Even if Iowa’s first-in-the-nation Republican caucuses do not always pick the winner, they have been known to derail front-runners. Trump knows this. So does Cruz. So do the pundits. And so do Republicans across the country.

Trump could really use a win in Iowa. If he gets it, along with the wins he has a good shot at securing in the ensuing New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries, he could be well on his way to becoming the Republican nominee.

The majority religion in America isn't represented on the USSC.

Sure it is.

There are four liberals, if not five (depends on wind direction).

And yes, I'd bet there are more practicing liberals in America than churchgoing Protestants.

Santorum, Jindal and Jeb are Catholic. Not sure about Rubio or Kasich. I believed Trump was raised Presbyterian but isn’t a church goer. Huck is Baptist I think.

Ok, my mistake. Rafael was a Catholic but converted. Ted lists “Southern Baptist. Is that correct?

I read some days back that Cruz attends a Baptist church... But I have no clue what he really is. His priest dad leads some domination theology church.

So when I read Cruz is Catholic caught my attention... Thought you knew something I did not know.

There is some rumor of Dominionist ideology that I don’t quite understand but looks very unattractive from a personal and electoral perspective.

Palin fell off the wagon when she eroded her social conservative credentials in endorsing Trump.

She is a non-entity now and exposed as a fraud.

Too bad. I liked her.

No, I just assumed, and we know what happens when. . . .

Yes, his dad converted, and yes, Ted lists his religion as Southern Baptist .. . So I’m as in the dark as ever as to why Trump has higher evangelical support.

Cruz cannot win a general election.

I love Sarah Palin BUT I believe her 15 minutes of fame was up a while ago. Is her influence what it once was? We shall see.

I sense you are causing a disturbance in the force.

And now your neighbors all know!

attacking a messenger instead of substance is indeed the sign of a immature individual.

Have been here for quite a while longer friend in a different guise.

Maybe because Trump is not sending out shaming letters. Nothing screams I’m a committed evangelical Christian like a shaming letter. :-)

Bless your heart, newbie....but your post was indeed an anti-Palin screed indicating a typical leftist troll spreading Palin hate.

Comrade obamatollah, is that you?

Now go back to your Huff-N-Post rag...
