".........Trump Nation is tired of failed transactions leaving only humiliation, disrespect, hardship, and despair. Trump Nation wants a transaction president.
Donald Trump knows transactions. Donald Trump advertises that he's not only a high stakes negotiator. Trump will save the nation in the grandest transaction yet.
It is that simple.
Just like Trump Airlines.
Recall Trump's promises in 1988 -- a lot more than a simple transaction in keeping the aging Eastern Airlines shuttle fleet flying. Trump promised luxury, convenience, style, personal touches, affinity to grandeur, and profitability.
Except for convenience, Trump delivered nothing else for which customers were willing to pay. The Trump Shuttle was a flaming financial wreck. Customers had already defected to upstart Pan Am. In desperation Trump trashed his rival, claiming Pam Am execs were losers, and Pan Am was unsafe. (Sound familiar?)
Soon enough, Donald Trump's transaction to transform the airline business was a bust. His most important transaction was confounding third party creditors in bailing out his personal guarantees.
Donald Trump's prefabricated brand is of the quintessential transactional leader. He's a master, even negotiating brilliant escape hatches when he fails.
Trump Airlines, perhaps Trump's boldest venture far removed from his core expertise, still displayed Trump's leitmotif -- engineering a brash makeover for an overvalued transaction to get into the airline game, unable to command the nuts-and-bolts knowhow needed to gain market share and stop bleeding margins, thus in desperation finally piloting a perilous landing, coaxed to the ground by Citibank controllers leaving the third party creditors, and employees, to find the exit row chutes, fending for themselves.".......

True story.
Yes, and then NH, then SC, then Florida, then "run the table" - it's what hundreds around here guaranteed - it's what the pollsters predicted this week too.
Oh BS. A month ago, Trump was down 8-10 against Cruz in Iowa. He closed alot in the final weeks. Trump is WAY up in NH and SC currently. He will most likely win those going away.

Hillary and Ted... two slippery lawyers who resorted to dirty tricks in Iowa.
You’ve nicely twisted it.
Here is the link and the text.
Read for content and be sure to read the info I posted above.
President Obama is pushing a path to citizenship as a “poison pill” to prevent meaningful immigration reform, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) charged Monday.
“The part that I’ve got deep concerns about is any path to citizenship for those who are here illegally,” Cruz said during an interview with Sean Hannity. “I think that is profoundly unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who have followed the rules, who have waited in line.
“I think the reason that President Obama is insisting on a path to citizenship is that it is designed to be a poison pill to scuttle the whole bill, so he can have a political issue in 2014 and 2016. I think that’s really unfortunate,” continued Cruz.
The Tea Party favorite said Congress could easily pass a comprehensive immigration reform deal if Democrats, and particularly Obama, stopped demanding the inclusion of a pathway to citizenship for immigrants living in the country illegally.
Cruz’s comments came as a bipartisan group of senators indicate that it’s nearly done crafting a broad immigration bill. The so-called “Gang of Eight” hopes to unveil the legislation in April, with Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday suggesting that the group could unveil legislation as early as next week....”
Uh, I don’t think so. I think the pollsters had Trump up by a couple of points, but Cruz has been in Iowa for a year, right?
“Lot of room for dirty tricks and Hillary learned them all from Obama.”........
Hitlary WROTE the book on dirty tricks, she was pulling them long before odumbo ever came on the scene. I expect that truth be known, there were a lot of them put into play in Iowa.
Au contraire, she’s just been more dedicated than anyone else at throwing cold water on Mr. Trump’s pretentions. His record as a businessman is not a flawless stream of success (no one’s ever is or could be) and his political loyalties and intentions are open to legitimate question. This is a vetting process and compared with what the Democrat-Media cartel have in store for Trump anything Cincinnatus Wife can throw at him should be a petty annoyance. If it isn’t then it’s better to find out now than later.
you people have no concept of timing. Months ago Cruz was in single digits. Doesn’t matter. Weeks ago Cruz was up 5-10 points - doesn’t matter....because DAYS and HOURS ago Trump had surged past Cruz.....Cruz would be lucky to beat Rubio for second.....Trump was almost a two to one favorite on Nate Silver’s statistical analysis....Trump was odds on favorite not only in Iowa but to wrap up the nomination by March....all of this was reported over and over and over right here on FR and everywhere else.
You have declared victory premature....premature immaculation on your part.....and now, you’re going back weeks and months to determine who was supposedly the favorite? Your brains are....just - hell, I don’t know. A logic synapse is not firing

“I see the most stupid and silliest pictures of Cruz on Trump threads. “
You’ve seen Theo’s posts. You’ve commented on them. You know what Theo does with Trump pictures. How can you make that statement?
Which tends to support what I've been saying: Cruz has supporters, Trump has fans.
a freeper wrote weeks ago...... he who says Jesus most wins
he was right
No, my point was that it was originally Cruz accusing Obama of using the poison pill to scuttle the bill, and then turned it around to get himself out of hot water for subsequent remarks.
“The Tea Party favorite said Congress could easily pass a comprehensive immigration reform deal if Democrats, and particularly Obama, stopped demanding the inclusion of a pathway to citizenship for immigrants living in the country illegally.”
Comprehensive immigration reform has ALWAYS involved some form of amnesty. It starts out with “getting illegals out of the shadows” a concept Cruz has used. Why would Cruz use “comprehensive immigration reform” the way Schumer or Rubio does? Even Rubio comes right out and defines it correctly.
Google “comprehensive immigration reform”. It will invariably entail easing immigration restrictions, legalizing illegals, etc. All these descriptions use the default position that the United States has a moral obligation to commit suicide as a nation by taking in everyone who wants to enter.
A few weeks ago, Cruz told a person, an illegal, I believe, on the campaign trail that our immigration “was broken”. Again, code for amnesty. Our immigration system is not broken, it is not enforced. Why did he not say THAT? If the woman had not violated our laws, she would not even be here. She is here illegally, so the nation all of a sudden owes her everything she thinks, and also Cruz does to, evidently.
Jeb spent over 14 million in Iowa. 2 percent! Trump split the anyone but Cruz vote with Rubio.
I suggest that NO ONE use your prose as a substitute for the facts, which I have posted to this thread (this information can be found online with a minimum of research and an unbiased mind).

but no, because that would have been Santorum and huckabee......even this year.
Keep me on your ping list! I agree with...
“Trump supporters ignored almost all of the nasty posts to and about them for many months on end.”
Trump is still my candidate! On to NH!!
So a loss in Iowa shouldn’t really be worthy of such bitterness on the part of Trump supporters, should it?
