Wow. Looks like Rush has full-blown DTS.
Ted Cruz NOT a “nasty guy” and a “Canadian”? What flavor Kool-Aid are you drinking, Rush?
Sheesh.
In before Rush gets thrown under the bus. I thought Obama was bad about deep sixing his detractors but just you wait.
Anyone that thinks Rubio is a ,’Full throated Conservative’, is a “Full throated Rino Hack”. And that’s exactly what Rush is.
Trump if he would have went a week early to campaign would have won. I mean Cruz won by 4 percent. Not exactly a huge amount. And with the Carson votes he took, that was 4 percent right there. So I don’t think going overboard on a win that Cruz was in the state for 2 years and spent a ton of money and had a decent ground game, but remember with all that, he only won by 4 percent.......not that great for how much he prepared.
1 delegate is all.
Like President Huckabee and President Santorum. May Cruz follow the same path.
A BOMB? Really? A BOMB?? And ALLCAPS BOMB?? Wow. How loud was the BOMB? Did it have an exclamation point? No, no exclamation points in the title. Just an ALLCAPS BOMB with no exclamation point. So a medium BOMB.
Retarded bloggers.
Cruz just went full LBJ v Goldwater, and said that Trump would "nuke Denmark."
“This is a Republican primary,” he said. “It’s Iowa. Conservatives win in Iowa.”
Bush, Dole, Dole, W., Huckabee, Santorum, Cruz. Conservatives win Iowa? 3 RINOs and 3 Holy Rollers won Iowa. Conservatives? LOL.
I think Rush nailed it
Reagan’s 11th Commandment
“widely expected to win in the state”
Only by folks who were political naive, or just have no long term memory.. Trump winning IA would have been a huge upset, anyone who understands the very nature of what and how a caucus works, and Iowa’s history could, and at least some did, tell you that Trump would likely not win IA.
Had Trump won IA it would have been an insanely huge upset, and basically mean the race was over. However anyone who’s lived through a few republican primaries could tell you polling in IA is notoriously bad, because the caucus format is not a private ballot, you wind up with a lot of odd results over the years coming out of the caucuses... and recent history is generally the candidate perceived as the most evangelical wins.
Trump did very well in IA, yes he didn’t win, but he did far better than a “loudmouth from new york, outsider” should do in a state like IA traditionally.
NH will be the real test of where Trump really falls, if he significantly under performs his polling there, then the entire optics of the campaign change drastically. If he doesn’t, and performs as he’s polling in NH and SC, he goes on to run the table.
Time will tell how it goes, but no one with any understanding of IA and history would have ever predicted Trump was the front runner, regardless of the poll numbers in IA.
He should trash his commie/socialist Dem opponents and start tootin' his own horn how he would be the best president...but stick to issues, issues, his business qualifications and more issues....not bragadocio and chest-thumping about himself as an Alpha Male.

except apparently about half of Free Republic. The kool aid is strong with the local trumpeters.
Noting that I will vote for either Trump or Cruz, somebody please send me a message the first time that Rush mentions Congresss constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
Rush is digging a very big hole for himself.
Last week, Rush was shilling for Cruz. This week, it's all about how great Rubio is. Rush is constantly telling his listeners that he doesn't endorse in the primary but his actions say otherwise.
I've been listening for 16 years and I'm astonished by what he has been saying the last week or so.
Wrong. It might well have cost Trump the victory. He could have held the benefit on a different night.
Trump narrowly missed getting the most votes because some of his supporters stayed home. Not his solid supporters. But those on the fence. We’re only talking a couple thousand supporters.
Not attending the debate was the right move for Trump. But I would guess that the fence-sitters were influenced by Fox News’ slanted coverage and their agenda to get good ratings for the debate that they were hosting.
Trump’s childish attacks on Cruz probably had little influence on the fence sitters. Those attacks didn’t help Trump, but I doubt they hurt him. Rush has been pushing the “11th commandment” for decades, but it doesn’t apply here.
“This is a Republican primary,” he said. “It’s Iowa. Conservatives win in Iowa.”
Specifically citing the negative barbs being hurled at Cruz, Limbaugh concluded that Trump has not been looking too conservative in the eyes of more and more GOP voters
