Hail Mary pass incomplete.

Maybe not to people in Iowa. Thats the bet, anyway.

I hope it fails, but I think I know see some method here, where earlier in the day I only saw it as a rookie mistake.

Like to wager whether Trump carries NY in the General Election?

Cruz technique of self-immolation was perfected last night.

But we may get an encore before Iowa

cross-fingers!

[nopardons]

And he shouldn’t be!
He has had push polls and calls, in Iowa, for about a week 1/2, now, and Trump’s numbers just keep going up in Iowa.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Cruz may have gained Iowa but he handed New York to Trump—He will be their favorite son.

Sorry I’m not a betting man.

But if you like to win you know what to do.

[samtheman]

Cruz was never going to win NY.

NY already elected Hillary once, how many times have they elected Trump?

[Cold Heat]

I don’t believe that Trump even thinks in terms of ideology, and thus would not know a Conservative judge nomination even if advised.

He thinks by using New York Values, or what he believes to be common sense.

Those values are liberal.

“Cruz needs to double down, in the same fashion Trump did on a variety of his statements.”

Exactly. Quayle should have simply said to Bentsen, “if you knew Jack Kennedy so well, you would know that he was for cutting taxes, not raising them.”

[Jim Noble]

“They don’t represent the majority of Americans”

And the funny thing is, every time we nominate one of theirs and get crushed, they don’t learn from experience. There are people here who believe Cruz could actually be elected President.

There are people here who believe, for example, that getting endorsed by Dobson brought Cruz closer to the White House.

How much?

Trump will take NY, NJ, MA, and Illinois.

[RasterMaster]

Trump’s values are saying whatever the LIEberal sheep will lap up....then turn and say the exact opposite if his poll numbers take a nosedive.

[catfish1957]

How much?

We can keep it inexpensive......How about . $25 toward 4Q 2016 Freepathon

[trisham]

Excellent article.

[Jim Noble]

Done.

[SampleMan]

So much for your claims to scholarly attributes.

Weak minds like yours always react so predictably when they are outsmarted.

In your vernacular, it’s being a dumb ass.

[jwalsh07]

Not really. Head to head polling has Cruz beating Trump handily in a two man race. Which basically tells us exactly where those voters will go.

[nopardons]

I'm a CONSERVATIVE and probably have been one far longer than than you have, I've been on this site far longer than you, and as far as being an "idiot" goes, I suggest that you go look into the nearest mirror, to see one.

I don't belong to any union; do you? And I have hated unions all of my life.

Go away kid; you're mentally defective.

[FreeReign]

Thanks for the link. Apparently Trump is the one who initiated tying the phrase NY values to liberal values.

Cruz simply responded to it.

Clever.
