Cruz will beat Trump in Iowa. And it won’t even be close. And you can take that to the bank.

Yup. 6 latest polls. And Hilary is easily beating Trump in 5 of them with no sweat.

One stupid caucus ( Iowa actually holds a primary later ) does not a primary season make.
No way that Cruz actually beats Trump and becomes the nominee!

Historically, most GOP nominees have won in Iowa though. That of course doesn't include Santorum or Huckabee.

SC and NH are in Trump’s camp.

NH likes their liberals and SC has an open primary.

Here is an interesting breakdown in the latest Fox SC poll:

At the rate she is going, she is consistently beating your messiah Herr Trump. And it’s not name recognition either. Trump has as much name recognition as Hilary Clinton.

“.. And I guarantee you something else. If Trump isn’t the nominee but Ted Cruz is, they’ll do the same thing. They won’t support a Ted Cruz nomination, either. At the highest levels Republican Party, they’re in a constant panic. ‘Cause they’re know even if they do succeed, if they were to succeed in taking Trump out, now they’re looking at Cruz. And that scares them even more. Don’t doubt me.”

Hitler was a Nazi who aligned with those who wanted to exterminate Jews.

“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a controversial statement as he was leaving for Germany on the role of Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. Netanyahu’s statement suggesting that the idea of genocide against the Jews of Europe originated with the Mufti and not Hitler was overstatement, and quickly walked back by Netanyahu (but not before Netanyahu’s political enemies had a field day with it).

But there is a silver lining in Netanyahu’s political gaffe - people now are talking about the role of the Grand Mufti in the European genocide.

We have discussed the Mufti’s Nazi-sympathies and assistance here before, so it’s not new to us.

But given the current “Knife Intifada,” in which the agitation to kill Jews is pervasive in Palestinian culture, it’s clear that there is a direct line from the Mufti’s Nazi-affiliation to the Jew hatred that motivates the current conflict....”

Trump will get a lot of Democrat votes in open primaries, not for the reason given, but because many Democrats don’t like Hillary and are fed up with the extreme left and the elites of both parties. They used to be called Reagan Democrats, but for the next few decades they will be known as Trump Democrats.

That's NOT so.

Please help me out then, when has Trump talked about shrinking Big Government, shrinking government spending, cutting back programs and agencies?

If so, what areas and how?

Reagan had a 20 year track record as a conservative Republican - served 2 terms as a Republican governor of CA, was divorced by his 1st wife because of his political positions. He remained a Republican once he made the change in 1962 until he died in 2004.

Donald trump is what (currently) an Independent? a Republican? He was a Democrat (again) as recently as 2009 (that time for 8 years).

Hard to tell with this guy.

Rush says his supporters may well be disappointed where Trump lands (positions he’ll take) on issues he’s so “extreme” on now, because as Trump in his book “Art of the Deal” describes, you must propose something outrageous so that you can eventually get what you want - which, of course, is much different).

"So, it would behoove liberal voters to cross over to the Republican races and vote for whom they think will be the most unelectable candidate now running. Oddly, the Times thinks that person is Cruz ..."

Yep, when the rubber meets the road the drop the Trump is 'unelectable' meme and pick someone else.

Of course if they had a brain they would cross over for Jebbie who would lose soundly against their HillaryBeast. Let's hope they never grow a brain.

Personally, I want them to continue the 'Trump is unelectable' delusion and urge their fellow (D)ummycrats to cross over and support him so that the GOPe elitists have strokes. This level of Schadenfreude would be like Christmas year 'round.

If this were a race between Hillary and Cruz...there would be the dynamic of three debates lingering out there. Hillary....even with three moderators working with her at their top form...could not take down or marginalize Cruz in a debate.

In a debate? Almost certainly not.

But what you are talking about are not debates, they are TV shows scripted to appear like debates. Joe Biden, who is not the shiniest pebble on the beach, made a fool out of Paul Ryan in that format.

Cruz can't win a single state Romney lost.
