Even if Iowa’s first-in-the-nation Republican caucuses do not always pick the winner, they have been known to derail front-runners. Trump knows this. So does Cruz. So do the pundits. And so do Republicans across the country.

Trump could really use a win in Iowa. If he gets it, along with the wins he has a good shot at securing in the ensuing New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries, he could be well on his way to becoming the Republican nominee.

Have been here for quite a while longer friend in a different guise.


OH, Why did you leave?
Who were you before?
Maybe some of us old-timers will recognize you from before? :)

I think Beck's support of Cruz is the key to a Trump victory in Iowa

I suspect the shaming mailing by Cruz is good for a few percentage points for Trump.

Cruz may have been born Catholic, but I believe he is Baptist with Dominionsit leanings...

It has been my experience that there is a deep seated competition amongst denominations. I am guessing the Cruz evangelicals have issues with the Trump evangelicals. Each denomination claim they have the inroad to Jesus... proof is in the fruits. Sometimes plate collections trumps everything... The biggest giver gets the front row pew.

The stalinesqe public shaming letters are going to be a big help too.


I have not heard the letters described as “Stalinesque public shaming letters” ,but very well put!

That was a good observation and I'll bet we were not the only ones to make it. That Beck thing reeked of desperation.

NOT all frauds have yet been exposed.... You might need a rubber room when the exposure takes place. Or perhaps you are the third smartest person in America... Behind Hillry, and Cruz. Neither Hillry or Cruz will listen to anyone who tells them anything but how smart they are...

Sarah is a “non-entity and exposed as a fraud”? Real nice. Enjoy your stay N00b.

Yes.

Watch this video. Palin is shown towards the end of the video which was just released today. Trump and those that will vote for Trump overwhelmingly approve of the Palin endorsement.

Even Ted doesn't look too happy in this picture.

He's thinking "this is what pulling defeat from the jaws of victory feels like"

So you're a retread. What was your former handle?

And what did you get the zot for?

Again, say what you want but these ages old biases and preferences don’t disappear easily. Whether one acknowledges it or not, I think there is something to this. Of the top five, Trump is the only Protestant.

I find this even more interesting when you look at the USSC: five Catholics and three Jews. The majority religion in America isn’t represented on the USSC. Just something in passing. . . . .

Some things are so obvious that one doesn't notice until they are pointed out. Hmmm. Five Catholics and three Jews on the Supreme Court, and Trump is the only Protestant standing for President. There is a book here somewhere, or a least a thread. It would be fascinating.

She is a non-entity now and exposed as a fraud.

Speaking of frauds...didn't you just sign up here a month ago?

Sarah Palin is a populist like Trump

Sarah took down the GOP establishment in ALASKA

She has not said anything bad about Cruz

She thinks Trumps a winner

The GOP had a star but they could not control her so they trashed her

Palin fell off the wagon when she eroded her social conservative credentials in endorsing Trump.
She is a non-entity now and exposed as a fraud.
Too bad. I liked her.


Smell that n00b?

You`re disappointing SJ.

You`re predicable.

You`re a broken record.

You`re robotic.

You’re incapable of a persuading.

You troll.

You add nothing.

You’re negative.

You’re wasting a ton of bandwidth, I assume your passion is backed up with donation.

How’s TBBT doing?

You sure took up a lot of page for that spew. Do they pay you by the word?
