You really don't get how hard it is to predict Iowa correctly and what the difference is when it's a caucus and a vote, do you? You really don't get why the polls were relatively accurate in New Hampshire, do you?

No. And no again. You clearly don't.

You also clearly can't read. I'm not saying things can't change, but you're a fool to start saying (like this author) that Cruz is the front runner or the favorite.

Sorry, that's the truth. Pretend all you want, that's simply the truth.

No, you just don’t want to admit that despite Trump’s boasts about his huge win to come in Iowa and the polls that claimed he would...it turned out the only real conservative who was the only candidate to oppose ethanol subsidies edged him out. The polls were off in New Hampshire having Trump down further than he was just as it failed on the second and third place predictions. You’re the fool if you don’t see the advantage Ted Cruz has in South Carolina and many other primary states with more evangelical voters than Iowa and a ground game that rivals what the republicans had in the 2004 election. Your blind support for a New York Democrat playing conservative will be forced back to reality. You’re side doesn’t seem to want to wait for the voters to speak instead preferring to trumpet his coronation. At any rate, I don’t really care if you downplay or underestimate Ted Cruz so long as when he carries the state, and others, you get behind the nominee.

I am amazed, unless its someones first election cycle, they are just beyond ignorant if they think IA is ever remotely accurate.. Its always off by a country mile... ALWAYS. Anyone citing IA polling as an argument for ANYTHING is ill informed or completely inexperienced.

To then supposition that because IA polls are inaccurate that others will be defacto is flat out nonsense.

Anyone claiming Cruz is the front runner right now, is living on emotion, not reality. Only state I’ve seen where he is leading is TX, his home state, and even there his lead is single digits... in ever other state that I’ve seen polling out of, he’s behind Trump and most of them by 10+ points. To claim Cruz is the FrontRunner when faced with those data points show a “willful suspension of disbelief”... which makes me wonder why they aren’t supporting Hillary since they are living her line from the 2008 election cycle.

Seriously, I am not attacking Cruz here, but there is just no way you can make an argument that he’s the front runner, will he do better in the south, absolutely he will.. but the idea he’s on the verge of winning it all is just not supported by the facts.
