second that
Tainted with the Carson charge, but end justifies means, correct?
The lengthy duration of Cruz’s speech evoked that of another cuban: Fidel Castro.
Thank goodness the media here isn’t controlled by the state, so they freely chose to go elsewhere after 20 minutes. :)
Probably the only state Ted Cruz will win. And he’s still ineligible.
I haven't heard that since 1988.
How does anyone buy his Baptist preacher condescending schtick? I don’t see how anyone doesn ‘t see thru that government lawyer BS.
Cruz echoes Reagan in Iowa? But the caucus voters didn’t since they gave the victory to GHWB over Reagan in 1980.
An omen?
An imitation is always inferior to the original.
Ted did sound like Ronald and I loved every minute of it! only a moron can’t see that Ted is the conservative’s only hope to get America back on track!
Prediction: The sleazy Cruz machine will get crushed in NH and Doc Carson will end up endorsing fellow outsider Trump afterwords.
Not breaking news.
That's an interesting perspective given that we are actually looking at a three-way in what one might describe as Cruz's own church. Sure, the vote totals were high - but they were high for all of the top three. I would have thought Cruz should easily have gotten a third of the vote - but he was in the twenties, shared with a New York guy with a funny haircut and Marco 'amnesty' Rubio.
The biggest loser, however, was not Ted but IA. Sure they had a high vote total, but look at the exposure. What a mess: between folks being hustled and pitched inside the doors to the coin toss for Hillary, I think Iowa is on its way to the scrapheap. The entire process smacks of Tammany Hall and 'Boss Tweed' politics.
I wish Cruz would have taken it in a walk, really - followed by Trump and the rest getting nothing. In reality, something happened inside the doors to the Trump-polled-crowd. Youth vote maybe? Who knows. But clearly Rubio was a big winner. As the amnesty, establishment guy his youth and glibness got him an equal share at the Olympic podium, spin it as thou list.
Going into NH Rubio can say, "Rally around me." Cruz can say it, but it rings hollow. Trump can still stay on message and claim to have done much better than expected - all to play out in a few days.
But Reagan finished 2nd in Iowa after blowing off the debate. So I guess Trump was echoing Reagan.
Statistical 3 way tie. Bragging rights are thin at best. Nobody on the Reps or the Dems should be crowing today. Ted the head might want to tone it down a notch.
>>Cruz vastly overperformed expectations and outhustled Donald Trump to win 29 percent of Iowa voters<<
Just love the liberal media. “outhustled Trump”
How nice.
Cruz 2016
Cruz’ speech hit the epitome of creepiness. That interaction with his mother... just eeeewwww. Oozing smarm. One of the worst speeches ever. Almost sinful to compare to Reagan.
I used to hold Cruz as my #2 after Trump. Now my #2 is nobody. “Freedom” is just another word for “nothing left to lose”.
