Ted Cruz won last week's Iowa caucuses, exceeding expectations and capturing an impressive 27 percent of the vote. Donald Trump took second place, while Marco Rubio took third.
What happened next?...
(Excerpt) Read more at vox.com ...
The media and the Democrats can destroy Trump with 30 years of interviews and quotes. They can turn him into a joke and a clown in no time flat.
They can’t attack Cruz on his public persona and history as a public figure. They have to face him on the issues. And that’s where Cruz’ conservative arguments will win the day with the public just as Reagan’s and Gingrich’s did.
>>Deeds? Trump has no deeds. He’s a novelty.
>>He had money and he made money. Some studies showed that if he had done nothing, he would be exactly as rich as he is now.
I’m throwing the BS flag on that ridiculous claim. Please share these studies.
Maybe, but I think Trump communicates in the only way he is able to.
I can’t, but JimRob posted such a study one time and I read it.
How many people lost their shirts in Trump’s casinos? I didn’t realize running casinos was now considered a humanitarian endeavor.
The Clinton’s are excellent at collecting dirty and using it. They have blackmailed and bribed over the years with great success. I don’t know about poor old Bernie but ...
Anyway, there is an absolute treasure trove of trash in The Donald’s past.
And don’t think the democrats aren’t making a great big pile of it.
>>The media and the Democrats can destroy Trump with 30 years of interviews and quotes.
The media and Democrats don’t vote Republican. They do sway some donors. Trump isn’t trying to get the hard-core Democrat vote, the media vote, or the crony capitalist donor money. These are the things that can destroy a regular GOP candidate when their past gets chopped up into sound bites.
They can only destroy him if Republicans stay home and allow Hillary to win because they prefer her and that means that those voters are controlled by the media.
Studies say Trump speaks at the 4th grade level. All I ask is for 3 or 4 grades higher than that.
>>Maybe, but I think Trump communicates in the only way he is able to.
He’s a businessman. He deals with businessmen, bureaucrats, and banks all the time. A 3rd grade vocabulary is all you need with that crowd.
I think Trump possesses a bigger vocabulary than you think.
Isn’t it funny that the one thing the Trumpers and GOP elites have in common is hatred and fear of Cruz?
Oh, I’m not sure you’re right.
A lot of Republican voters are conservative and quite a few are even religious.
I don’t think the kind of salacious past the Donald has would be very attractive to the average decent voter.
I’m sure that tapes exist of his cozy little chats with Howard Stern wherein they discussed their sexual conquests.
>>I can’t, but JimRob posted such a study one time and I read it.
LOL. Well, of course. /s
I’ll give you two cents for that opinion. It’s pretty dang good.
On what issue? Cruz came out in favor of the border wall years ago. Trump probably got the idea from watching Cruz discuss it on “the shows.”

The true bellweather is SC. So hopefully after Feb 19th and Trump takes that state we can convince you to take a break. :-)
I’m still laughing my ass off.. tears streaming down my face...
Of course you don’t believe it. It portrays The Donald has a man who wasn’t a total genius at making money.
But, oddly enough, I would not have posted that it it were not something I’d read and Jim agreed with.
Yeah, and Trump can do the most push-ups of anybody in the world and his plane flies faster than light.
You are certifiable. Trump employs about 23,000 people, which is very nice, but is magnitudes short of your ridiculous "at least tens of millions of families" claim.
The Trump/Stern interviews are on YouTube. Getting the Howard Stern clips will be the easiest part of the Trump oppo research.
