Turnout is the key in Iowa. What is the weather going to be? during the caucuses will have some impact on turnout.
He reminds me of a Potemkin village. Can you get elected with nothing but words to your credit? Of course, Obama did it.
I’m for the builder.
I am so enthused with seeing that post, the list of pastors and others........GO TED CRUZ.....
I heard it is going to be cold but no snow until Tuesday. I was worried about Cruz winning because of turnout, but tonight I found out that Santorum’s Iowa campaign manager from 2012 is Trump’s campaign manager and he knows Iowa like the back of his hand. He won it for Santorum and will win it for Trump.
Do not worry, Trump will win Iowa.
Well, I can see Ted’s on fire.
In that photo it looks like his pants.
Go Ted... go... seek water.
Wasting bandwidth with spam again ... great job ! It will be over soon ..
It looks like there’s a lot of effort involved in getting to be elected President of Iowa.
Cruz should win, Iowa at best. 2nd at worst. Nice place to be with 49 states to go.

Great. Take your builder; we’ll take the conservative.
Perhaps Clint Eastwood can give the intro to the Trumpless podium tomorrow night.
Yes, the empty chair/podium. How appropriate.
If you want to vote for Trump "the builder," I suggest you take a very serious look at the career of Donald Trump as described HERE before you commit the rest of us conservatives to a candidate whose career in building deserves more opprobrium than credit.
Initial forecast for Monday nite, Des Moines area: 50% chance of snow, low near 25.
Worse the further north & west, the better further south & east. And trending worse day-to-day.
I read that. I was in the construction business for many years and we thought about taking on NY but figured the mob would eat us alive and we weren’t up for it. I think anyone who is in that business in NY has to make peace with the mob. It’s just the way it is. As it was, we had to deal with the local unions and of course the mob was involved with them but not to the quite malicious degree.
You have to be VERY TOUGH to survive in NY in that business.
I could care less about the banruptcies - that’s what those laws are for and in fact I’m shocked that anyone thinks of this as a big negative especially considering Trump’s comeback from the brink.
But even as a builder, Trump's exposure to criticism is not limited to his attachment to the Mafia in New York City but extends to tawdry dealings with illegal immigrants, with subcontractors, and politicians. Beyond New York, he does not have the excuse of the Mafia or even unions but his behavior never changed. Wherever Donald Trump has left a footprint, the people hate him.
Well, I could say the same about Cruz...people who know him can’t stand him.
Something Trump said that I read in the last few months...
“I’m no angel but I’ll do right by the American people”.
For a variety of reasons, including why is he doing this - it obviously isn’t for money - I think he does want to save the country he is very proud of.
But Ted Cruz is not hated by ordinary citizens who claim they've been cheated, by business associates who claim they have been betrayed, by tenants who sued because they have been mistreated, by casino gambling commissions who claim they have been lied to, by students who claim they have been defrauded, by buyers of his properties who claim they are shoddy and misrepresented, by universities who have rescinded honorary degrees, or by countless women who have been humiliated. Again, this list is not meant to be exhaustive but only illustrative of the extent of Donald Trump's trespasses.
By their enemies you can know them and Donald Trump has all the wrong enemies and Ted Cruz has the right enemies.
I read your posts so maybe you can give me your opinion on this.
