“Cruz is a career politician and Trump is a newcomer to the political game. “

And trump was going to go toe-to-toe against Putins and the Ayatollahs?

HA HA HA

Aaaaw, poor guy then needs to go back and learn before he tries against the big boys.

“Was it turn out or vote switching?”

That’s what I was wondering.

In order to keep peace of mind, I’ve only skimmed Iowa articles the last few weeks. Was it possible for Dem voters to vote for Rubio tonight? Pardon my ignorance, everyone, guess I could google it.

Everything you said plus, Cruz got 6 delegates, Trump got 5. Other than the false sense of importance the media assigns to this race, it's not going to drive the other states. That was Cruz's strategy that Iowa would propel him into the stratosphere but that's not going to happen. Especially now that the entire establishment and their media is for Rubio.

It doesn't break my heart that Trump didn't win here, never was really expected to, but it kills me that the establishment got one of their filthy, decaying feet in the door.

My wife says Palin endorsement hurt Trump ...

Trump hurt Trump with not going to the debates and his birther and other attacks on Cruz. He also did great damage to Cruz and gave the establishment everything they wanted a strong jumping point for their rino. Money will flow tomorrow....to Rubio.

Cruz with an understandably great speech.

I am surprised at Rubio’s showing.

Yeah, that really doesn’t make sense 1250 votes on Dim side. I would figure that many bums would walk in to vote just for the heater being turned on.

The other thing Cruz supporters should be saying right now:

BEN CARSON. There’s 9% of the vote that likely would have gone to Cruz as they appeal to overlapping demographics (evangelical, cultural conservatives).

And you can add Huckabee as well.

The large number of candidates are clouding the field.

>> I voted for him 3 times to CRUSH Dewhurst

Not in the same election, though. :-)

(I feel obliged to point that out to our fellow FReepers.)

It was a concession speech not an inaugural address.

That Newsmax article only repeats what Cruz claimed during the debate. My question: what amendments were introduced by Cruz, and were passed, that amounted to a poison pill to the Gang-of-Eight bill?

Or is the claim that amendments were introduced and defeated, and they amounted to a poison pill?

Odd, no one can explain what Cruz did that amounted to a poison pill, and that article doesn't explain it.

I have nothing but congrats for Cruz but this is only one state and Cruz is acting like he won the Presidency. I think he is focusing too much of victory. There is much battle ahead.

Trump was screwed either way with that debate. You know Megyn had tapes to attack him with and three ‘guests’ a Muslim, illegal, and Bernie supporter. Not to mention Fox tried to embarrass him with their press release.

He had zero choice.
