Iowa Sen. Grassley introduces Trump at event in Iowa

Not an endorsement but warm intro from Iowa Senator Grassley before Trump's in Pella. The entire Iowa GOP is lining up against Cruz.

Grassley echoes Trump's slogan: "We have an opportunity once again to make America great again."

Sen. Grassley says he's excited to be here and "with this candidate."

I hate to be trite, but that is yuuge.

If Trump wins Iowa, I give it a 90% chance he runs the entire Republican table. Every state.

We’ll support anyone instead of a real conservative.

Nothing says “anti-establishment” quite like Chuck freaking Grassley.

This has become theater of the absurd.

This could seriously hurt Cruz. Unlike the divisive Branstad, Grassley is beloved in Iowa. Ted can try and spin it as "GOPe" but that's not really accurate, because of Grassley's patriotic views on immigration.

Trump and Grassley worked together last August to develop the H1-B visa reform part of Trump's immigration manifesto (which he also wrote with Sen, Jeff Sessions). Grassley and Trump want to

“force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas.”

Cruz, by contrast proposed a 500% increase in H1-B visas, and Bush and Rubio want them UNLIMITED.

It is a big deal. Grassley is big in Iowa.

I'd forgotten about Axlegrease's brilliant ploy:

I don’t like Grassley. But you know what this tells me? The GOPe sees the handwriting on the wall, and if they want ANY say in the Trump administration, they need to climb on board the Trump Train.

[Jane Austen]

Exactly.

[LS]

Nothing says “next Pres” like sitting senators running in to do introductions. Handwriting, meet wall.

[rainee]

Agreed, my neighbor is from Iowa..has tons of family/friends there & said Grassley endorsement goes a long way, it’s a big F’n deal!

[cripplecreek]

LOL

[be-baw]

At the risk of picking nits, the article began with, “not an endorsement”

[donna]

Senator Grassley. Big.

[gg188]

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

He’s winning the nomination, that’s fairly obvious at this point.

Next Pres? Not on your life.

[Cboldt]

So, who is the next president going to be?

[LS]

Oh yeah. And it won’t be all that close. So far, he has led Cankles in PA, FL, MI, and been tied (old poll) in OH. it wouldn’t be a Reagan landslide, but it could be a reverse 08.
