Set foot in Iowa? Well, maybe now and then, Better Half grew up there and have family there. How about you? Illynoise ain’t Iowa frame of mind-wise.

Who you kidding? Iowa is nothing more than annoying fly-over for Nuevo York big shots. How about you telling us exactly what Donald has previously done for Iowa.

Well, I don’t know what you know about Illinois or Iowa frame-of-mind wise. Actually, We are very similar. The entire midwest is flyover country to POLITICIANS—however, Trump does have real estate in Illinois, so he undoubtedly comes to IL. He is not a politician, he’s a business man—so he goes to where he has business interests...not sure he has many in Iowa—Iowa is primarily agriculture related. Wonder how many times Cruz went to Iowa for something other than politicing—I doubt he ever did.

Actually sadly, Iowa has its very liberal pockets where the universities are—just like Illinois, get outside the cities, and you have conservatives. Like Illinois, Iowa went for Obama for the past 2 presidential elections.

Oh my son went Iowa State, his wife’s family (who I visit annually) lives up by Decorah, and my parents were from Cedar Rapids and were ISU grads, so I know quite a lot about Iowa.

I was at a Rally 2 weeks ago, and Trump mentioned how he has helped Iowans—one example I recall.. was someone losing their farm several years ago, and he saved it from foreclosure. Still in contact with the family. I seem to recall mention of him saving an industry in a small town as well—these were done years ago—with no political intent.

I just find the stereotyping by people who don’t know unfortunate.

They are being cussed right now for being stupid and living like pigs.


ANd the above is another example of the unfortunate stereotyping — You have no proof or source for this—it is just an antagonistic swipe at Trump.

Cruz won Iowa—although now there is question about what was said about Carson quitting at the caucus centers...Trump got 5 delegates, Cruz 6.

We will see how the rest of the primary cycle goes. I wouldn’t gloat too much.
