In Iowa, Cruz got victory...but no triumph.
..... the Carson rumor-mongering, the demeaning vote fraud mailers, and now the porn star ad, the Rubio PP/hood claims.....
Cruz has made a number of down-and-dirty errors that are costing him bigtime.
As one astute FReeper posted: It takes some effort to make winning Iowa a liability, but Ted and his boys managed to make it happen.
Just wait until Cruz gets to the South, things will be different!
Oh wait...
How could anyone support Bush? I just don’t see it. How could these clowns throw so much money behind him?
Jeb 6! Lolol
I just heard on Chris Wallace that Sanders had 14,000 at event in Denver yesterday. Just had to comment because I was shocked!
That’s a bigger lead for Trump in South Carolina than he had in New Hampshire.
Trump will win South Carolina.
Has Bush gone down?
“By four to one, South Carolina Republicans describe the “establishment” as a bad thing”
This is EXACTLY where the big money has brought us. Our party, the Republicans, have VIRTUALLY NO CONNECTION with their own voters.
I’m sure someone there will read this comment, and maybe it will help them understand why I’m voting for Trump and other than shooting people on 5th Ave. (maybe), I WILL NOT CHANGE MY VOTE.
Even calling in the whole family doesn’t seem to be helping Jeb. Actually, it may be doing just the opposite — showing how much of an insider/establishment politician he is with 2 recent former presidents from his family.
“Please clap.”
That should make an interesing political ad from one of the opposition.
Based on last night’s performance Trump will win by 30.
They good part is that Trump beats their combined total by 7.
Can anyone find the cross tabs?
Found it. 77% “won’t change” or “very strong’ in vote. Wow.
Last night on the live thread, many freepers said Trump was over, was unhinged, was deranged, and so much more.
He can't possibly have more than 3-4% /es

Donald Trump kicked backsides and took names in the debate. For that he came away with another 6-points in the polls.
Such averages, including the actual voting will, I believe give the clearest picture of the trends.
Here's what today's results show:
Including the NH results drove Trump's average down some...but overall he is maintaining his sizable lead.
Next weeks SC poll will be interesting now that the 10% of the vote that other wise would have gone to Christi, Fiorina, etc. is available to the others.
We will either see Trump increase his lead...or we may see Cruz or Rubio narrow it depending on where those votes go. In addition, with the higher evangelical totals in SC< I expect to see Cruz close the lead somewhat in any case.
we'll soon find out.
The further this election season moves along the more the words TRUMP MANDATE comes to mind.
Hmmm. 42/6=7
7*100=700%
Yo Jeb...
