Ted....you’ve got nothing and neither does Trump or Rubio.
The Iowa Caucuses are a freak show.
Just ask President Santorum and President Huckabee who also won in Iowa.
Iowa is a nice distraction but it’s not a reality based Australian ballot system.
After next week in New Hampshire, if you win there...then you’ve got something to crow about. Same for Trump and Rubio.
Absolutely.
The candidate with the most fanatic base of loons generally gets the win. That is, unless some establishment Machiavelli can steal it back.

I agreed with all that you stated but what is an Australian ballot system? I never heard that term before.
NH is out of step with most of the states Republicans need to win in the general. They’re too liberal and non-religious.
Just ask McCain and Romney. They won NH and lost the general. The primary voters should’ve stuck with the Iowa winners and we would’ve beaten Obama.
NH has 43% the population of IA. It once was solidly conservative, but now is dominated by Boston exburbs on one side and Bernie’s commune on the other. How is it representative of a winning GOP election coalition? Iowa is more representative of the base.
Agreed. Iowa is certainly as you described.
Go into rooms, listen to a campaign ffer offering promise and then write your guy on a piece of paper and leave it in a bin.
If it is close the Dems did a coin toss of all things, what a joke.
Then was there not something lke 30% of voters not knowing who to vote for until the night of the election.
Come on what kind of idiot would not know who to vote for before the election with all these ASD’s , campaigns around the state for well over a month>?
I don’t know what the people of Iowa are drinking, but the way they do their caucus is a joke. It’s like it’s 1816 not 2016 there.
Who cares about NH?? NH only has 23 delegates that are proportionally awarded so even if Trump wins in a landslide, he will only leave with a few delegates (probably less than in Iowa) due to the crowded GOP candidate field.
