Ted Cruz won last week's Iowa caucuses, exceeding expectations and capturing an impressive 27 percent of the vote. Donald Trump took second place, while Marco Rubio took third.
What happened next?...

I won’t need to Trump is going to likely run most of the table from here on out. :-)
Well at least until Cruz hits the basement. :-)
How many of the 40 million is Trump deeming “good” and bringing back in “expedited” fashion after he deports them?
btw, here in North Dakota, businesses were importing people from all over the world to work in retail, restaurants for a time because we had a severe shortage of people to fill the jobs available. Some I met were from Brazil and a number of southeast Asian countries. They came here, worked a few months and were rotated out.
And they didn’t work for minimum wage. No one here does.
Well, I guess we know you only read Washing Board Post; and all the other assorted lefty stuff .. because your response is so over the top WRONG, I’m ROTFLOL.
Well Bush is “misunderestimating” him.
Nobody around here was abusing anybody. All the foreigners I met were happy, friendly and a delight! The business owners were at wits end trying to find enough people to work. There were also a number of people from other states as well. I met one very nice young black lady from NYC. She was excited to be here. Another was a young white man from southern Florida. He got a job at a local convenience store but had ambitions of hooking up with a job in the Bakken fields.(he arrived here in the middle of a harsh winter and was in no hurry? :p
I visit with lots of people and ask a question or two. People love to talk about themselves to someone who is interested in what they have to say.
I don’t know how much money Trump had in 1982. I don’t think Trump’s father provided him much actual money when Trump was starting out. It was mainly his father’s reputation and political connections that Trump benefited from. Trump couldn’t get financing in the beginning, so his father signed on to tens of millions of dollars in loan guarantees.
For what its worth, Dixville Notch results will be in tonight at midnight.
“Cruz has peaked, IMO”
Reminds me of John Wayne’s response to Richard Boone’s character in ‘Big Jake’ to the question “I thought you were dead?”.
He overcame the biggest negatives in the history of polling to become number one in the GOP race.
This has been noted. The point I'm making is how he did it, and it's very simple. He overcame all those negatives to become an overwhelming front runner.
He knows how to do these things. He knows how to set the narrative. He knows how to go over the heads of the media and win. He's done it already in front of our eyes, and he's the only reason Jeb is out of the race and Cruz is not stuck on 5%.
As I said, when the general comes he will do the same thing there. He is the only one who can overcome them, Cruz will get demolished if he wins, because it will be the first time he has not had Trump to take the heat, draft for him, and once the media can focus on him he will be fair game, and likely a deer in the headlights.
Ben Carson brought his own campaign down...he forgot he isn’t in a Hospital operating room but in a Presidential race....Nobody hurt his campaign...Ben did this by himself , he was already doing that all on his own. Too bad his staff didn’t handle things better...but even then that wouldn’t have made a difference for Carson. He knew he was on the way out before this last debate he showed up for.
Then Carson says there’s a missing tweet??? and we’re suppose to believe that?.....the guys been milking this news cycle for profit while he continues to take in donations.
You missed the point entirely.
I considered Trump a negative originally, somewhat of a joke.
He slowly won me over, so I'm living proof it can be done.
There are good reasons to support him, and the Cruz first (and only) crowd is sadly delusional to not understand what they are. Flat out, they simply don't want to try to understand.
Well, you did too. You took my initial post and bastardized it. Illegal aliens had absolutely nothing to do with Trumps success and you damn well know it.
“That phony outrage story has no legs as evidenced by the fact that Cruz is now tied for second place in NH.”
As Iowa proved, he may well be in first place with the only poll that matters, the one in the poll booth.
Reagan did sign pay checks on the front, he had employees on his ranch.
