Like Cruz did with his ads in IA today....
Nothing. The liberal wing of FR will support the New York liberal and the conservative wing will support the Texas conservative. Any Rubio supporters will remain silent or elsewhere because honestly who needs the shit that will be flung their way?
It's amazing that he couldn't anticipate that happening. Does he not know how the media works?
We would all have to post much more and hit the keys very very hard.
If Cruz and Rubio are running close after Iowa, Trump needs to stand back (doubtful) and let the two of them duke it out. If Rubio looks like he is surging with any kind of strength, Trump has to go after him.....and so do we. Mr. Gang of 8 cannot become a problem. IMO, Cruz is done.
Rubio isn’t qualified either. New round of birther debate. Trump will fuel it.
Rubio is Trump’s next target anyway. Cruz has peaked, and his popularity will go down substantially in the next month.
Damn, they proved you correct very quickly!!
I do not know how common this is, but one Iowa family has been getting mailed fliers from Rubio several times a week. Also some from Cruz and Bush, but nothing from Trump. On TV, at least during the shows they watch, most of the ads have been pro-Rubio, how tough he is on immigration. Bush’s ads have been mainly anti Rubio.
In 2007, it was Mike Huckabee (wrong), and in 2011 it was Rick Santorum (wrong). In 1995, it was Bob Dole (correct), in 1987 it was Bob Dole (wrong), in 1979 it was George H. W. Bush (wrong).
So since 1979 they have correctly picked the eventually nominee twice, 1995 and the nominee Dole lost to Clinton, and 1999, Bush who won the nomination and the election.
I can’t imagine any scenario where Rubio becomes president, so if he wins Iowa my prediction is that no matter what, if he gets to the nomination, he will lose.
Well...it’s true. Santorum won it in the last week. You are quite correct. Surprises can happen.
What happens if Rubio wins Iowa?”
The same thing that happened last time when the frontrunners did not win Iowa I guess. Nothing. Iowa is not as important as it is made out to be.
Well...this Trump/Cruz one has been very memorable in its own right. Lots of FRiends blasting FRiends without remembering that for the most part we all want the same things. Even after Washi's thread. I'm guilty. Piled on Ted. So is Washi however. And I will continue to until Mr. Cruz drops. Much as I expect Washi to until Monday night. It's the nature of this blood sport, but in the end we need to keep the big picture in focus and remember that as Christians, we are called to forgive. As we have been forgiven. Carry on FR. And thanks to Jim for letting us duke it out. ;-)
Well, I would guess the border race over goes into full meltdown.
Rubio is totally unqualified. He is a fist-term senator controlled by special interests. He responds with memorized speeches. Litigation over his nbc status would last for a long time. He has no experience and no achievements. He is for amnesty and Syrian “immigrants” and was a member of the Gang of Eight.
Lol. Nothing like getting right down to it!! Bttt
Fox TV has also been pimping him. Fox has a conflict of interest re Rubio. Several posters have mentioned links between him and Sammons.
Looks like Cruz peaked too early in Iowa. Lots of apoplexy coming to the Cruz Camp Monday night.
Until then, though, TRUMP IS A POOPYHEAD!
There will be a huge market for ice skates in hell...
