More wishful thinking from another RINO ... He should focus more energy on his drive time show here in ATL. With shows like his, I REALLY miss the Kimmer in afternoon.

Right Erickson again.

So Mr Drama Queen, who won Iowa in 2008 and 2012?

Let me refresh your memory.

2008 Huckabee

2012 Santroum.

We’ll see how the vote turns out in Iowa. From what I understand of the process it’s much more than just a simple vote....lots of arm twisting and structure that needs to be in place. I’m betting Trump has it locked up.

Erick Erikson eh? Everybody’s nobody.

He is so anti-Trump, he can’t stand to think that Trump is in the lead everywhere including Iowa.

And Trump is leading in Iowa.

Eric Erickson can kiss my a$$!

Crawl back into your hole, ee, whether I'm for Trump or not, I'll look to you for advice just as soon as I get it from Karl Rove, in other words, never!

How often has Iowa picked a winner?

2012 - Rick Santorum (25%), Mitt Romney (25%)

2008 – Mike Huckabee (34%), Mitt Romney (25%), Fred Thompson (13%), John McCain (13%)

2000 – George W. Bush (41%), Steve Forbes (31%), Alan Keyes (14%)

1996 – Bob Dole (26%), Pat Buchanan (23%), Lamar Alexander (18%)

1988 – Bob Dole (37%), Pat Robertson (25%), George H. W. Bush (19%)

1980 – George H. W. Bush (32%), Ronald Reagan (30%), Howard Baker (15%)

Not sure I’d worry about Iowa. I hope not, since Carson does NOT impress me at all!

The stupidity of the conservative voter base if this is accurate, would be evident if they would vote for Carson.

The tortured attempts by people here to even construct a rationale for supporting him beyond some sentimental nonsense involving his religious life and his “soft-spokeness” shows me that this is nothing short of a narrative push. It would be more believable if Cruz was in this spot. Oddly enough he isn’t close, so that tells me something has to be off here.

Or this is just Iowa trying to be cute because that’s what they are “supposed to do”. Give a win to the dumbest choice just to get candidates to spend time and money on them...just so that the same goobers don’t show up in November, and hand the state over to the nearest Democrat.

I thought RedState had the good sense to fire this establishment hack.

Good luck with your RINO/GOPee attempts at shutting out Trump, Erick the Red.

No sale. Your *facts* don’t add up. Trump has some of the most solid support, of ANY of the candidates....so, there’s that.

The Trunp supporters are full of excuses.

I guess the hosting of SNL will help his polls numbers.... Sarcasm.

Wait...isn’t this the guy who was sputtering about how illegal immigration is no big deal just a few months ago?

How Don Trump was just an evil xenophobic racist blah blah?

The so-called “conservative”, Erick Erickson.

I would hardly use the term “crisis”. Carson could drop just a quick as he rose.
