Here’s another great point Obama didn’t start to get the big crowds until Spring or March of 2008 well into the primary season. Trump has been doing it for months.

Trump had already said to be on the lookout for this bias Des Moines Register poll. Same paper that has called for him to get out of the race.

>> “Trump already told them that he is Christian” <<

.
And real Christians know the difference, so he will say what he will and we will know what we know.

Hoping Trump and Cruz do not fall for it.

I hope they put their heads together ahead of time and manipulate it to their advantage.

After all, the establishment still has an entire cadre of delegate siphoners still in the republican race. That is no accident.

Right on all counts.
Christie is the Establishment’s ‘Knight of the Month”.

And Cruz and Trump need to use their “cage fight” billing at the debate to whipsaw the media, instead of being whipsawed.
I hope they both spend the whole time saying what a wonderful guy the other is (well, with a few digs of course).

The media will use this poll AND Hugh Hewitt and the panel will USE this poll to try to use Cruz to take down Trump.

They will praise Christie in a hope to syphon off Trump support in New Hampshire. They are planning a board game against true Conservatives and are using pawns, some willingly like Kasich, to take down Trump.

Trump will beat Hillary. Joe Scarbrough said on Hugh Hewitts program last week that he hated to admit that if Trump wins, Hillary will lose. And then Hewitt was praising Christie.

They are just trying to make sure Trump doesn’t win. They DO NOT want Hilary to be publicly humiliated by Trump on live TV during a debate. Trump would sloughier Clinton in a debate to the point of nothing we’ve seen before and her campaign is fragmented that she might be humiliated on live TV.

"Just ask some Trump supporter. They always seem to know what Trump meant to say."

Trump can hold his own. He doesn't say anything behind closed doors.

And when he says things out in the open, resulting in follow up questions asking him if he really meant them, he doesn't hem and haw and say, "I din do nuffin'."

“That’s amazing considering that half of Trump’s supporters should really be Cruz supporters. “

I was but after months of waiting for him to come out with an immigration plan- months after every other candidate did-I gave up and went with the one with an America-first plan. Cruz finally came out with one, but it’s second rate so I’m staying put.

“I always like it when a “Conservative” calls a guy running on Reagan’s platform a cult leader. Reagan was a cult leader?”

I have noticed lately that Cruz supporters have started prattling about the “intellectual” and “non-emotional” reasons they have for supporting Cruz, and since they inhabit the intellectual high ground all Trump supporters are such simpletons, merely starry eyed lemmings chasing after “celebrity”. Now the fact that they get twitter-pated over Cruz is part of the intellectual process and completely legitimate.

Trump or Cruz looks like maybe

You have to chuckle at how many are acting here

If this holds up we’ve never had it so good if those are the two front runners

Hillary is hoping for Cruz to be the nominee. The LIberal media and now the upcoming CNN debates will try to use Cruz to take down Trump.

Trump already told them that he is Christian, he is religious and that his faith is important to him. He is also pro life and for the traditional definition of marriage. How much more do the people of Iowa want ?


Maybe he should tell the “stupid” voters of Iowa that he’s for ethanol subsidies also.....oh wait he did!!

That’s right. Make it about how your feelings are hurt, rather than about the weaknesses and flaws in your candidate.

Voter fraud. That won’t happen within the Republican Primary (unless done by the RNC).
