Trump will win.
The battle is on for second place.
The rube is moving up and he can end the Cruz campaign on Monday.
Has there been a poll since the debate?
“Trump benefits from having the most firmly committed support though- 80% of his voters say they’re firmly committed to him”
The last, best poll will the Des Moines Register poll to be released early Sunday morning.
But, in Iowa all you can do is measure trends, not potential outcomes.
“only 32% of Republican voters thought someone born in another country should be allowed to serve as President”
I think Cruz will win and I hope trump loses badly. He attacks conservatives but speaks fondly of rinos and democrats.
I don't know if Trump is formulating these ideas, or if they're the work of whom he has surrounding him, but there is no doubt at all ... Trump is kicking political ASS
By staying out of the debate, the numbers of his opponents ... that have NEVER really challenged Trumps numbers ... become a more reasonable contest in the eyes of the anti Trumps
So when Trump wins, he can legitimately state .. "I did everything I could to make it a fair race"
Luciferian evil (book of JOB) or absolutely brilliant ...
Depends on turnout. How many will stand in line to caucus.
Cruz leads 38/24 among 'very conservative' voters, but Trump makes up for that with a 34/17 advantage among 'somewhat conservative' voters and a 32/6 one with moderates.
You are about to witness one f the greatest political slaughters in the history of this great country. GO TRUMP!!
Ted Cruz’ history reminds me of his fellow Canadian Keanu Reeves who self-identifies as a Canadian and is eligible for a British passport, was born in Lebanon of an English showgirl mother and a Chinese-Hawaiian father who deserted the family when Keanu was a young child, the result being the kid feels like a world citizen, lives in different countries, has destabilization in his early family life. If Cruz did not feel some affinity with Canada, he would’ve given up his Canadian citizenship long ago.

I am for Trump, but the real poll to watch for is Saturday. I like to deal in reality, this poll was pre-debate. But still looks great for Trump. But I am waiting for the Saturday poll releases, then I will make a “prediction”. But only after the Saturday poll results.
Honestly, I do not believe the “undecided” are the card here, anyone still undecided is either thinking Rubio or Carson, there will be some for Huck or Santorum and you will be surprised, but honestly this isn’t about the undecided going for Trump or Cruz, it is undecided spread out between the others. And my gut is, if an undecided goes for the front runners, I know I am biased but still I think they will go Trump - but again, I honestly do not think there are any undecided between Trump or Cruz. They may have a notable number of undecided, most of which will go neither for Trump or Cruz but instead spread out between Huck, Santorum, Rubio, Carson. I don’t think any prediction has merit until we see Saturday.
I don’t trust all these polls, and this one seems especially dubious but I do think Cruz is losing steam over there fast.
