'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....

Out of context but hey that’s the normal now.
Very much so.
We’re in it to win it...Ted Cruz 2016!
Including threatening and shaming..time for Iowans to go out and get some pepper spray.
He may “consider” it, but it’s unlikely with Cruz’s ground game.
Time Magazine can be counted upon to push whatever the latest “Extablishment” progressive propaganda is-—I NEVER read this “pamphlet” anymore.
Marco Rubio will finish strong but Trump or Cruz will win Iowa.
You know, I am getting a similar feeling. But what I see is the top three getting the same number of delegates. I don’t trust Trump as far as I can throw him but I am a realist. If he dominates Iowa he will be impossible to stop.
And then he will start pandering to the unions. Guaranteed.
Wishful thinking at Time Magazine.
Even the loser Nate Silver now has Trump winning Iowa big time
This is when Nate had Trump losing Iowa up until a week ago.
Trump will win Iowa.
He’s been using that “if we lose line” for months.
They are stupid. And lazy. Addicted to massive corn and soybean subsidies and illegal alien labor. I worked 2 campaigns in Iowa and always called for the stupid caucus to be eliminated. Maybe then we can finally bring the free market back to that pathetic corporate welfare state.
He did not call them stupid.
He said, “How stupid are they to believe XYZ...”
If they did NOT believe XYZ, then they weren’t among the stupid.
Encouraging his people to keep working hard during the final two days before the caucus isn’t what I would call “considering losing”.
Haha, no. I wasn’t saying that. I was just making a statement. I certainly don’t want him to win.
..Iowa is its own animal. That is why it is so hard to poll...
The writer is an idiot or liar.
This is typical ‘fire up the vote’ stuff.
And Trump, like Cruz, factored in the loss of Iowa at the beginning.
It’s not a big problem.
I don’t think any sane person expecs otherwise.
Cruz pulled his Trump ads and is now trying to protected himself from being bumped to 3rd. That tells you allvyou need to know.
Trump has said all along if he doesn’t win it’s a waste of time.
Yes because nothing brings out the vote like a shaming letter. :-)
