Phew!
Carson looked like he was sleeping at the forum last night. (Even when he was speaking)
As long as Carson doesn’t go completely out, Trump will probably win Iowa. Trump doesn’t have a majority of the evangelical voters, but he does have quite a large number of them, only slightly behind other folks. Trump then conquers with new voters, moderates, liberals, the youth, the very conservative, etc.
Cruz and Carson are running a campaign just trying to reach out to this one narrow group. Outside of places like Iowa, it won’t play well.
In the general election, Cruz’s whole religious-based campaign would be bizarrely tied to Glenn Beck of Mormon cult fame and the stupidities and excesses of Dominionism/7 Mountains theology, as personified by his own grifter father.
Outside of this narrow group of folks who will be kookified by the media, Cruz, nor Carson for that matter, would have any broad appeal, whereas Trump is running away with the white blue collar vote, and Americans of every stripe, shape and size.
Bye, bye, Ben.
His natural constituency will dominate turnout...and he has the hard money to organize further turnout.
Anyone who doubts this is not paying attention.
That graft is symptomatic of the idiocy going on in this election. It has Rubio more conservative than Trump. I don’t care who drew it up, whoever did it is an idiot.
The other day on Hannity’s program, of the “front” runners, Michelle Malking rated Jeb! and Rubio as the worst. They are indistinguishable.
Again, Rubio MORE conservative than Trump? Trump has accomplished something in this world; Rubio just runs his mouth using his freaking talking points — if he is not occupied betraying the people who voted him in.
The survival of the nation rests on who will stand up against immigration in all its forms. It sure as hell is not Rubio!!!!!
After Iowa Cruz will fade rapidly since most activity thereafter is Primaries. And his money begins to dry up very quick when the real air wars start.
If or when Carson’s poll numbers collapse, the MSM will claim that it is because of the racist nature of Republicans.
Carson needs to take that momentum into a governor or senate race. Maryland would be an awesome place to have him pick up a seat.
He also starting talking about amnesty (he is for it). Just like all of the rest (except for Trump and Cruz).
lol that chart is dumb
exactly
Finally!
Maybe they are finally listening to some of the things he is actually saying — that are miles from being considered conservative.
You realize Cruz and Cruz-supported PACs have a ton of money, right?
I think Trump still has a card up his sleeve in Iowa— and that is, the people the media generally considers as “unlikely primary voters” because they would be first time voters.
It’s clear that Trump is creating an energy that simply didn’t exist before. Trump is getting more people to go to his rallies than Saint Rick or any of the other previous winners of Iowa ever did.
Cruz strikes me as stale, and boring, so does Carson. Carson had a lot of facebook likes, most likely purchased, but where are his huge rallies? For that matter, where is Cruz getting any of these huge rallies with 10,000+ people?
It's probably one of [Carson's] weakest stances," said Chris Boley, a business owner who attended the Family Leader event and is now leaning toward Rubio. "That doesn't mean he can't get up to speed, but he has some catching up to do...In this day and age, with how important national defense is, with terrorism in the Middle East, you've got to be real studied."Mr. Boley should take his own advice to study up on issues of national security importance and carefully research Marco Rubio's promises versus his actions after an election on the critical national security issue of amnesty for illegal aliens that were never apprehended or vetted before crossing our borders. Rubio's proven record of deceiving voters should give Mr. Boley pause to reconsider if this is the man we can trust to be Commander in Chief. The answer is definitely NO!
Nope, don't think so. Iowa is not the South. The South is religious, but it isn't the special type of stupid that votes for Romney, or Santorum, a Roman Catholic and a Mormon (in reverse order), just because they can give some religious one liners. That's not to say that the South wouldn't vote Catholics, but they wouldn't vote for them for purely religious reasons. The proof of that is that Carson, in any of the polls, never did as well in the South as he did in Iowa, aside perhaps from weird polls put out by Quinnipac, whose pollster spent 24/7 ranting about how bad Trump is and how great Ben Carson is, before revealing he is a Democrat.
