Everyone is spinning the Iowa results from last night. Marco Rubio had a surprisingly good night and Donald Trump had a surprisingly mediocre one, the big winner was Ted Cruz.
No, not just because he was the actual winner of Iowa. But because of just how different his victory is from candidates in the past. It's monumental.
Think about it for a second:
The candidate who openly talked about...

Posting about ideas is one thing.. the promotion of ideas.
Posting only your own stuff is self-promotion.

That pootwhistle is only promoting himself.
Maybe he should post in bloggers or ?
Crowder didn’t post it, so all is well.
It’s his actions here, not his material, which is the issue.
Sorry, strike the second paragraph in my reply. It appears that as of 2016, the party requires delegates to be bound to the results of the caucus.
I’m finding conflicting information on whether or not Jeb! will receive one delegate or not (that is his share, but he didn’t make the supposed 3.33% of the vote cutoff).

Well by all means, don’t bother posting about what you refuse to read.
Good post, despite what irresponsibility says...
When the Dow is struggling because of an oil glut, I think that ending ethanol subsidies is 100% strategic and 100% principle. Older cars are not built to handle ethanol, and all small engines from lawnmowers to generators have a very short lifespan on it.
Besides the fact it costs more energy to make it than it saves, it reduces gas mileage in all cars and shortens the life span. Ethanol is corrosive to Oil.
Cruz wins by one point when it was called for Trump by a large margin and commenting on it is hysteria? Now that is sold to the package and not the contents...
If you think a Constitutional Conservative cannot push through a conservative agenda against RINO’s, why do you think that voting for a RINO to accomplish the same thing makes sense?! I really falter at the logic.
It smacks of liberal speak that they have won, so don’t bother trying to vote your conscience, just vote for the Democratic lesser of two evils. Is that not loosing?
Trust me, when Carson stated that the pyramids were for storing grain, he dropped out with 90% of voters. The reason Carson voters moved to Rubio or Cruz is because they at least live lives that indicate moral clarity. People who are Church goers tend to understand morality has importance in the ability to trust people.
Anybody can say they are Christian, living it another matter entirely.
“Why do you think that voting for a RINO to accomplish the same thing makes sense?! I really falter at the logic.”
Who said I’m supporting a RINO? That’s your take on it. Trump is very solid on a few very key issues like national sovereignty vis a vis our borders, trade, and Muslim immigration. He has a pro-growth tax plan that includes changing the rules so that billions in corporate profits from overseas can come back to this country. That’s plenty for a conservative to be happy about. And, he’s his own man, who has a long record of getting things done.
You from Iowa?
Todays spot price is 29.55 at market close. I think that ethanol serves only to prop up the price of gas at the pump now.
Go to your local small aircraft airport and buy some 100 octane Aviation Gas. It is alcohol free and small engines love it after you re tune them for real gas. Do not run it in your car, it has too much lead in it for catalytic converters to digest. All the loggers around here use it in their chain saws.
On another note, it keeps for over a year just fine even without Stabil in it.
Thanks, for posting that. I didn’t spend the time to find one that was current through today. But then I wasn’t saying we were still in an oil price spike. We just came through one.
The ethanol probably contributed to the spike not being worse than it was and to bringing down the oil price faster.
We don’t want to leave our economy subject to the whims of OPEC countries. So that’s a reason to continue the ethanol production.
Good post about the importance of humility in leadership.
Well that is your take on it, I see Trump as a long history of Government pandering, and bankruptcies. I guess we see different sides of the same coin.
Didn't bother reading the article, eh?
Someone ran on ENDING SUBSIDIES, and did so in the state that would be directly affected, AND WON.
This is YUGE news for those who care about limited government, no matter ho your candidate is. America may actually be ready to vote against Santa. That is worth noting.
So, will you object if I send people to my “blog” on Harry Reid, given I’m about the only one in America that tracks his corruption? Say I was at some point responsible for Reid’s indictment. Would you shut me down too?
Crowder is far past being a blog”. So am I for that matter. Use some common sense, this is a new world. Or is Fox your definition of alll that is acceptable?
“From the desk of the Tiger Lily.
For all the non-Iowans, here’s a firsthand eyewitness account from people who were there last night.
“The caucus last night and Iowa was rigged. The people there are all talking about how unorganized it was and that you could vote as many times as you want it because there were so many people there they didn’t know how many ballots you were going up and grabbing after you voted once. And people reading the votes could have lied about who the candidate was who was voted for because only one person saw it and then it was thrown in a box”
Clearly there needs to be major reform in the primary process. The Dept of “Justice” has already denied several states their right to demand mandatory photo ID in Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Wisconsin so far. Those of you who care about the elections not being stolen must bring this up to your GOP people and raise a big stink, because this is something the states have the right to control. You can’t do much about proving e-vote fraud with corrupt software, but you CAN make a difference here.”

I did not know there is no voter ID in Iowa-or South Carolina. I also did not know that people could vote in the caucus multiple times or that only one person - without a backup - saw the ballot to count it.
