I can’t say about that. My thoughts go to Beck and I can’t recall. Iowa must be a seminary type state with all the pandering that has been delivered to the Evangelicals.

“If anyone other than Trump gets the nomination, all hope for America to be restored is gone. I personally won’t bother to vote for President because it would simply no longer matter.”

What you said x2. All the others are no better than Hillary. If not Trump, no hope for America. DH and I are in a good position in that we have no children. If kids or grandkids were a factor, I’d have major angst about their future.

I have no idea how one can win the popular vote but be down one in delegates. I am guessing that it is similar to the Electoral College?

(And thank God for the EC- or it would still be “President” Gore out there on the speaking circuits!)

I'm just trying to find a Cruz supporter who can describe exactly what Cruz did during the Gang-of-Eight debate that amounted to a poison pill. Can you tell me what Cruz amendment(s) amounted to a poison pill for the Gang-of-Eight amnesty bill?

I would normally be delighted to explain, but I have an early day tomorrow.

Why don't you start a vanity thread posing that question? It would be of help to others as well.

Looking at the map on CNN, no, it really doesn't make sense.

One thing is for sure; Open primaries, which is similar to what Iowa has with their caucus, leaves lots of room for some clever games.

If I was Trump I would be pretty happy.

He did do well for someone with so little organization. There are a lot of fed up Trumpsters in America that want to tear the establishment down.

I'm with them but I want a man (Cruz) that believes that he will be excruciatingly accountable to Almighty God if he fails.

They both have equal delegates so why does he have a greater %age?

Weird.

But Cruz had visited all 99 counties and had a tremendous ground game.

He certainly did, and he and his supporters (at least, outside of the trolls currently infesting freerepublic) deserve credit.

You sound just like the GOPe. A conservative can’t win so we need a New York liberal. Well I say to hell with that. For just one more time before I move on I would like cast an affirmative vote for conservatism in the Presidential poll booth. And that guy is Cruz.

CRUZ got the most votes ever in any Iowa caucus.

Worth repeating:

CRUZ got the most votes ever in any Iowa caucus.

if you believe that, get behind a proven conservative and beat the establishment.

Or,

Continue to bash Cruz supporters and help the GOPe.

We need a new Romney like we need a hole in our head!

At least Romney is to the right of Donald Trump.

It is hard to tell if Cruz means “morning” or “mourning” in his speech..
