Ok Freepers, put down the Trump/Cruz bats for a minute and consider this.
According to polling a plurality of Iowa voters are either undecided or soft in their support for any candidate.
Religious voters play a significant role in Iowa politics.
Religious voters have demonstrated in the past a distaste for candidate who engage in the bare knuckle politics Cruz/Trump have recently engaged in.
Historically polling in Iowa has been rather in accurate. Iowa almost always produces a surprise result.
Rubio has gone full out of for the religious votes. His ads spend a lot of time with him talking about his religious faith. His stump speechs spend a lot of time on his faith
Team Cruz switched from targeting Trump to going after Rubio today.
MN will follow.
One: Birther crap does absolutely nothing for me. Nothing. It’s right up there with 9-11 truthers and anti-vaccine nonsense - that is, I hear someone spout it and I automatically deduct 30 IQ points.
Two: I think Marco would make a wonderful president. What of it? I think Cruz would be a wonderful president. Rand and Carly? They’d be wonderful presidents. Christie and Kasich? They’d probably do alright too.
There are two people on that ballot I will never vote for: Jeb, because running for president isn’t a birthright; and Trump, because I don’t vote for democrats, liberals, or rich assholes.

Trump is a blank slate. Many of his supporters just put what they want on their "What Trump Means to Me Chalkboard".
A lot like CA voters did with Schwarzenegger.
You are a foolish person if you refuse to listen to conservatives who know Rubio way better than you do. As I already wrote, his lack of citizen parents is just one of his problems.
Even if he were legal to run he has other problems just as bad. He is a liar. He is one of the pocket puppets who works for the highest bidder. He is GOPe inside and out. He has no principles other than make Marco more money.
JEB is a fool but Marco is a lying backstabber. He promised TEA party conservatives that we would never get amnesty with him. Yet the first thing he did was sell his soul to Schmucky Schumer and Mark Zuckerberg who did all they could to pass amnesty.
Didn’t you get tired of the “conservatives love amnesty” ads that aired during Rush Limbaugh’s show every day? He made us sick with his lies. You can’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth because if someone with more money tells him to do something different, he will.
I can tell by your Marco/GOPe love that you’re e/e republican. That’s not conservative at all.
What if:
1. Cruz
2. Rubio
3. Trump
I teach MS rednecks rifle marksmanship and like Trump. Does that make me a lib?
It is a shame that two small states like Iowa and New Hampshire get to carry so much weight in picking the nominee! Why can there not be a national primary election where all states vote on the same day!
It wouldn’t surprise me to see a Rubio/Trump/Cruz finish, or even have Jebbie reemerge, maybe even Ben Carson, iCarly... but ultimately, it means little beyond some delegates, most of whom will get to vote for someone else at the convention because their guy or gal dropped out in February or March.
Cruz has to win in Iowa, and/or NH; Trump just has to finish well. Rubio will probably do okay and be one of the last left standing when Trump rolls into the convention with the votes he needs for the nomination. Rubio is the current Mittwit being pushed as the old safe one, the other possibilities (starting a year or more ago with Jeb) having faded out like a bad fart.
So was George Patton and Curits LeMay. Some times the USA needs a poopyhead.
Then we REALLY will see a massive melt down all over the Web Tuesday am.
BAM! Now that was funny!
