Cruz campaign manager prebutting DM Register Iowa Poll - Cruz doing presser at 615 right after it is released --

A vote cast for now, nutcase Ted Cruz is a wasted vote!!! Have you seen his campaign manager on TV? A real evil horror show, from A-Z!!! Add nutcase Glenn Beck to the mix and you have Loonie Tunes running amok!!! Trump wins big time and Marco Rubio finishes second....Cruz will finish , maybe at third....but could even drop further!!! The Cruz dude slit his own throat, politically!!! What a raving buffoon!!!

[txhurl]

Thanks. I feel pretty confident the mailing will be addressed in the presser. If I’m wrong about Cruz truly not knowing, I’ll ban myself.

Sounds like a Trump win here to me with Rubio in 2nd.

******************

Personally I thought Rubio had a great debate the other night. Much better than Cruz.
Granted I didn’t watch it intently but this is just the way it all came across to me.

I was hoping Cruz could make a solid run for it, despite his inexperience on the national stage. These recent, serious missteps look to be exposing his soft underbelly politically speaking. Which is very bad, and very good. Very bad because we needed someone like him (at least as I've perceived him before now); good, because these weaknesses needed to be exposed early.

I'm saddened by these events. We're left with precious fewer choices.

That's crazy talk. We all make mistakes.

[napscoordinator]

It’s not the stupid party, it’s the stupid man that you support. We want a conservative but Cruz is not conservative at all. You must be very gullible to consider Cruz conservative.

If you are backing and voting for Ted Cruz...you sure ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, IMHO. When Ted Cruz ties in with his furitcake, nutcase, campaign manager and that raving, madman, lunatic ego-drivn, nutcase, Glenn Beck....someblody by the name of Ted Cruz is not ready for prime time!!! Here’s the ticket, friend....Trump first, Rubio, second, Cruz third..or, eevn lower!!! End of story!!! A vote cast for Ted Cruz in Iowa or any other state in the union is simply an absolutely wasted, thrown away vote!!! Go Donald Trump!!!

I hope he is kicked to the curb on his Senate Seat.

Hopefully Texas voters will remember the Canadian in 2018.

President Trump will likely remind them during the Texas primary season.

Try to stay focused - which from your rambling post with its plethora of exclamation points seems to be a stretch. I'm not backing and voting for anyone yet. I like more than one candidate.

But given the timbre of your other FreeRepublic contributions, I don't expect to be able to maintain a logical, coherent conversation with you, so have a great day!

Last minute: who won it? If it’s Rubio I’ll scream.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

That is just peachy with me!!! Glad to hear you are considering other candidates....there is much hope for you ahead!!! And my friend,,, at 75 years young and still kicking strong....i really do not care what any one thinks of me, good, bad or, inbetween!!! My politically correct days ended long ago!!! Have a nice evening!!!

Listening now - mixed bag on other questions, horse race numbers haven;t been delivered yet. They are talking about sanders and Hillary right now.

Cruz won on "experienced," Trump won on "deal with other countries" and "change things."

Numbers coming up ... Trump 28 Cruz 23 Rubio 15 Carson 10

Donald Trump reclaims lead in latest Iowa Poll - Des Moines Register - 5:46 p.m. CST January 30, 2016

-- Now 20m til the presser. --

The poll has items that are helpful to Cruz. The article that I linked to earlier is a good preview of the Cruz campaign take, I think.

I would be shocked if the mailer is brought up by the campaign, and if it is brought up by a reporter, I think it will be "waved off" as an effort to get people to the polls - which is, of itself, a good thing. Not saying the tactic is good, just that objective is laudable.

Are you reading the polls’ findings? Fascinating. Especially where she assumes a 60% Evangelical turnout which tightens it up 25-26. Thank you!

[Cboldt]

-- Are you reading the polls' findings? --

Just started to. I often look at the polls. The articles are invariably misleading of what is in the polls.

[CrosscutSaw]

If Trump were to con his way to the Oval Office, I'm sure he wouldn't want Cruz in the Senate blocking his attempts at passing socialized medicine and forced increase in Ethanol levels and subsidies.

Trump would rather deal with McConnel and Schumer.

That's why Trump is trying to destroy Cruz.
