Hmm so Cruz, despite wining Iowa is in the margin of error, while Rubio is the biggest gainer.
Wonder if TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) will continue to crow about this?
3 man race
This is the poll you were looking for, Obie
The circular firing squad takes itself out and the Dems coast to victory.
The “Trump is a selfish crybaby” effect has yet to fully take hold. As more people notice, more will be turned off. Yet the biggie is that with all his accusations and hyperbole, there has been very little offered in the way of substantive policy discussion. Trump’s candidacy is all about personality. People will notice that too, eventually, for the smoke screen that it is. Hopefully it won’t be too late.
Shock? Not really. The winner of Iowa always gets a bump, but Cruz is heading into one of his weakest states. His trouncing there will bring him back down to earth. In fact, he may come out of NH in 5th or 6th place nationally.
The movers and shakers in D.C. don’t get it. Even if they pump up Cruz and Rubio it will be temporary because there are enough of us to see where that path leads.
Neither of these junior senators are free from influence from special interests so it’s down the same road again. They’d by complaining that Congress has sold out and they just can’t help the American people, just one guy after all.
That’s what we don’t want.
Pretty soon Rooters will be along to put its crony capitalist, Big Media, push polling heal on the conservative neck of Ted Cruz. Rooters will keep Cruz around 11%.
Trump and Cruz need to stop the bickering and name calling. All they're accomplishing is creating a path for a Rubio victory.
The true measure of a person is how they respond to adversity. The Donald seems to respond by whining and blaming others. Not presidential material.
Wonder if Teddy the less than Magnificent will get overtaken by a Cuban Lawn Jockey.
Has the GOP contracted the Clintons’ Dirty Tricks Team to give Rubio a helping hand?
But Trump hurts himself when he attacks those that dont deserve our contempt and/or hate.
Trump could be a great president, BUT he needs to realize he is not an expert at everything, and needs to start listening to people who are trying to give him good advice like... building a national ground game second to none.
You can't win the presidency on the cheap.
If he keeps whining about everything, attacking fellow conservatives, and keeps trying to spend the least amount possible he is going to allow Rubio to sweep in and take the whole thing.
If Trump allows Rubio to surge and Rubio wins Florida... it's all over, but the counting and Rubio will be the nominee.
Isn’t that the same margin Trump had in Iowa? oops.
While the MSM talks about lack of diversity, consider the Iowa results:
R - Canadian/Cuban, Cuban, and black guy 3 of top 4 finishers.
D - two old white people
It’s a national poll, not a NH state poll.
Trump will sue the poll respondents.
“The winner of Iowa always gets a bump”
Read the article. Cruz did not get a bump. Rubio, the 3rd place winner, got the bump. Trump just lost a huge lead and now it is a statistical tie.
“His trouncing there will bring him back down to earth”
Don’t hold your breathe for that. Nobody expects Cruz to win in liberal NH. NH doesn’t matter with only 23 delegates. Only a liberal like Trump has a chance there. The pressure is not on Cruz; it is on Trump. Even if Trump wins, but Trump doesn’t win by the 20-26% that he is polling then Trump will be toast because it will be more proof that Trump’s support is weak in liberal States and even weaker in conservative States.
