Agree. Debate exit was big error. I loved the rally though.

Ground game.

New Yorker in farm country.

But he got 8 delegates to Cruz’s 7. That’s solid.

Cruz folks enjoy the win. Long haul to come.

I want to beat Hillary with a non amnesty build a wall candidate. Trump or Criz are fine. Rubio is not.

Somehow I don’t think Ed wrote this this morning....

[Qwackertoo]

His arrogance and low road attacks turn me off of him. I truly hope he doesn’t get the GOP Nomination.

Because Iowa is filled with Religious fanatics?

Now they're "religious fanatics?" You'd be praising them as "evangelicals" had Trump carried their vote.

Why Donald Trump Got Schlonged In Iowa

I see Team Cruz is keeping classy as usual /s

[annieokie]

The author nailed Trump in that article:

This OUCH

""""but he came very close to a humiliating third place behind Marco Rubio."""....

That right there is the REAL biggie. Cruz beat him handedly and RUBIO nipped his heels.....

I doubt that Don can change the attitude as described in this article going forth, the ego will not let him

"you are going to get so tired of me winning" Well Secretariat stumbled right out of the gate.

LOVE the headline!

[conservativejoy]

The author is just using one of the terms coined by Trump.

[deport]

One down, forty-nine states to go.

*****************

Don’t forget the voting territories and DC.

Trump did not get schlonged in Iowa. He came in 2nd, in a RECORD turnout caucus. He's the reason it was a record turnout!

And when he wins NH, SC and Super Tuesday, the enemedia will never say that Cruz or Rubio got schlonged.

[McGruff]

Ted cruz won Iowa, so did President Huckabee and President Santorum. Ronald Reagan lost Iowa.

Ted's 8 to Trump's 7 delegates is not "scholnged". Especially since had Ted had to play such dirty pool to get his six.

"Cruz Iowa staffer Spence Rogers sent precinct captains an email during the caucus hinting that Carson planned to leave the race, despite the fact that Carson's campaign said he would continue.

"Breaking News. The press is reporting that Dr. Ben Carson is taking time off from the campaign trail after Iowa and making a big announcement next week," the email, acquired by CNN, read. "Please inform any Carson caucus goers of this news and urge them to caucus for Ted Cruz."

Meanwhile, Cruz surrogate Iowa Rep. Steve King told followers on Twitter that "Carson looks like he is out."

Carson looks like he is out. Iowans need to know before they vote. Most will go to Cruz, I hope. https://t.co/lW5Js50EMA— Steve King (@SteveKingIA) February 2, 2016

Carson told Fox News his wife, Candy, had to correct the misinformation at one event.

"She spoke at one of the caucus sites and before she got there one of the Cruz people had again disseminated that information to the crowd," he said. "And one of the organizers told her 'I'm so glad you're here, so you could set the record straight.' And she did and we actually won in that precinct."

Carson's campaign was furious when they first learned of the tactic, and Carson decried it as a "dirty trick" during remarks Monday night at a party with supporters in West Des Moines.

"This is really a dirty trick," Carson said. "This makes me more determined than ever to keep going."

Cruz's campaign defended the Rogers message to the precinct captains.

"Carson said he was taking time off to go home. We simply repeated what he said," Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said Monday. "Our email simply stated the facts."

When asked what the "big announcement" mentioned in the email referred to, Frazier did not respond."

Watch the “COME BACK KID” . This is going to be hilarious . Go TRUMP!!

3) A lack of ground game -— that alone will cost him the General if he is nominated.

LOL! Yeah Trump lost SOOO big, that he only got one less delegate than Cruz. I have a feeling this writer won’t be talking so much a week from tonight after Cruz gets schlonged by Trump and Rubio in NH.

[texas_mrs]

I don't worry about it. It is the equivalent of watching an almost 70 year old man have a two year old's fit. :)

They're venting on the keywords - LOL.

.... His arrogance and low road attacks turn me off of him. I truly hope he doesn’t get the GOP Nomination.
We aren’t alone on that, indeed about 70% of the gop seems to agree with us. Well, that and his policies changing weekly, his liberal background, his tendency to trash conservatives and praise his lefty friends, and on and on.

[stars & stripes forever]

[Gee—Trump comes in second in an event that has very low, if any, future predictive validity, and it’s over.]

However, RUBIO is being touted as the comeback kid at 3rd place (which he always was) Go figure.
