The problem with the ‘clean out the Supreme Court’ rationale and Trump is his pro-abortion Judge sister who Trump see’s as a viable candidate for the nation’s highest court.

With 3 likely justices to come in the next four years... Cruz is the only candidate that will reliably clean out the court.

Cruz needs to be the nominee... Trump should be in charge of building the wall along our southern border.

“Oh my. What will the Cruzers say today??”

Trumphole. Trumpette. Trumpster. Trump worshipper.

And other comparably edifying and reasoned responses.

It’s now tied in Iowa!!

*******************

It will get untied on Feb. 1 sometime after 7 pm.

Any speculation on Trump’s approach to caucus day? What do you
think he’ll be doing, saying to encourage people to go caucus?

Tell that to the thousands and thousands who came out out on a three day notice to fill the 18,500 arena in Dallas

What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,
And the dry stone no sound of water...

I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

How can this be?

Cruz was pulling away?

Is Trump the "Comeback Kid?"

I would only caution you against celebrating too early. I have noticed this tendency among your cohorts.

Isn’t this proportional? I mean are we talking one delegate either way?

Trump is gonna win it. I dont know if He Knows What He Is Doing or if it is something like instinct, but he does it.

I would not be too concerned about head to head polls this far out. Hillary is IMHO unelectable and either Cruz or Trump beats her. I think Trump in a landslide, Cruz in a election.

I also notice that the younger someone gets, the more they support Trump. Cruz leads by 5 or 6 points among the geriatric crowd, and leads a little bit among people in their late 40s and into their 50s. But then begins to lose with people in their late 30s to mid 40s, and then is utterly dominated for everyone not in their 30s.

So this raises the question: how much are they weighing the elderly vote? In a normal election, maybe these people have a lot of representation in the Iowa caucus, since they are old and their kids don’t visit them and they have nothing better to do. But I wonder how much that will change with increased turnout among everybody under the age of 45?

I'm not terribly worried about Iowa, even if Cruz wins. What concerns me is looking at real clear politics polls is that on a head to head Trump losing to Hillary and Sanders. Cruz seems to do better on the head to head - good thing is still a long way to go to the General.

That's only because trump has name recognition. If people don't like Hillary - there are lots of them - and they see her name vs Cruz whom they may have a few very vague notions about, they will express their displeasure with H by voting for Cruz. It will even out. Cruz has barely started getting any national attention, and with that will come alot of negatives.

Fret not!

This is nonsense...
Take your GOPe garbage elsewhere...


Sorry, it doesn’t get any more GOPe than TPA and H-1B increases. And “Lion of conservatism” Ted Cruz campaigned for both. Time for Cruz supporters to admit the truth and eat their peas.

IMO, the ‘jump the shark’ video was fair-game, just as Trump did not directly confront Cruz on the birther issue.

Both guys behaving themselves on that score at least.

“With 3 likely justices to come in the next four years... Cruz is the only candidate that will reliably clean out the court.”

That is nothing but an empty boast.

Or do you need to be reminded of Reagan’s SCOTUS picks and how they turned out?

Hahah!

I’m glad for Cruz if he wins Iowa. He deserves that much at least.
