I also congratulate Cruz for his victory tonight. It saddens me to see Free Republic bitterly divided between Cruz and Trump. As a Trump supporter, I could easily settle for Cruz as a consolation prize should he beat Trump fair and square. As for Rubio, I consider him GOPe and would much prefer Trump or Cruz to him (even Carson or Rand Paul). I've supported GOPe candidates in the past (after they got the nomination) but would like the opportunity to vote for an actual conservative in the general election. I haven't had that opportunity since Reagan, when I was still a young man.

That said, I will support whoever the Republicans nominate against who the Democrats have up. Bernie Sanders and Shrillary, are you kidding me? We must beat either of these guys in November.

Right now Shrillary and Bernie are pretty much 50-50 in Iowa. I'm laughing at that. In 2008, the much ballyhooed Clinton had her head handed to her by a community organizer out of Chicago. Now she has her hands full with a full-blown washed up socialist from Vermont. Is she not the worst presidential candidate ever?

Well maybe Jebbie Bush can give her a run for the money. I think the former frontrunner is struggling to maintain 3% of the vote tonight. I think Barbara Bush needs to intervene and save her son from further embarrassment, don't you think?

So onto New Hampshire we go. It's 8 days away and I guess anything could happen, even though Trump is currently up by a huge amount. I think Trump gave a very gracious speech tonight. Hey Trump supporters, look on the bright side. He only lost by about 6,000 votes and he only has one less delegate than Cruz. So basically a tie heading into New Hampshire - where 16 more delegates are at stake, I believe.

Maybe the loss will do Trump some good in the long run. Just like it did with Reagan in 1980. We shall see.

May the best conservative win...this is just the beginning.

And Iowa, no offense, but I'll be glad to have you guys in my rear view mirror for the next four years. It's been a long, strange trip.

I’m happy with Cruz or Trump.

Would also love to see Cruz on the Supreme Court.

Had to laugh at this though:

Ann Coulter

Based upon exit polls, Rubio seems to have gotten the lion’s share of the Prevaricating Little Weasel vote.
