Looks like Rubio will be the establishment’s last hope.
I expect they’ll ask Bush to drop out shortly.
This is the exact margin I have been predicting here in FR for weeks:
Trump over Cruz by 7 points in Iowa.
MailerGate didn’t help.
Cruz should have stayed drafting on Trump longer. He got out of his wake too early.
Wow...all that most probably from the “shaming” letter. Let this Cruz campaign lack of judgement be a wake up call for all campaigns in the future....there are limits.
Unknowns:
Weather.
Turnout.
Everybody’s second choice when their guy is too weak.
In other words, Peak Trump is somewhere around 40%. The other 60% have to think hard about who to support in light of that.
If in spite of that Trump wins, I think it’s over. Iowa plays to Cruz’s strengths. He can still do well in SEC and Trump could flame out, but both happening are unlikely.
Go Cruz! Tonight’s the night.
According to the article, in order to get this respectable lead for Trump, Quinnipiac assumes a historical drop in both evangelical and very conservative voter turnout. These are 2 blocks which unsurprisingly are for Cruz.
What do they base this on? Why, for the first time in decades, would a huge number of evangelicals and very conservative voters decide to sit out the caucus?
Ted is Cruzing into irrelevance.
Another poll showing Trump leading. Well if there turnot models are correct it will be a bad day for me and a good day for you.
Coulda sworn I just heard the chick on Fox News say “Front runner Ted Cruz...” (while interviewing a rather subdued Karl Rove)
I think Rubio will finish second ahead of Cruz and the GOPe will have an on-air celebration because they’ll think they’re back in the game again. Ted had an awful last week of the campaign, and though I do support him, I realize tonight is must win for him and it doesn’t look good. New Hampshire doesn’t bode well for him either.
The fact is....When Trump dropped out of the debate...he automatically exposed Cruz directly into the line of fire. Cruz looked weak as a front runner. This is why he is tanking now. Brilliant tactical move by Trump!
I will re-publish all these biased polls after Cruz is declared the winner in Iowa. Bye Bye Trump...
YUGE Trump Iowa news ping!
The headline SHOULD read, “Liberty and the US Constitution Fade” if there is a Trump victory.
Thank you for the ping, prayers all thru today and tonight for Mr. Trump!!!
