At the Cruz victory party?

No. I actually expect no blood to be drawn on Feb 1st. A draw of sorts. We all know that Iowa is a beauty pageant. I just feel that the media and atmosphere is revving up folks engines a bit too much.

I’ve donated to Cruz three times, once at his announcement and the last a couple weeks ago. But if it’s Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump, I’m happy.

Let’s have an executive running the executive branch for a change!

Steve Deace is NOT Cruz’s Iowa campaign manager.

Speaking of reality....

Whether Cruz or Trump become President, this country is in such a large hole (thanks to most of the people in the current leadership) that if one of them were able to DO 1/3 of what they have promised, it will be a miracle.

It takes a long time to turn around a large supertanker or aircraft carrier.

I think it’s a small percentage of both sides that are the ‘extremists’.

I don’t really find it hard to believe that highly opinionated people who find enjoyment in posting their opinions on a political forum discussion board get heated when it comes to a political election.

Thank you. An awesome way to express the 'reality' we have to face.

Where in post #31 did I claim to be a “Cruz Team insider” with access to their polling? I worked on the Haig and Forbes campaigns many moons ago. I live in Texas, not Iowa. Comprende?

I'd settle for one that was a real American. I've had it with the communists and muslims.

the GOP is called the stupid party for a reason.
Democrats don’t treat blackliesmatter the way the GOP treats its Conservative voters.

I don’t hate Cruz, as a matter of fact I voted for him for Senator. I do not think he is a NBC and qualified to be President. I think he would be an outstanding AG, SCOTUS justice or continuing as my Senator.

“I have seen worse behavior on Twitter. The Cruz supporters have no tolerance for a different opinion. Block for no reason. Can’t wait for Feb 2.”

You can say that again. I was conversing with a Cruz supporter on Twitter and I dared to criticize Glenn Beck. Another Cruz supporter happened to see my comment about Beck and went absolutely ballistic. He called me a “Trumpkin” and other names & was incredulous that I would dare to criticize the “genius” Glenn Beck, lol.

The hilarious thing is I had stated that I was a Cruz voter but still got called Trumpkin and other juvenile names, because I dared to say something negative. The lunatic blocked me before I had the chance to respond to his delusional little tirade.

It figures that the lunatic was a Glenn Beck fan because he was just as irrational and loopy as Glenn himself. I wonder if they were related:) The loons are certainly out.

I’m a Cruz supporter and someone who thinks Trump is an idiot but unlike a lot of folks here I’d vote Trump if he’s the nominee or Rubio or whoever else might get the nominee because an idiot or worse is far better than anything from the left. Slowing the destruction down is better than walking away and letting the destruction happen.

I say.. They might be republicans, but they aren’t bconstitutionalists. Here on FR of all places, they post trump scoops. Really? Are they scoops or inside, or worse yet paid staffers? Let’s be honest, look at trumps record. Listen when he says.. Cities have a right to condemn... I’m going to force Israel, Apple.. Who is next?
Speaking of honesty, Two Corinthians? No need to ask forgiveness from God?
So what gives? He gets a million dollar loan from his dad, that he had to pay back with interest.. Considers driving a luxury. He sounds more like Chelsea Clinton, than anyone I can think of. Doesn’t sound like anyone I could vote for, ever
How many people have we elected on a promise that didn’t come true.. The fifty first vote, build the wall. Lots of promises, all broken.
