Way too soon to project a winner in Iowa. But I agree that Republicans put too high a priority on the Iowa Caucus. Even Reagan didn't win the Iowa Caucus in 1980. Mike Huckabee won it in 2008! That tells you how useless it is as an indicator.

My gut feeling is that Trump will win all the primaries and caucuses by large margins. People are just so fed up with establishment politicians that they will be willing to cast their lot with Trump.

As for the other two non politicians, I don't see Carson or Fiorina catching fire like Trump has done. I think this nomination is Trump's to lose at this point.

For the final winner? Maybe.

For picking the top two or three Iowa has been pretty good.

Though I do wish I was back in Nebraska. Missing work because a candidate is eating near by sucks.

I think Snarly's already lost that *lovin' feeling*.....now it's gone, gone, gone....

That early burst Fiorina got after the debate seems to have really worn off- at 6% in our new national poll and she had 8% a month ago— PublicPolicyPolling (@ppppolls) October 5, 2015

I agree with you a thousand percent. Reagan lost NH to Bush, then I think ran away with it.

Trump may very well lose Iowa, but I don’t see him losing after that.

By then you have to figure Carson, Trump, Fiorina, Cruz maybe even Rubio will still be in. I see Bush with less than 4 % but he won’t drop out until the convention.

Which ticks me off. I mean, at what point do you say as a candidate, “Okay, the polls have spoken. The people want Trump this time around. Let’s rally around the man, and win!”

But no, those bast*rds will hang in there til the end.

NO OTHER CANDIDATE AT THIS POINT SPEAKS FOR ME. NO OTHER CANDIDATE MAKES SENSE. TRUMP STANDS TO CHANGE THE COMPLEXION OF POLITICS. NO MORE CAREER GUYS. THE PRESIDENCY IS FOR THE STRONGEST GUY... THE STRONGEST MAN OR WOMAN... A BUSINESS LEADER.. NOT A MOUTH PIECE LIKE THE GUY THERE NOW.
