Doesn't matter to me.
All I care about is who is principled where conservatism is concerned and trust-worthy.
Trump fails at both and Cruz succeeds at both.
ergo, Cruz gets my vote.

Your best bet for burning it down is Cruz. I don't know about that.
If we can't deport all the illegals, or cause them to leave on their own, nothing (and I mean NOTHING) else matters.
Ted's a squish on the deportation issue, while Trump is dead set on sending them back. Ideological purity won't win the day this time around. The candidate who can convince the people that he can (and will) do what it takes to save the nation, will win.

Dead-set on sending them back and then letting them back into immediately and allowing them to get citizenship, just another form of Amnesty called touch-back amnesty.
Something Ted Cruz is dead set against.

Nope, just the opposite. Ted has the best anti-illegal immigration of all the candidates. It is detailed and all spelled out. Have you seen the documented plan of Trump's????
I haven't. Oh, he says a lot of vague things, but where it the plan?

Polls from here on out will be a lot more predictive of the final outcomes in each state.Here in Colorado we typically don't know the final outcome of our caucuses until the delegates show up on the floor at the national convention and start voting for Ron Paul.

Dead-set on sending them back and then letting them back into immediately and allowing them to get citizenship, just another form of Amnesty called touch-back amnesty. That's a meme that was dreamed up by knee-jerk Trump haters. Trump has maintained from the outset that he wants all illegals to go home, then apply for citizenship the LEGAL way.
What did you want Trump to say - something like Ted did?
"We can have a conversation about what to do with those who remain after the border is secured."
~ Ted Cruz
A "conversation"? Really, Ted? Why don't you just come right out and say that you're not in favor of forcing any of them to return to their home countries?
I swear, that sort of slippery talk from Ted just drives me nuts, and is very disappointing, as he's my state Senator.

Never mind the fact that he’s an immoral (or is that amoral?), unscrupulous snake.
I guess he is ‘ideologically pure’. It’s just that his ideology is so depraved, it’s kind of an oxymoron.

Trump's is clear about what he proposes to do with the 40 million illegal invaders who are colonizing our country. He's going to send them home.
Cruz's plan only calls for deporting "criminal aliens". It says nothing at all about what he'll do with Manuela and Javier, who are taking jobs away from Americans, transforming our neighborhoods, filling the public hospitals, crowding our kids out of THEIR schools, and sucking down welfare dollars like a cool drink of water.

It'll be just as hard to predict as Iowa, in that case.Colorado's virtual non-participation in the selection of presidential candidates, due to our corrupt and unrepresentative caucus system, makes us little more than spectators in the process. The lack of a presidential primary is one of the reasons I'm registered Unaffiliated. I'm not missing much, and it cuts down on the junk mail.

Just checked the nightly FR caucus thread and it seems to be neck and neck between Trump and Cruz.
I saw one vote for Paul, one for Santorum, and one for (believe it or not) Rubio.

Great victory by reverend Cruz dragging 51649 evangelicals to vote in caucus out of state population of 3,107,000 Iowans.
Now Cruz should win in NH next by 4 !!!
But where the heck are the evangelicals in NH?
