I win either way!! Either would be such an improvement over our last 2 candidates and incomparably better than our current empty suit potus. .
There’s no shame in taking the lead from Deace, King or Vander Plaats. These are strong, staunch conservatives who have earned trust among their listeners and supporters. If you’re someone who’s not a political junkie, doesn’t know who is a plausible candidate and who isn’t, you’d want to listen to those people. They did more than endorse, they offered fully detailed opinions and reasoning as to why they think those candidates are the best that could convince anybody.
Deace also has an incredible radio show that is as spot-on in its analysis of the rift between the establishment and the conservative grass-roots as any show including Mark Levin’s (Levin has called Deace a fantastic host on the air).
I had forgotten Bush took the lead in August.
Here is the recap again.
Bush leads Iowa. Then Walker. Then Trump. Then Carson. Then Trump
again. And now Cruz.
Apparently Iowa voters don’t think for themselves and are TOLD who
to support in any given week, just as you mentioned.
If Cruz is peaking too early, then it’ll be Rubio who benefits. Trumpus has already had his peak.
The reality is in the last caucus, all these power players waited until very late in the process to endorse, which is why Santorum just barely won and was a blip in the polls until that last week. I also think Deace endorsed Gingrich last time, while others endorsed Santorum, so it was split. This time the Iowa power players are trying to correct the mistakes they made last time. They know what they’re doing.
Also, keep in mind Romney only won because he carpet-bombed Newt with ads there. The establishment will have two targets to hit this time. And they have to know that even if they destroyed both, Carson might still benefit. So they are likely to simply write off Iowa entirely.
The Trumpets will continue to deny the implosion.
If the reverse happens, will the Cruzettes ‘deny the implosion’? Just checking.
LOLOL!!
They already have changed. Numerous times.
Bush lead Iowa in August. Then Walker. Then Trump. Then Carson.
Then Trump again. And now Cruz.
Yep. Things change often in Iowa.
Maybe it’s Trump supporters who don’t think for themselves and just do whatever Trump says. Including succumbing to the Jedi mind trick when he tells them “you don’t need to look at my not-so-conservative record on the issues.”
That DMR polls are usually wrong until the day before the election n when they race to push out a more accurate after promoting there push polls result lies for months.
In 2012’ , DMR has Newt in the lead.
http://articles.latimes.com/2011/dec/03/news/la-pn-iowa-poll-20111203
Did Newt win ?...... So much for that gold standard spin.
Its more like the most Radical Left Wing Rag in the Midwest playing Operation chaos games which is what the left wing DMR is famous for.
The Iowa caucus is no bellwether and is not a predictor of future primary success.
The fact is there have been 6 poll leaders in Iowa.
Iowans seem to have a difficult time deciding who to support
until they are told who to support, regardless of who the flavor of the
month candidate is.
Cruz selling us out to his wifes employer Goldman Sach and voting yes on cloture twice fir the Soros Tpp-Tpa treason treaty is conservative ?.
Cruz trying to increase H1 visas fir Cheap foreign labor for his billionaire owners is conservative too ? Cruz being owned by WSJ billionaire donors is conservative too ?..
I am tired if lying owned political hacks like Cruz
Even though I side with Trump, it would awsome if Cruz wins this straw poll:
Trump attacks Ted Cruz for not supporting ethanol subsidies

While I support Trump, I really hate ethanol subsidies and MANDATES.

There have been a lot of old-car fires lately ... Here’s one reason: The ethanol in modern gasolineâ€about 10 percent in many statesâ€â€is so corrosive, it eats through either the fuel-pump diaphragm, old rubber fuel lines or a pot metal part, then leaks out on a hot engine¦ and ka-bloooooie!!! [snip]
Ethanol will absorb water from ambient air. In a modern vehicle, with a sealed fuel system, ethanol fuel has a harder time picking up water from the air. But in a vintage car, the water content of fuel can rise, causing corrosion and inhibiting combustion. [snip]

Cruz denounces boost in ethanol during Q-C stop (Quad City, IA)

“... it shouldn’t be Washington picking winners and losers ... corporate welfare ...â€
so you declaring victory in SC already? You wanna spot me 21 points and put a few thousand on it?
I didn’t think so.
Another fake poll. The anti-Trump conspiracy widens...
No, your ability to follow and understand issues is retarded.
(Trump supporter here) There is no reason not to believe the polls, even though they may be wrong, especially when more data points validate the findings statistically. Sure, Selzer has a great reputation in Iowa, and her poll should be listened to even when it purports a result different from the others, but she has gotten races wrong before, and I tend to believe it is less reliable before election day in any event.
Anyway, right now, the combined recent polls suggest a statistically tied race between Cruz and Trump in Iowa. Arguably, the initial Cruz surge in Iowa occurred before Thanksgiving, and it is possible a further surge is occurring right now, both in Iowa and nationally.
For Cruz to win, he was probably always going to need to win Iowa to get the nomination (same goes for Carson) because he has almost no chance of winning in NH given his coalition. Similarly, Trump probably needs to win NH, but that goes for a whole host of other candidates (which is part of the problem for those candidates).
Personally, I’ve never seen how Trump gets more than 25% in Iowa without changing the turnout model because the state’s electorate should not be favorable to him (as opposed to NH or especially SC). That being said, he has certainly retained his support in Iowa for many months, which is at least 20%. This suggests they are unlikely to move away from him in the future. It also means, given the number of candidates, a likely 2nd place finish at worst.
One last thing: the Cruz coalition is different than the Carson coalition, even though there is overlap. I would not make the assumption that the remaining Carson voters will naturally go to Cruz should they leave him. Carson is also close, IMO, to being a dead duck (I would have argued that he had no chance in the beginning, unlike Cruz), but he is not dead yet, especially in Iowa.
Those that have preferences need to consider getting off the pot and starting to ante up if they want to have some say in the deal instead of spewing a lot of words while other operate the controls...
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader
PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
Most of what you wrote is an outright lie unworthy of further response. The rest is twisted half-truths that shows you are a troll who is to be ignored.
