If you think Trump is “beating” Cruz in Iowa, you know very little about the caucuses. Could it happen? Sure, just like you or I could win the Powerball. Will it? Not very likely, unless 2016 is unlike every year since 1972.

'unless 2016 is unlike every year since 1972."

Nailed it.

Has anything about this election been like any of the others? The momentum is clearly on Trump’s side at the moment and there was an article yesterday about how Trump’s ‘ground game’ (that everyone said he didn’t have) suddenly might be bigger than Cruz’.

The fact that someone felt the need to write an article like this one indicates serious problems with Cruz. I know you don’t want to hear that and I wouldn’t either if it had been an article about Fred Thompson back in the day, but it’s true.

By that same token Iowa often chooses the evangelical pick which is not a harbinger much recently

New Hampshire choice however is important

And Trump is way out front

The fact Trump draws crowds in Iowa that he does and most polls now show him ahead at least indicates he has some Mighty Mo there

I don’t buy the logic that if his crowds are 5-10 times those of his opponents that he won’t caucus good on a cold winter nite as well because of party seriousness or groundwork and all that

A high caucus turnout which this is shaping up to be indicates Trump has fans in Iowa

If I’m wrong

Whip me

Beat me

And make me write bad checks
