The DesMoines Register poll - the only one that pegged the midterms days out by 5 pts - comes out at 6:00p. Then we’ll know. I don’t remember how accurate the last one was in ‘12.

No, it is what DT always does to those who cross him. He always gets nasty.

Shaming letters?

I can't find a LEGITIMATE news source backing these claims up, but I have to say, GOOD FOR WHO EVER SENT THEM!

Any Republican that sat on their tails instead of fighting against Obama are part of the reason this country is going downhill. And I don't care if they get so mad that they vote for Jebbie..as long as they get off their couches and fight against Hillary and Sanders.

Yes and no one else has volunteers.

Every other campaign pales in comparison to Ted Cruz’s volunteer army.

I used to live right up the road from the college where the volunteers are living.

Iowa allows caucus goers to register at the caucus. The newbies just might show up.

Sure. But the pattern is a rush of registrations at the caucus is preceded by a rush of registering traditionally. Anyone who is taking the matter seriously is going to register ahead of time if possible.

There have been a few thousand ‘new’ GOP registrations, but a lot of them are party regulars who switched their registration to Independent a year or two ago as part of protest against the GOP-backed raise in gasoline taxes.

Will someone PLEASE tell me how to read articles on Breitbart through the “meet up” notice that covers them up?
I’ve been asking and asking and asking and so far - NADA! I loaded adblock so I could read the page and now I can’t get to it.

Just click outside the box and it goes away (I finally found out).

If you’re using a phone, try Web View or whatever it’s called on your particular browser.

I think his history of killing amnesty’s gang of 8 bill is remarkable.

Thanks - no -I just use an “old fashioned” desktop computer...but I followed the advice to “click” outside the box and it does go away. WHEW! That’s been driving me nuts - especially after I added Adblock so I could go to Breitbart....

Gallup didn’t ask me. It 2-0 here for Trump. That’s 100%. I’m going to pray there a lot more similar results.

I am perhaps the most loyal Ted Cruz supporter at Free Republic ...

I am an official Florida campaigner for Ted Cruz in Florida ...

and this VOTER SHAME FLYER is FREAKING INSULTING and STUPID beyond imagination !!!


Without a doubt, Ted Cruz signed-off on the decision to do this ...

and if Ted Cruz has one-half a brain HE WOULD APOLOGIZE ... tonight.



Unfortunately, I have received fund-raising e-mail solicitations from Ted Cruz with the same shaming philosophy ...

and I DELETED every damn one of them.



Talk about snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory !!!!

I think it is minor. Not career ending. Trump rolled dice and skipped debate. Cruz knew he was points down in polls and decided to go with what his paid consultants advised. I really do not think it is a big deal. No Dean scream, no Gary Hart girlfriend. Cruz will recover. If you really believe in him, do not give up. 2 more full days to go.

I don't know what the impact will be.

A handful of Cruz Freepers have jumped ship over this, and they were hardly what you'd call lukewarm supporters.

I'd love to hear from some in Iowa. Is this getting airplay in Iowa? Does anyone there seem to care? Is this news just swallowed up by everything else on the campaign?

Patton, I respectfully ask you to give Donald Trump a second look. I know he'd love to have you on the team.

I looked at all the Iowa TV station websites and only one had a link about it. The newspapers have it. I don’t think Cruz lost voters over the mailer. If he loses will not be fault of mailer. He made 5 stops today and still has Sunday, all day Monday.
