You are correct.

Unfortunately, it is winner takes all. We watched this one year when our precinct caucus was over-run by Paul-bots. (Even more sickening was that you could tell that all of these people were straight out libs.)

It’s all about turnout. Just 5 - 10 people can make a big difference.

I think Fox has an Iowa poll where Trump’s lead is around +10 or 11

Where are all of the Cruzers who were quipping "When's the NATIONAL primary"???

What’s their comeback now??

Just pinged their spokesman, let's see what he has to say.

BECK



ANSWER = NEVER

Winner-take-all begins after March 15.

Jeb is looking good. Sandwiched in between Christie and iCarly.

Right where he should be, LOL.

[moehoward]

Yeah. Interesting that as the MOE goes down in the polls as Trumps lead increases.

Cruz letting Beck up on a stage with him was dumb enough but not setting the agenda ahead of time was just insane. I have no doubt Beck pulled out the swearing in thing and Cruz was like a deer in headlights. He just went through with it not to make a fuss. Suicidal mistake.

It’s SO EARLY now. Let’s wait until the people start focusing in the election, then we’ll see Trump start to drop as people find you that he’s not a Reagan conservative. Just wait... (LOL)

I see what you did there. Trump and Cruz are now so strong, I'd dare to say that, as a ticket, they could lead us to 16 years of recovery. Thoughts?

Donald Trump is on the verge of being the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party. It’s time to be BIG.

After Iowa votes, if Trump beats Cruz and is headed toward clear wins in NH and SC, the race is over. At this point, Trump should be focused on going after Cruz like Mike Tyson and score a knock out in round 1. Pettiness has to be over.

[moehoward]

“Switch away from Cruz.”

You mean they’ll switch from the only guy wanting to kill they’re ethanol golden goose??? I’m shocked! Shocked I say!!

[StAntKnee]

Pettiness has to be over.

That one part of your post is so spot-on. The leader in this race, especially, should rise above the nitpicks and go BIG!!! I'm really not liking the "Sweathog" form of insults.

Except it jibes right in line with most recent national polls and with 11 out of 14 recent IA polls. So I don't care what the MOE is, it seems to be perfectly in line with all other polling.

WooHOO! Thanks for the ping. GO TRUMP GO!!

[djstex]

Thanks for the post. GO TRUMP!

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Thanks!!!

Why are most of those folks still in the race? Apparently they have no idea how bad this looks.

[mtrott]

MOE 7.2% — so a statistical tie at the top! Cruz to victory, Ted!

[Jane Long]

Both will be looking for jobs in a Trump admin.

Agree about Carson and Rubio.

[dragnet2]

Beck is now out saying he would vote for Bernie over Trump.

Comedy gold.
