50 Days to Go in Iowa: Who Can Beat Trump?
Conservative Review ^ | December 7, 2015 | Steve Deace

Posted on 12/08/2015 7:54:24 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

The first-in-the-nation Iowa Caucuses are technically 56 days from now. But if you account for the upcoming holidays, when most Americans tune out politics in favor of yuletide cheer, there’s really 50 days to go.

And how Iowans may ultimately turn out come February 1, could very well be decided this week.

That’s because word on the street is that’s when Bob Vander Plaats and The Family Leader, the last remaining coveted endorsement of the cycle, are schedule to unveil which of the candidates they will put their considerable influence behind....

It’s possible the evangelicals can pull it out for Ted Cruz but the electorate has changed its composition since 2008, 2012. The electorate is now more independent than ever.

I think Trump’s supporters come out in droves for him.

Jeb is the motionless monster lying on the floor in a horror movie. You think he's dead so you cautiously approach him to get a better look at him and then the camera pans in real close and then... OMG LOOK OUT! he's still alive and dangerous!

It's a trick. Get an axe.

I’ll bet a significant percentage of Trump’s support comes from folks who haven’t voted in past elections.

Jesse Ventura collected the mainstream Republican vote and the important independent vote with the same strategy Trump’s using.

Trump might well be our next president.

Do you realize how cold it is on a typical February night in Iowa? “Tailgate parties?” It is to laugh.

Trump’s popularity, and his poll numbers, can be explained by one simple sentence from the movie “Network:

“We’re mad as hell and we are not going to take it anymore!”

The media and politicians and pundits are not taking Trump seriously, but Trump represents the pent up anger from the people. Trump could easily win the presidency if the people continue to believe that Trump best represents their moods and needs and desires.

From what I’ve seen of past Iowa winners, it’s fairly irrelevant who wins.

Ok, so that means he’s spending a boatload of money for lodging and feeding people.

Trump v Bush head to head from PPP in the last 6 weeks. NC T64 B30. NH T54 B38. IA T55 B37. SC T57 B32. They also did a national poll T55 B34. Rush had a thread talking about Bush wanting a one on one with Trump? Bring it on Jebby. Note NC taken this past weekend so shows influence of the Islamo***ks murderous rampage in San Bernardino
