Republican race promises to shift rapidly in final 2 months before Iowa caucuses
Washington Times ^ | 11/29/15 | Seth McLaughlin

Donald Trump still holds a lead in the Republican presidential polls in Iowa, but Ben Carson is fading and Sen. Ted Cruz is catching up fast as the first-in-the-nation caucuses prepare for another wild finish.

Four years ago at Thanksgiving, it was former House Speaker Newt Gingrich who had climbed to the top of the polls, unseating pizza baron Herman Cain who dropped out of the race altogether. Former Sen. Rick Santorum, the eventual Iowa winner, was languishing in the low single digits.

It is a reminder of how fast things can change as the candidates jockey for position heading into the Feb. 1 caucuses.

Trump could sweep since he is actually the guy to beat in all 50 states. He’s that far ahead of the crowd. ;-)

The big difference is that Trump is self financing.

Trump has defined the media that they cannot easily throw off their disparaging reputation of ill repute, which was made easier to do over decades of Americans watching them ply their dishonest propaganda. Trump has focused that energy. The Teflon Don. :-)

Did you see Trump put F. Toad in his place today? It was GOOOD!!!

Trump has the ability to run the interviews HIS way and not their way, and they get mad; flustered and fall over their tongues...I love it!!!

The mainstream media would rather have Cruz in there instead of Trump.
Because they know Cruz doesn't stand a chance against Hillary

That was then. This is now.

I doubt things will change much in the next two months unless Trump is assassinated ( God forbid )

And should Trump put out the call to his base for donations, they will respond with mucho dinero to the shock of the GOPe.

“This bullshit is going to abruptly end someday.”...........

A BIG AMEN to that. As soon as this pending election is over, it will start all over again for the next time.

Enough is enough, give each candidate two months to tell their lies then vote.

No one is talking Cruz anywhere I go. It’s all TRUMP.

Even talking to friends and family out of state, it’s Trump. No one even mentions Cruz.
