Horowitz: Hawkeye Humiliation: Cruz Crushes Cartel
conservativereview.com ^ | February 01, 2016 | Daniel Horowitz

“Vote for anyone but Cruz,” declared the much-vaunted Iowa establishment governor, Terry Branstad. Between Trump, the establishment, and Fox News, they threw everything they had at him in the months preceding the 2016 Iowa Caucus.

We heard it all: birtherism, ethanol, Goldman Sachs loans, the Palin endorsement, Cruz supposedly losing every debate, the Santorum/Huckabee sniping, the entire establishment ganging up to defeat him. Then we were told that even if Cruz wins Iowa, a victory would only occur in the event of low turnout. After all, the newbies will all be for Trump. Well, Cruz won with a record turnout, projected to be near 180,000. It also appears that Cruz will break Mike Huckabee’s previous record of the most total votes received by the caucus winner. And he did it in an elevn-person race.

“If you have a problem with white people, there’s another political party where you might feel more at home.”

Drama queen much?

I’m tired of losing because we put up candidates with little appeal outside of the traditional GOP base, which is conservative whites. (of which I’m one)

Seems some people are happy to continue losing elections, smug in their opinion of themselves, as the country burns.

Projecting a probable Cruz victory vs. Hillary this far ahead in time in even more silly.

Silly, maybe. But it's just plain stupid to claim that Cruz can't beat Hillary!, or whoever the dems nominate, at this time. Lots of stupidity going on out there.

As badly wounded as she is, enough people in this country simply won’t pull the levers for a Republican.

But if they stay home, that's still half as good. I can't see, outside of the hard-core feminazis, anyone being enthusiastic about voting for HRC - no way she turns out young voters like Obama did (twice).

All of the real ‘Evangelicals’ did vote for Cruz.

The fake ones have always blown with the wind.

You are not recognizing concern trolling when you see it.

Of course Cruz will win the general; that is what is pissing them off.

“Which why he has made enemies inside his party and the Left hates him.”

As Trump said; “No one in Washington likes him”.

I was screaming THAT’S A GOOD THING! THat’s what we want!

NH plays weather vane.

They like to pretend that they have the Mojo to predict the winner early, so they will follow whomever appears to be the winner.

This time, they are going to have to think.

(good luck on that)

Cruz is not showing any sign of decline, Trump owns the decline line for the foreseeable future.

He declined all day yesterday.

Nope. The RCP average today shows Rubio beating Hillary.

We know that will never happen. No way in hell does Rubio beat hilary.

So...what do I want? I suppose a combination of history plus current data. I see history on the side of the Clintons, and against Rubio...and maybe...against Cruz.

I see Trump as sort of outside historical analysis.

I do not believe a today’s numbers are adequate.

“You are one sick and deluded trumpet!”

Nice personal attack.

Much like liberals, who lack the capacity for rational discussion. Maybe you need to change parties.

You know, Rush just said that hilary is done. I guess her “victory speech” was pretty pathetic. He said, this is not the 1990s.

Maybe you and Rush are right. Yes, I admit, I am scared of the ruthlessness/corruption of the Clintons. I just see them as winning all the time...08 being an exception. And even then, she came close.

In anye event...to be continued! I really do hope that she is done! I just don’t believe it yet!

I'm tired of losing because we put up candidates with little appeal outside of the traditional GOP base, which is conservative whites. (of which I'm one)

We've not put up a candidate who had appeal to conservative since Ronald Reagan. And he won big time!!

Romney? The father of obamacare? He was a democrat in drag and did not excite the base at all.

(Good God I totally forgot the name of the other corpse they ran. Oh wait! it was McCain wasn't it? Shows how exciting he was.)

McCain, The original Manchurian candidate? Who backstabbed conservatives every chance he got? The only thing anywhere near exciting about him to the conservatives was Sarah Palin.

Both those guys were democrats in drag.

When we run true conservatives we win and win big. Because this is still a Conservative country at heart. But when it comes down to voting for a democrat, or a democrat in drag, why even bother. The end result of a Romney administration would have been obamacare (but called romneycare instead). If I lose no matter what I do why even play?

Now we have the chance to run a true conservative. And we will win big!! (of course the GOPe will lose but those guys can all drop dead for all I care. They've betrayed us far too often)

....Sanders....”He destroyed Hillary with the youth vote and ran up big margins in the college towns.”

Yes, and now that’s Rubio’s target as well.....take a look at what Rubio won in Iowa....college areas.

That’s how Trump operates....will cozy up to whoever and whatever the moment calls for to look favorable to what he sees as necessary to win........but indeed he’s the Loser!
