The Cruz/Trump wars are killing both candidates and moving Rubio up to prime Romney position. Here's the poll from PPP to be released tomorrow:
Trump 25 Cruz 21 Rubio 21 Carson 11 Jebra 5 Kasich 5 Rand 5 Christie 3 Fiorina 3 Gilmore 1 Santorum 0
Rubio is calling on the party to 'consolidate' (guys behind me drop out and endorse me).
The MSM is laughing about the Trump vs. Cruz war and encouraging it -- Karl Rove on Fox tonight telling Trump he was right; Trump did steal Iowa; go sue over it and keep imploding pursuing it.
This is a calculated destruction of the insurgency candidates by the GOPe.
Unfortunately, as can be seen on this board, Trump and Cruz are playing into the hands of the Uniparty right now.
If you can get to Trump or Cruz, tell them to talk and go back to fighting the real fight - against the Washington cartel - and not killing off our chances for a non-amnesty candidate.
No way can jebbie or KaSICKO be moved up!
Rubio puts them in a win/win. They win with him and they win with Hillary.
Agree. Those are poll numbers out tomorrow likely right after Iowa. Trump did a good job there with the speech that night.
Today was a disaster. The MSM narrative, “Trump is a loser, he’s beat, he’s going down, it’s over, he’s toast, and look at this poll!”
Trump was awful on Fox tonight and on Twitter.
I’ll be paying close attention. I hope he doesn’t spend a lot of time bashing St. Ted The Righteous and Lord Defender of Denmark. Trump needs to make sure everyone knows that Rubio is being called in the Mexican papers the “Republican Obama” and that Rubio is a robo-tool of the Ruling Class.
And what to Ruling Class tools do?
See George W. Bush and Barack Hussein Obama for more info.
As Jackie Gleason put it, New York, New Yorkers consider having to spend the night anywhere other than NYC as “camping”.
Especially when faced with staying in one of the “big square states”, and the closer to the Mississipi river, the more onerous the stay.
Hawkeyes/’clones sensed or knew this, yet Trump still took 7 delegates away, while every churchgoers’ deacon got only one more. Some even gave their vote to :-( Beatle boots, rather than the carpetbagger or Cruz.
Trump walked away with feathers sticking out of his mouth. Telling Fox news to get stuffed was the perfect thing to do.
One of the hardest things for Trump to fake is sincerity, but he did it late Monday night. Let’s hope Rubio (and by my lights, Cruz as well) continue to feel confident.
Trump has cut a lot of legs off at the knees over the last half century, or for about as long as the Cuban twins have been drawing breath. The thing I dislike about him most is his smugness, but ... oh well.
Good point about the media goading Trump.
They are having a field day with his emotional personality type because it is so easy to get a reaction out of him.
then we can say we knew you when
PPP is a liberal poll that never polls Trump high. He was at 26 percent in their last poll back in November. Disregard this outlier poll.

Trump has finally gotten people to talk about Teddy's LYING and CHEATING, but oh me, oh my, clutch your pearls, he's a "disaster".
Why don't you and others understand that you're NOT seeing what Trump is doing as a good and the right thing to do?
Good grief....go learn some FACTUAL American political history!
Jefferson was THE dirtiest campaigner there EVER was and he LOST to Adams, the first go round!
Old Tom makes stupid Teddy's dirty tricks look childish.
And after all that, things didn't improve any.
Tonight on Newsmax a reporter from NH was interviewed and he said the minute Paul announced he was quitting just about all the staffers went over to Trump. Surprised me, but that’s exactly what he said.
I agree. Trump may be doing his ‘take a break to go on a book tour’ moment.
More than self sabotage on purpose, I think the GOPe did a psychological profile on Trump and calculated this plot. They set up Trump and he took the bait.
He didn’t take it the Iowa vote night, but now he’s in total meltdown. He needs close advisers who have total message control over his Twitter and Fox comments. Well, at least can tell him to move beyond and be humble.
“I’m just thankful to have gotten this far. To me a win is when the issues I feel are important — border security, American jobs, treating our vets right -— are addressed. I’m here to solve problems. if someone else can do it, I can go back to my very nice life. “
Humble... consensus building... willing to listen and learn.... out for the American people instead of himself.... not personalizing everything.
But they’ve got a rap sheet profile on Trump now and are pushing his buttons.
Karl Rove, “Hey look Trump - Cruz DID steal it. Go sue him!”
It’s obvious.
It’s not checkers vs. chess. These politicos are playing 3D chess! Vulcan sh*t!
This isn't COLLEGE!
And Ted is INELIGIBLE to be president!
It will never end as long as Cruz lies about Trump’s positions and thinks the American people are going to believe him. Trump is not for ObamaCare. Trump is not weak on illegal immigration and does not want to grant amnesty. Trump is not pro-abortion. Cruz has repeated every one of these out and out lies 50 times a day for the past week. Cruz apparently is a big fan of this man...
“If you tell a lie enough times, people will start believing it”. ~ Joseph Goebbels
Open source!
I’ve sort of had it.
I’ve unfollowed and turned off Levin and have given up FOX.
Now even FR is depressing.
When you think people should know better and they don’t...
I’m afraid you’re right. It’s like trying to hold back a tsunami...
Cruz supporters care a lot.
We’re just not deluded, vicious idiots.
Trump’s dynamic and Cruz’s dynamic are very different things.
He held a big rally in Arkansas, earlier. 11,000 people. He sounded great! Sneaky Cruz was mentioned in passing....then on to dumping Obamacare, kicking the shit out of ISIS, getting rid of gun free zones, protecting the 2nd amendment and saying Merry Christmas! Love him!
Nobody goaded Trump into a meltdown.
Trump does that whenever the least thing goes against him.
Like a Fox news babe asking a snide question.
Not manly.
Not presidential.
He’s not in total meltdown, he’s fighting back. O’Reilly even confirmed tonight that the Cruz campaign deliberately went out to all districts with false information. O’Reilly’s saying it hurt Dr. Carson and it did but it also hurt Trump.
Why should he sit back and let Cruz get by with deceiving voters during active caucuses.
Here is RCP National Average
Put a trend line on each guy and you will find that only Trump and Cruz have positive slope!
