“Even though the primaries get a little rough, I think it is a good thing, because it weeds out the weak ones. The General will be 10 times worse.”

Watching this whole process, I’ve come to the exact same conclusion, including all of those debates. Increasing pressure on the weaker candidates exposes their weaknesses, particularly their management skills and their judgement, while leaving the stronger candidates standing. And all of that’s a good thing, assuming we want tough and capable leaders, and not just ideologues like Obama.

A lot of people have supported that SuperPAC heavily and are now going to the other Cruz-aligned SuperPACs.

I’m a bonr and raised New Yorker, and I had no problem with “New York valuse>” I knew exactly what Ted meant.

And Trump’s use of 9/11 in such a baldly political way was offensive as can be.

I am glad that Trump has the winner of Iowa in 2012 and 2008 Huckabee and Santorum. That has to help some.

Cruz waited too long to attack

I sent $20 to Cruz when he ran for the Senate. Now I’m also cursed with Heidi’s Beg-o-grams. Sorry I ever gave a penny to Cruz.

Agree with you on IA. Otoh, Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, is a bit of a cipher. He’s only 40, and as far as I can tell has never managed a winning campaign. He seems to be doing very well, though. Amazing that Trump saw something there above and beyond Lewandowski’s on-paper track record of wins and losses.

My wife was a 2 time Cruz donor, and she got pissed at the New York Values attack

Does your wife know that it was Donald Trump who defined New York values that Cruz referenced?

IIRC, Cruz was at or below 10% (Real Clear Politics average) until mid-November. I think only when Carson stumbled did Cruz gain.

Where is the evidence that any candidate spent $100Mil in Iowa?

I haven’t had one for a couple days since I unsubscribed from anything @tedcruz. I’m sure the PAC is down at least a million just from my donations alone..

The email spam is getting ridiculous. It's just down right annoying to the point I had to blacklist. Apparently it's not effective either.

Sorry I can't give to you, perhaps you can use some of that $700k salary from GS?
