."
Mr. Boley should take his own advice to study up on issues of national security importance and carefully research Marco Rubio's promises versus his actions after an election on the critical national security issue of amnesty for illegal aliens that were never apprehended or vetted before crossing our borders. Rubio's proven record of deceiving voters should give Mr. Boley pause to reconsider if this is the man we can trust to be Commander in Chief. The answer is definitely NO!

Marilu Erdahl - who drove two-and-a-half hours in the snow to see the candidates speak, making her exactly the kind of Republican the candidates count on during the wintry caucuses

Gotta laugh at this. The author's from KC so she can be excused from understanding that 2.5 hours in the snow is not a big deal to people used to snow.

Weirdo Carson would be at zero percent if he were white.

Can't wait for this unqualified token to exit the race.

As I stated while the attacks were on-going, The election has been handed to Cruz, and all subsequent events will serve to cement Cruz’ inevitability.
