Regardless, Iowa is more conservative than New Hampshire, no?

Exactly. The entire media complex is insane. They are determined to give us Rubio and they’ll achieve it, on the orders of the GOPe of course.

Talk about a swarm of whores for money.

Trump lost for many reasons. Skipping the debate was just one of them.

Cruz cheating cost Trump Iowa.

Donald Ducking the debate cost him the debate. He is now acting like a petulant child. "I lost. Lets do it over! It's not fair!"

The more I see about Donald Duck, the less I like him. Still better that the Rats, but a far second behind Cruz

They seem to like Bernie

A socialist almost won in Iowa, so I am not going to say they are more or less conservative then NH. They are probably lean more “center”, they did vote Obama in the last two elections.

Iowa is weird to me

“It also sent a signal to many Iowa voters that he wasn’t taking his own campaign seriously. “

I think it sent the signal that he thought he was above the process. Very egotistical to think he could set the agenda instead of playing nice.

Having the other two losers at his event didn’t help either.

...and he went on to say it was worth it, to raise the money for the veterans. The media either lies or tells half truths to create a lie.

If true that just goes to show that Iowans must be the most self-centered, narcissistic people on the planet.

Honestly, you want Donald Trump, a man with BILLIONS in New York Real Estate take on Bill De Blasio so he can prove he is more pure?

What a stupid business move that would be

You know and I know, the minute he attacked Commie Bill, Commie Bill would have every single inspection agencies in all of Donald’s buildings finding all sorts of “violations” even though the building just passed inspection a week before with no issues.....

You want him to take that kind of risk? Would you? Would you attack the mayor of your town while owning commercial Real Estate? I wouldn’t. I don’t own billions worth, but I still don’t need the surprise “fire inspection” where they find the alarm panel “insufficient” and needs to be upgraded for a cost of 30K just because I called the mayor an idiot publicly......

That’s insane, Grandpa. Fox may not be perfect, but they’re miles better than anything else out there.

And speaking of not being perfect, Trump is much further away from it than there are.


Wait, you are on here lambasting Trump for being a fake conservative, but defending a fake conservative News Network?

Do you work for them?

Rupert Murdock is a big supporter of amnesty and open borders, no thanks, I don't need to watch that "news"

Grandpa is right!

Then why did he more recently say this about him...

"N.Y.C. has the worst Mayor in the United States. I hate watching what is happening with the dirty streets, the homeless and crime! Disgrace"

Trump is a fast learner—and some missteps are to be expected. In this instance he should have listened to Bill O Reily and did the Debate—But—he’s only been at this job since June and a 2nd place showing is realistic and a tribute to his persistence. Now he needs new ideas and new goals to carry him to victory in New Hampshire.

Why don't you give up the media Stockholm Syndrome.

Look at the facts:
Trump is on Fox more than all the other GOP candidates combined.
Megyn Kelly deliberately gave Trump a celebrity feud, not conservative policy. That question could have been designed by his campaign.
When he wasn't at the last debate, she blasted his opponents with questions she would never dare to ask him.

I have facts, you have swears.

I agree. I think he made the right decision. Fox was 100% after him - to make him look bad. They even had the audience set up.
