Many of us have always believed that Ted Cruz would take Iowa, notwithstanding the preposterous polls that placed him in single digits.

I also think Trump has punted on Iowa. He didn't show for Vander Plaat's forum, he attacked the beloved Carson on a personal level, and he rhetorically asked if "Iowans were stupid?'- a clip I'm sure Donald knew would appear again and again in Iowa in January.

Cruz on, Ted.

Carson was a Jeb Bush/RINO establishment creation.

Cruz/Trump or Trump/Cruz would be awesome, the heads of the treasonists would explode. The GOP-E must be going into fits to get rid of them

We all know these polls are RIGGED.

The real surge will come when he announces his VP choice. I’d Love to see Lt. Col. Allen West in the position of VP or Sec. of Defense. Our Military MUST be fixed and the strength be brought back up, some of the 30 yr ones are going to have to go, though, they are still fighting the last war, not the war on terrorism.

I’d take Mike Lee for VP.

Let’s not forget the ‘curse of Iowa’ on many past winners of those caucuses, the most notable being in 1980 when GHWB-Poppy Bush won those caucuses, but after a shake up by Reagan in which he fired his inept campaign manager John Sears and brought in Bill Casey, he kicked GHWB’s RINO ass all the way to the convention.

Likewise, it was Rick Santorum who won in Iowa 4 years ago, but we all know what happened to him as Mitt-Witt ended up with the nomination anyway.

But I STILL say ‘Go Cruz!’ and ‘Go Trump!’ :)

If Cruz finishes #2, or especially #1, in IA, he loses the “unelectable” stigma and the race dynamics change. He will lose in NH but will be well positioned for the southern states. This has been his strategy all along.

He’s not just a great debater.

Looks like Trumps attack on Carson worked though, as this poll shows him slipping to 3rd. Trump/Cruz.

There will be a lot more movement from Carson to Cruz. Voters are beginning to become more sober to the fact that Carson is not the person to keep us safe.

I like how the retards at Right Scoop have Cruz “surging,” but don’t mention that Trump, who was tied or losing Iowa last we heard, has 30 percent of the vote and is leading by 9 points.

Trump will win IA, NH, and SC. Bang bang bang. He’s got the nomination.

Cruz will win Iowa, then the rest of his strategy will fall into place...he’s put in the required work in all the states to organize a grassroots Reagan style win.

You mean Trump’s attack on that nice Dr. Carson wasn’t the end of him as many here and in the news media thought? Well, well, well, pointing out that Iowans are not stupid seems to have worked for Trump.

Sounds like something John Mccain came up with, but why would Right Scoop repeat it?

When people actually listen to Carson, they don’t like what they hear.

Many of us had him pegged months ago or even a year ago when he/his pac was running ads.

Cruz is force. He’s got the intellect, experience, political knowledge and communication ability. Slow and steady, he will roll over everything in his path.
