We’ve had ‘government healthcare’ since 1965.

Right now, the majority of those taking advantage of govt healthcare (Medicaid) are illegals.

Once illegals deport, our Medicaid rolls will greatly decrease. Our true indigent, American citizens (elderly, homeless, etc) will be the remaining Medicaid recipients.

Everyone else will have the freedom to buy which ever health insurance best suits them...even the ability to shop across state lines.

It’s how politics is played. It’s a game, rough and tumble. Some days you’re the windshield and some days you’re the bug. trump was a bug. In NH, perhaps Cruz will be the bug.

Say what you will about Trump he is NOT a slimy cheater!!!!!

Chump's eminent domain attempts to build a parking lot over someone's house says otherwise.

Also this "4 votes per precinct" spin from Rove is actually 9000 votes - more than what all except the top 4 vote getters actually got statewide

But 4 votes sure SOUNDS like a small number!

All in all I don’t think it changes anything long game. If Trump flounders in NH or SC the optics change but I fully expected a Trump loss in IA because of the nature of the caucus format and IA caucus history.

I further expect Trump will run the table the rest of the way.

Another thing important. Mrs. Carson was at one of the precincts and spoke up telling the people that the rumor circulatingit was not true. CARSON WON that precinct.

Karl [paraphrased]: IF just 4 Carson voters out of every precinct in Iowa switched their vote to Cruz, Cruz wins.

You mean 9000 votes switched - more votes than all except four candidates? That would chance a lot of races over the years.

Rove's spiel is from the lies, damn lies, and statistics category.

“Cheating???? Good Grief... it’s a caucus.... you’re suppose to go in there and convince the other guys voters to switch. That’s the goal. Yeah... you tell them Carson isn’t going to New Hampshire or South Carolina. He may be dropping out... you better not waste your vote... you better vote Cruz.

That’s not cheating...”

Ok folks, you read it here. No tears, jam when at a future caucus, some Carson supporters mess with cruzers heads. The can of worms has been opened. I don’t condone it, but your guys seem to. I’ll buy popcorn.

Cruz and Rubio are starting to look the same now.

checked in on Levin for a few minutes to see if he is still crazed. He is, but I listened long enough to hear him say that those emails sent out by Cruz were harmless, and blamed it all on CNN, Carson, and ...

How do you stand his voice ? It grates on me and I turn him off; negative whining and the dogs seem to be treated more importantly than people. While I generally agree with Levin's politics I find Sanders easier to listen to.

only 4 votes per 1500 team members changed , then 6000 more vote for Carson , 6000 less vote for Cruz and Trump is #1; but why stop there? What if 8 per precinct changed their vote , then 12,000 more for Carson and he beats Trump. What if 20 more per precinct vote for Carson and not for Cruz, then Cruz gets 0 votes. Pick a number, any number.

Yup. Rove's argument is full of cr*p. To paraphrase Megyn Kelly (of all people), it's just math you do as a Trump supporter to make yourself feel better.

I live in Iowa, and I did not hear anything about this before or during the caucus. In fact, it wasn’t until late that night that I first heard anything about this. I suspect that this brought up in very few precincts, simply because the text was sent out just a few minutes prior to the start of the caucus.

As I said, nobody got up and said anything about this, at all. So, what happened? Cruz won the precinct with 28.7% of the vote. Carson tied for 5th place with a whopping 4.7% of the vote.

Instead of Carson getting upset with the Cruz camp for sharing the CNN news story, maybe he should be upset with himself and his people for whoever sent out the poorly worded, vague announcement that CNN reported on.

And then, to come back with the most LAME excuse ever, that he was just going back to Florida to get a change of clothes?!?! Really??? That’s what you’re going with, Ben? What serious candidate makes that argument? It’s simply laughable.

Rove is against anyone that is not towing the GOPee banner!

That of course includes Trump as well as Cruz.

Rove just wants the candidates who have a sane position on immigration to be destroyed.

We should be smart enough to avoid a war between Cruz and Trump... It appears we are not smart enough and that’s SAD!

Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump would be unbeatable IMO.

Rove is a consummate ass!

"Does a Carter and a Rove trump (no pun intended, well okay, intended) a Beck?"

Does a recovering alcoholic who himself, frequently admits to being crazy-but, who never the less, warned the world of the Islamic Caliphate- long before it happened,

-who has tried to start an alternative network- dedicated to truth- to biased FOX news, (featuring great people such as Dana Loesch), -

-who has tried to bring our unique history to people in a way that will help them appreciate our Constitution and defend its principles, and who otherwise is trying to do some good in the world

- Does he (Beck)-trump a known Marxist and GOPe operative who both work to "manage the decline" of the U.S.A.?

You tell me.
