Maybe Trump will hold that lead over the next few days, who knows? As a perpetual reminder, Rick Santorum trailed in Iowa by 15 points a week before he won the caucuses in 2012, so it's very smart to assume that things could change dramatically.

But polling often does a poor job of predicting one of the most important aspects of what will happen on the night of the caucuses: Who will turn out and for whom. I've been on a bit of a kick to this effect for a few days now, but I can't reinforce it enough. If Trump or Cruz can't get their people to the polls, an easy race can become a close race and a close race can become a disaster.

Sanctorum’s Iowa campaign manager in 2012 and Trump’s Iowa campaign manager in 2016 are the same person.

Ive been contacted a lot by this guy in Nigeria. Has 85 million dollars he needs to get out of Africa. Will pay me 5 million if I just send him my bank account #.

No matter how many times he contacts me, im not giving him my account number. I kinda smell a rat. It’s like that.

My suspicion is that Trump does not want to get to close to the voters in Iowa because of his already demonstrated ignorance of biblical Christianity - so he trumped up this ‘war’ with Fox so that he could blame them for his poor showing in Iowa - and bypass the fact that the voters might just see through him.

I get emails from Cruz about once a week asking for money.

I haven’t gotten a single email from Trump asking for money.

So I guess Cruz has contacted me and Trump hasn’t. But Trump has my support.

As a Trump supporter, if a pollster called me, I wouldn’t tell.them I am voting for Trump. I’d give them some BS answer.

“is he eligible?”

Cruz is too scared to go to court, even though he’s a brilliant lawyer.

“Sanctorum’s Iowa campaign manager in 2012 and Trump’s Iowa campaign manager in 2016 are the same person.”

Interesting coincidence. Almost like.... a business plan lined up long ago by a smart man who HATES losing.

Well, he’s contacted me about 20 times.

Desperate.

I scraped together allI wanted to, and sent him $0.00.

Yes, he is born to an American mother, and thus is born into citizenship with no need for naturalization, and thus he is a natural born citizen. It’s quite simple, rwally.
