Yeah, sort of like 1980 when GHWB beat Reagan in Iowa, then Reagan beat GHWB in New Hampshire.
Iowa picks corn. New Hampshire picks presidents.
Rand was my pro-life second choice. Cruz #1.
Um, wasn’t Trump way ahead in the polls in Iowa too?

The 300-odd young libertarians packed into Catholic University’s student center were the elect of the elect. They’d scored invites to the Young Americans for Liberty annual conference because — according to an email pitch to sponsors — they could be “the future congressmen, entrepreneurs, policy makers, and activists that will restore our republic.”
And they were not fans of Planned Parenthood. In a short evening of conversations, no young libertarian activist said he disagreed with Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) effort to bar any federal funds for the family planning group. At a bar near the conference, one table echoed with arguments about the ethics of abortion, and the politics of Paul’s move.
“Planned Parenthood should not be funded by taxpayer dollars,” said Hannah Malstrom, 26, a student at the University of Central Arkansas. “We were all once 20 weeks old. If I was ripped limb from limb, and my organs were sold on the black market, I would not be a happy camper.”
Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.[Posted on 11/19/2013 12:16:51 PM by Third Person]
Your voting record (when and where not what) is public
But you have no right to know your neighbor’s voting patterns...
If you feel that way then try to change the laws because that’s what P*U*B*L*I*C R*E*C*O*R*D means. In my opinion it is a public record for good reason: to prevent fraud.
