I think he won NH too, then Reagan exploded.

Nope. After Iowa, Reagan fired his campaign manager John Sears who was an inept fool, hired Bill Casey (who later became his CIA Director) and Reagan kicked Poppy RINO's ass all the way to the convention.

My position precisely.

If one is the nominee, I’d love to see the other become the running mate.

Ted Cruz has demonstrated repeatedly that he will oppose the interests of former major contributors to his Senate campaign for the public good and in adherence to his conservative principles.

The link below is an excellent article on the topic. I encourage you to read it. In the article, note the stark contrast lobbyists have encountered with Cruz compared to Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) and Cruz's predecessor in the Senate, Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Cruz's ideology trumps Texas' interests, businesses complain

He's [Cruz] not ready

Who IS ready then, and in your estimation, worthy of your vote?

I’d be very happy with either.

I just think Trump might do better in the general. Also he would be better at emasculating the media and the agencies.

Because Cruz can't win without donors and all donors are pro-amnesty.

That's false.

Apparently for many the cross between Elmer Gantry (without the booze) and Huey Long (without the sweat and the Southern accent) is...

An executive who has never had to worry about silly things like Constitutional constraints and who tells it as he sees it (which is not necessarily as it is)???

That Trump?

Trump’s “Incredible executive experience” is the reason that the vast majority reject him.

The things he has done in business are demonstrative of the character needed in any public office, let alone the top job.

Awesome. The momentum an Iowa win generates can’t be denied but I will maintain that it doesn’t really mean much. They haven’t chosen correctly in years. One could argue it may even be the kiss of death to win Iowa.

And I’m a Cruz man make no mistake!

Just pointing out its not worth getting TOO excited about. Whoever wins there. It’s still good news though again do not get me wrong.

I am looking forward to the primary voting results. Polling is interesting but its the voting that really matters!

Everyone surges except Trump. Cruz putting all his eggs in Iowa, which frankly is meaningless.

Ok, I’ll rephrase it, all major blockbuster donors are pro-amnesty. Again, a candidate can’t win without those big backers. It’s the reality.

the Florida senator leads the GOP field among women in Iowa with 23 percent support.

The JFK effect.
