Donald Trump: 'I'm Going All the Way' [to the convention]
NBC News ^

Posted on 01/09/2016 5:32:28 PM PST by springwater13

Donald Trump is in the presidential race for the long haul. That's what he told Chuck Todd in an interview to air Sunday on "Meet the Press." When asked if he would drop out of the nomination fight if he were to lose in Iowa, Donald Trump responded, "I'm not leaving."

He admitted that he has waffled on this answer in the past, but now believes he is going to stick it out until the Republican Convention in July. "There's no maybes…I'm going all the way. If I don't win, I don't win," said the outspoken Republican candidate.

He may have to take second in Iowa but after that he will run the table.

Today on CSPAN every Democrat caller and some were Black said they are voting for Trump. Now on Drudge headline it says 20% of Dems are going with Trump. He will kill it in the general election.

Will Trump start using that 80s hit tune, “Let’s Go All The Way” by Sly Fox?

My husband just got home from a car show where he knows tons of people and said everyone was talking about Trump and planning to vote for him.

Some of them are democrat and/or union members.

I don’t know one person who is not voting for Trump. This thing is waaay bigger than anybody realizes. Wait til the voting starts. I’m not necessarily counting Trump out of Iowa either. He might still win it too.

I think Trump voters in Iowa were being discreet for these latest polls. I think Trump not only will win....but win big.

I'm not sure I buy the conventional wisdom that Trump will finish 2nd in Iowa. Cruz may have the much ballyhooed and overrated "evangelical vote" buttoned up but they were hardly able to deliver the victory to Santorum in 2012 despite a very low turnout in a race that had little enthusiasm. Eighty percent of Republicans stayed home on caucus night in 2012.

Still, Santorum only won by 38 votes. Yes, you read that right. Mitt Romney finished second in Iowa, only 38 votes behind Santorum. And both Santorum and Romney received less than 30,000 votes statewide.

Think about that number (30,000) and then think about the tens of thousands of people who have attended Trump rallies so far this year in Iowa. Today, Trump did two rallies in subzero weather and the house was packed each time. In 2012, the front runners were having rallies at coffee shops and hardware stores. There were more reporters following the candidates than citizens.

I think too many people are looking at what happened in Iowa in past elections, when turnout was low and the evangelicals pretty much decided the victor (Huckabee won in 2008).

If we see tens of thousands of new voters turn out this time around, the results will be very surprising.
