If crowds mean anything Trump has an advantage.

Iowa is such an overated primary, Huck and Santorum won, didn’t predict anything.

Its a religious primary who is holier than the next guy.

I suppose Cruz has an advantage being the son of a preacher.

So you know the heart of all the religious voters in Iowa; Jesus is that you?

If that’s the case, Cruz should be running away with it, should he? But, he’s not. Cautionary tale.

Iowa is such an overated primary

Iowa, a median state in area and population (we've slipped a couple spots but used to be 25th in both), a purple state that can swing in any direction electing liberals, moderates and conservatives, where candidates have to put in a lot of work to get voters to really know them because it's about the size limit for practical full state retail politics, where only the most motivated voters show up is not a good choice? But New Hampshire, a much smaller state dominated by the Boston media market is suitable for pruning the field? Or South Carolina, so swaggeringly conservative it foists Lindsay Graham on the country is a good choice to start pruning the field? The message out of Iowa the past two cycles was that a more conservative choice was needed; it picked what was perceived as the most conservative choice available each time, which sadly were Huck and Rick. They were conservative... on what they wanted to talk about. The country instead picked the most liberal 'viable' candidates available who flopped in the general. This time we have real conservative options. Maybe the country ought to listen to Iowa for a change.

Rubio gets the bartenders vote. Kasick gets the postal vote.

I’m a Cruz supporter but I was kinda leaning to Trump because I thought he could win the general easier.

Now, I’m not so sure. As much as we love Trump, he engenders real hatred in a lot of people.

I think either of them could beat the aging and damaged abuela.
