Rubio and Jeb are in until the Florida winner take all on March 15th. One will be left standing. Not worried what GOPe will do ie Cruz.

Well, then you and I would have very different strategies if we were running campaigns. Cuz if I’m Rubio’s manager, I’m doing everything I can to knock Trump out now, regardless of who has to be that vehicle. Jeb can be beaten, later. I’m sure Rubio’s guy thinks Cruz is easy-peasy later. But Trump ia a major threat, now.

Most of those “thousands” got there riding labor Union chartered buses, or had that point slipped by?

Yeah, I most definitely did mean it. He’s the man to dismantle the Federal Civil Service, from Department Heads to Floor Sweepers. That can be his job.

Chuckle!
For months you insisted that Ted Cruz was “stuck at 5%” and wasn’t going anywhere. I had reason to challenge you on plenty of Cruz threads about that. And now that the Cruz surge that we kept telling you about is here, you pretend it’s business as usual? You are just too funny.
We kept telling you that this race is a marathon not a sprint. It’s all about peaking at the right time. Cruz is up from the already high previous Monmouth University poll, so he is still rising. Plus it’s now reflected in other polls too, including the CNN poll today. I would probably have preferred Cruz to peak in January, but December would do. Cruz is going to win Iowa.

Chuckle chuckle. He’s down 13 after his “surge” and his comments tonight made him look, well, less than leader like. Cruz won’t win IA, now more than ever.

Ted Cruz is 5 points ahead of Trump in this Monmouth University poll, which actually polled mostly past caucus voters as against the CNN poll you quote, which took their sample largely from people who did not vote in past caucuses. I’ll take the Monmouth university poll thank you.
Be thant as it may, the point being, you kept insisting for months that Ted Cruz was going to be stuck at 5%. Your prediction has been woefully off target. Even your CNN poll you quoted has Ted Cruz at 20%. That is a wee bit higher than 5%, no?

If popularity were my only guide, I might have supported Bill Clinton, Obama and Hilary. It isn’t.

I would challenge you to look at Trump's record (not his promises) and tell me what you see that makes Trump substantially different from the Clintons' and Obama's position (and Romney's).

I like Trump. I like Cruz. I THINK Trump has a better chance to win. Purely a hunch based on what I’ve seen so far.

I think not.And even if true, you would be voting largely for the status quo (if his record stands as evidence).

Both could be excellent presidents. In different ways.

Sorry, but I really don't see that in Trump. I think him to be wholly unqualified. He likes the 'big show' alright, but lacks substantially in ability and knowledge.
