It wasn’t that far from projections and in some polls he won.
I like Cruz but i didn’t think it meant much going forward,
I think it will be The Wild man and the communist.
If it is, how could I NOT vote for a fellow NYer :)
I think Iowa isn’t as important as it’s made out to be. Both Trump and Cruz should move on and go after Rubio. He is the only one that made hay in Iowa.
New Hampshire is NOT the kind of place to go for Cruze. As a matter of fact, many places aren’t.
It’s a newly released poll that has not made it to RealClearPolitics.com. It should be listed sometime tomorrow or later today.
.....”interesting is that Cruz doesn’t seem to be making much of his Iowa win”.......
He wouldn’t regarding NH.....though it would be nice... his chances there are slim with such a liberal state. I think the idea is to let it play out there however it plays...he’s made his appearances with great turn out where he could capture some areas....otherwise he’s wise to move ahead.
The Carson maneuver seems to have backfired on Ted Cruz in the sense that while he won the Iowa caucus, he lost his halo as Saint Ted Washington Cartel Slayer. Carson pointed out on Greta tonight, that after Ted Cruz stood up at one caucus site and said that Ben Carson had dropped out, Candy Carson, who wasn’t going to speak, “was allowed” to speak and deny Ted Cruz’s statement. Ben Carson said that he won that particular caucus.
So who knows how many votes shifted from Carson to Cruz at the caucuses where the lie was allowed to go unchallenged. As Karl Rove pointed out: a little more than 4 votes in each caucus shifting from Carson to Cruz would have given Cruz the victory over Trump.
Huckabee won Iowa in 2008, got 11% in New Hampshire
Santorum won Iowa in 2012, got 9% in New Hampshire
It's clear that New Hampshire doesn't give rip about what Iowa has to say. Cruz will finish a distant third, at best, there.
I’m a little surprised that there does not appear to be a thread on the Dem debate (2/4/16).
Not even a Dem Debate drinking game?
The infighting on our side may have us too distracted...
Soviet Red Hampshire has a HUGE heroin problem...would Donald’s ‘wall’ help put a dent in trafficking?
Watched BOR last night and he mentioned the time line of the Iowa vote “controversy”. He pointed out Cruz shouldnt be held responsible due to the timeline of events. Cruz, couldnt possibly be responsible. Questions about CNN are on target tho.
Gilmore is coming on strong
