In my neck of the woods Cruz commercials have been hitting security and 2A rights hard. One frequent radio spot is done in a woman's voice speaking first person about why she's voting for Cruz; it's well done.
Ted Cruz will steam ahead and take Iowa like a storm. Wow....
Yep, Trump ought to just pack it in now.
So could salmon shashimi.
I am 15 miles west of the swamp. Born 1 mile east of it.
Just reactivated twitter to follow Ted. In someways not tech savvy.
Interesting about Abbot.
Not surprised by the women factor.
I think Iowa is just another nut-case state overly influenced by the whore of Babylon - The Catholic Church.
The women I know (including myself) all think Trump is an ass, not because of his political stances (which IMO needed to be said) but because of the way he presents himself. It’s possible to be blunt and forthright without being rude and self-laudatory. Trump has apparently never learned that distinction.
I couldn’t agree more.
Iowa isn’t going to make or break anyone. Anyone who thinks that just because someone got a few thousand more votes in IA than the next guy will determine what millions of people in other states do is dreaming. I’m not just saying this about this election either, I’ve thought the IA caucuses are ridiculously overblown for a long time.
Well maybe but that dog won’t hunt in GA. Every woman I know owns a gun and is voting for Trump and every single one of us has at least one college degree if not two.
The Abbot campaign story is definitely insightful. I wonder what little surprises the internal polling is finding.
I've heard the same thing in talking with women in my area. I'd guess it's a regional/cultural thing, too. It may be SOP on the coasts, but in the heartland and evangelical culture such behavior is incredibly offensive.
Momentum is a valuable thing.
Of course Cruz is going to win Iowa. From everything I read here, it sounds like it’s full of religious nuts.
You have no idea. My ex-wife and her family are all from Iowa and they are all insane religiously. Being from, and having lived the vast majority of my life in, the east coast did not prepare me for that level of - uh - devotion.
I talked to ladies this week and each is supporting Trump. Each said it is past time to be forceful. We all agreed that the lower polling candidates need to get out. None liked Bush. GO TRUMP.
What's insane is believing that getting endorsements from people like Dobson, or having a father who is an itinerant pastor fallen away from Catholicism, is going to HELP Cruz win a national election.
Winning Iowa is unimportant.
Convincing the 90% of Republicans and Democrats who are not religious nuts that you are one is - crazy.
That is a repulsive remark
Indeed Iowa is blessed to have a politically active evangelical Christian population.
