'Unless I win, I would consider this a big, fat, beautiful--and, by the way, a very expensive--waste of time'

Heading into the final days before Iowa's caucuses, Republican front-runner Donald Trump warned supporters that his months of headline-grabbing antics could be for naught if they do not show up Monday night.

"You have to get out there and caucus, or we've all wasted our time," Trump said on a tarmac, speaking to supporters who stood in a cold airplane hangar for hours to see the former Apprentice star. It was a rare suggestion from the billionaire that he might not be invincible and might well not become the GOP nominee....

Well if he is referring to the Cruz supporter he would be right. Especially after that threatening big brother email the cruz folks sent out. Disgraceful and stupid.

When I heard him say it my impression was he was referring to winning it all, not just Iowa.

I seem to remember the same speech and topic a month ago.

He s sure not campaigning like anybody who is expecting to lose.

And if he does lose I m sure the media, Fox news, Megyn Kelly, National Review and a host over people who s total sum contribution to the state of affairs in the United states is zip, nada, zilch compared to the uplifting of spirits and gift of hope Trump has done for Americans since July 2015.

you trump fanatics should stop worrying about Cruz (who is a good man) and worry about the fast one the establishment is trying to pull on you with rubio, assisted by fox last week.

there’s even trumpsters who want ted to come in third and rubio to come in second.

you know, BOTH trump AND cruz can be good men. i looked it up.

anyway, just a warning. dont fall into the oligarchy/fox trap.

i’d rather vote or a nationalist than a political whore, which rubio is.

As Trump pints out (as if we did not know), the press is full of nasty people who lie, all the time.

Then, FR is loaded with nasty people, who post those nasty lies and tell us how dumb we are when we catch them lying again.

Yep, Trump is definitely the underdog, if he can get within 10 points of Cruz it will be a huge victory.

Bad as it is, FR doesn't hold a candle to the press.

Sometimes threads end up in Breaking, when they’ve not been designated that way, by the OP. Not sure how it happens, but it does.

DES MOINES – “Today I was shown a piece of literature from the Cruz for President campaign that misrepresents the role of my office, and worse, misrepresents Iowa election law. Accusing citizens of Iowa of a “voting violation” based on Iowa Caucus participation, or lack thereof, is false representation of an official act. There is no such thing as an election violation related to frequency of voting. Any insinuation or statement to the contrary is wrong and I believe it is not in keeping in the spirit of the Iowa Caucuses”.

“Additionally, the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office never “grades” voters. Nor does the Secretary of State maintain records related to Iowa Caucus participation. Caucuses are organized and directed by the state political parties, not the Secretary of State, nor local elections officials. Also, the Iowa Secretary of State does not “distribute” voter records. They are available for purchase for political purposes only, under Iowa Code.”

– Paul D. Pate, Iowa Secretary of State (link)

Before thinking that Trump is going to lose this caucus I would have to wonder what the State of Iowa is going to do to Cruz for breaking the law in that State...as you plainly read: Misrepresented, and you have to purchase for POLITICAL purposes only...(for campaigns to use to see where voters are low at) not to send out letters to ‘shame’ them....

Egg meet Face....
