“Surges”?
More like “squeaks” isn’t it? He’s behind Trump by more than double.
Are Cruz’s antics snapping back at him?
Once again, it looks like Trump’s so-called childishness, this time about what Cruz did to possibly steal votes in Iowa, actually has substance and gravitas.
This whole thing is pretty fascinating really I think. We’ll see how it all plays out. Trump seems like he’s pissed that politics is so sleazy and he’s going to call these yokels out on it. About time. Welcomed and refreshing.
In winning the battle, Cruz may have lost the war.
I guess his calculation was he absolutely had to win Iowa by any means necessary to have a chance going forward, so he took the risks of sleazing it up.
“Once again, it looks like Trump’s so-called childishness, this time about what Cruz did to possibly steal votes in Iowa, actually has substance and gravitas.”
No, it looks like Trump is a whining idiot! Cruz did not steal anything. Stealing is when you have fake ballots caste. Stealing is when you find a box of ballots in the garage, or you have 120% of the registered voters in a precinct voting.
Repeating a news story, and even putting your spin on it, is NOT cheating. Hell, lying about another candidate - something Trump does all the time (’Ben Carson is psychotic, like a child molester’) - is not out of bounds.
Where have you lived all your life?
That poll is a three day rolling average, which means Rubio crushed it yesterday if he went up that much and Trump went down more than the poll suggests. Look at it again in three days and we will know more. Cruz stayed the same which means his support is solid.

I recall cries that Obama stole the re-election and how conservatives wished Romney fought for verification. Here comes Trump and some conservatives forget that this is the kind of fighter we lamented we did not have against Obama.
