The RINOs are trying to soften up both Trump and Cruz so they can sneak Rubio into having a shot.
Cruz got a few million from two Christian brothers big in the fracking business. He’s trying to front load his campaign - putting it all in the early states - in hopes a win will propel him. If Cruz can’t win Iowa (which voted Huckabee and Santorum), he may only win Texas.
Ted is running ads against popular sitting Gov of Iowa. Not a bright strategy.
Christian votes are shared between Cruz, RUbio, Carson, Huckabee, Santrom. Libertarian will go to Paul and Trump. New/young voters may go for Trump. Fedup will go for Trump.
The establishment is pushing Rubio. Disgusting how Joni Ernst, for whom Palin campaigned, now is supporting Rubio.
