Bill Kristol: Trump Has Peaked, Won't Win Iowa
Real Clear Politics ^ | Dec 10 2015 | Morning Joe

Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol appears on Thursday's Morning Joe to talk about the Republican presidential primary race and candidate Donald Trump. Kristol said Trump supporters don't "think about the implications" of what the candidate is saying.

"People I respect think Trump has peaked, that a lot of people are intrigued by Trump," Kristol said causing host Joe Scarborough to break out in laughter.

"You can laugh," Kristol told Scarborough. "He's not going to win Iowa. He'll run third."

Iowa went for Huckster and Santorum. It’s not the biggie. The SEC primaries is where Trump will take a commanding lead.

Peaked? Guess this means we will see Trump at 50% soon!

Because winning Iowa determines the Republican Nom? Tell that to Santorum.

Santorum won Iowa in 2012 and Huckabee won it in 2008. Cruz will win it in 2016 and then Trump will run the table.

Trump will be out of contention by October, 2015. We know this because pundits and Big News experts have told us so.

Back on July. Kristol said Trump would fade after labor day. Something about how voters would start paying attention blah blah. Keep dreaming you neocon fool.

Cruz will probably win Iowa, but Trump won’t be third.

Not so sure about that, and just because Iowa hasn’t lately doesn’t mean that it won’t.

Doesn’t mean it will either.

The win in Iowa anyway can’t hurt a candidate.

Krystal IS obsessed with Trump.

Good gawd, how many times does this make that he’s said Trump is finished???

I’ve lost count.

The Iowa Caucus is a farse anyway. Obama won it by simple thuggery. Just push the other candidates’ supporters out the door.

I’ve also lost count.

IIRC, Silly Billy Kristol was almost “all in” for Carson originally, and I think Rubio is his guy ...
