So, what happens in the Campaign, and around here, if Rubio wins, or finishes a strong 2nd, in Iowa Monday?

Then we remove Iowa from America and make a lake there.

Small engines everywhere will rejoice!

Rubio would be a wonderful nominee as well, if different from Cruz. Either way conservatism is ahead, with strong young leaders at the top who fly in the face of the Manhattan oligarchy and their attempt to captivate the weak-minded on the left and the right.

Establishment has their nose under the tent just as JIM has been warning us: Stop the bickering between Cruz and Trump and target the establishment.

What happens if Gilmore wins Iowa? About as likely.

What would happen?

FR would be united for a few days while we all attacked Rubio.

I think Trump Rubio is a winning ticket
Trump gets to school the lazy inexperienced Senator to be an effective team leader and achiever ( like his kids)
The establishment gets a guy who knows his way to the Senate Chamber
The media gets a pretty Latino face
Rubio gets to be president in 4-8 years when he rides trumps coat tails into salvaging this economy and our national pride and reputation

He could finish second, but I don’t think so. For all the hype about Cruz’s “ground game,” there has been nothing about Rubio’s.

If that happens I will be very sad. Ultimately, if Cruz is failing then I probably would support Rubio to stop Trump who I do not like or trust even a tiny little bit.

Nothing. The liberal wing of FR will support the New York liberal and the conservative wing will support the Texas conservative. Any Rubio supporters will remain silent or elsewhere because honestly who needs the shit that will be flung their way?

I don't think Rubio will take 1st in Iowa and although, Cruz is heading south, I don't think Rubio will end in a strong 2nd place. Just barley 2nd place is possible.

If Cruz and Rubio are running close after Iowa, Trump needs to stand back (doubtful) and let the two of them duke it out. If Rubio looks like he is surging with any kind of strength, Trump has to go after him.....and so do we. Mr. Gang of 8 cannot become a problem. IMO, Cruz is done.

I don't think it really matters who wins Iowa, since they haven't picked a winner since 1999, George W. Bush.

In 2007, it was Mike Huckabee (wrong), and in 2011 it was Rick Santorum (wrong). In 1995, it was Bob Dole (correct), in 1987 it was Bob Dole (wrong), in 1979 it was George H. W. Bush (wrong).

So since 1979 they have correctly picked the eventually nominee twice, 1995 and the nominee Dole lost to Clinton, and 1999, Bush who won the nomination and the election.

I can’t imagine any scenario where Rubio becomes president, so if he wins Iowa my prediction is that no matter what, if he gets to the nomination, he will lose.

Well...it’s true. Santorum won it in the last week. You are quite correct. Surprises can happen.

What happens if Rubio wins Iowa?”

The same thing that happened last time when the frontrunners did not win Iowa I guess. Nothing. Iowa is not as important as it is made out to be.

Looks like Cruz peaked too early in Iowa. Lots of apoplexy coming to the Cruz Camp Monday night.
