I was listening to Mark Levin’s radio show last night during which he expressed his frustration with how the GOP has allowed itself to be mired in meaningless “scandals†at the expense of making a clear case for conservatism and addressing policy. I agree with him. It is absolutely unbelievable to me that despite having a very strong lineup of candidates, on tp of 8 years of disastrous progressive liberalism, we could be in danger of losing this nation to a SOCIALIST?
While the media (even on our side) obsesses over tweets, there are critical issues we should be discussing. But that doesn’t meet the media’s agenda. Nor does having a strong conservative do well.
Levin pointed out some statistics from Iowa, as reported by the Weekly Standard, which you’ll find shocking.
As has been widely reported, Donald Trump’s appeal has mostly been to blue-collar voters, and he has risen to the top of the polls by blasting open-border immigration policies and the business-as-usual way of Republican—and American—politics. It is therefore striking that the Iowa entrance polling suggests that Trump lost among blue-collar voters (or, more specifically, among voters without college degrees) to Ted Cruz.
[Levin points out that two-thirds of the population do NOT have college degrees, so this a crucial data point]
According to entrance polling, among the roughly half of all Republican voters without a college degree, Cruz won 30 percent of the vote, eclipsing Trump’s 28 percent. Marco Rubio was a distant third, winning the support of just 17 percent of voters without college degrees.

Wife, fiance, not much difference in my book.
I don’t think the establishment is afraid of Cruz because they know they can easily take him out. It’s obvious that they don’t want him and it’s obvious that he couldn’t win a general election even if they did support him. Look at society today. He would be perceived and portrayed as a religious zealot. His campaign co-chair, Steve King, would be the poster child for a modern day Medieval Inquisition. (Very hypocritical because they can’t recognize the dangers of Islam but that’s just the way it is.) It’s sad but I don’t ever see us going back to being a God fearing country like it use to be. Unless something so devastating happens that the phrase ‘there are no atheists in a foxhole’ comes into play.
“Regardless of what happens, it’s in God’s hands.”
Unless God has washed his hands of us as a nation.
I'm trying to stay away from most of the Cruz vs. Trump threads. More heat than light being shed.

8 delegates to Trump’s 7 in Iowa was crushing. Right?
You have to wonder how there can’t be rampant Fraud in Iowa when the voting is as simple as writing the candidate’s name on a piece of paper and submitting that as your ballot. Talk about fraud!
Frankly I’m more interested in what the Orange Crush will do against Cam Newton.
Something tells me West is helping Rubio.
