Five Thirty Eight ^

Posted on 02/05/2016 7:14:10 PM PST by TigerClaws

HOLLIS, N.H. — A candidate is moving up in the New Hampshire polls — but it’s the man who finished third in the Iowa Republican caucuses, Marco Rubio, and not the Iowa winner, Ted Cruz. Below is a comparison of our New Hampshire weighted polling average as it was on Feb. 1, the date of the caucuses, and where it stood as of 2 p.m. today (Feb. 5):

What “Bounce?”

People in Iowa who are way more religious than people in other area of the country (including New Hampshire) pick somebody who is often unacceptable to the rest of the state’s parties..

See Santorum, Hucklebee. Or second place finishers Rev Pat Robertson and Pat Buchanan who ran behind state neighbor Bob Dole.

There was no bounce and and looking for one only allows the MSM to brag about their pick Rubio.

And with the rumors that Jeb's super pacs are about to dump him night mean that they are ready to rally round Rubio to try to keep Cruz/Trump out of it.

The battle is about to heat up.

Any "theft" of momentum is due to all you members in good standing of the GOP Circular Firing Squad, the TDSG (Ted Derangement Syndrome Group) and DNC Useful-Dolts Club. After at least two elections of being snookered out of their strongest candidate, you would think some people would wise up, but no, they just don't. "And that, Virginia, is why the GOP is called the stupid party!" Blehh on you all!

Thanks for your reply.

>>>”GOPe will beat Cruz like a drum”

Perhaps, but he has beat the establishment once before. And he did to a large extent in Iowa.

>>”Cruz can not handle MSM like Trump is doing already

I think he’s done at least a good a job as Trump. More mature not as easy to make a joke as Donald is.
