We should be so lucky. A 25% reduction is a tremendous start. | |||

Government employees aren’t going to quit if Trump is elected any more than all the leftists who threatened (promised?) to leave the US will do so. Pink unicorns will fly out of my butt before that happens. And the ACA has gone too far even in its fundamentally flawed state for it to be simply repealed. If anyone who is opposed to it is elected, at best they will have to try to figure out a way to correct its most egregious features. You can lead a horse to water, and if you hold his head under long enough, you won’t have to put up with his hotel sierra any more. ► 6.4/93.6 “Most men … can seldom accept the simplest and most obvious truth if it … would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions … which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabrics of their lives.” — Leo Tolstoy | |||

Nearly a 3-way tie, with about 3% or less difference between Cruz, Trump, and Rubio. Looks like Cruz will win Iowa, but not at all decisively. I was hoping for something more one sided, on either side. | |||

Well, he won by 4% in a race all the polls showed he was supposed to lose. It's interesting there was higher than expected turnout, but it went to him instead of Trump. He really has a good ground game. All it means is Cruz is alive in the race and the discussion can continue. I wish Rubio didn't surge as much as he did because all we'll hear now is Rubio Rubio Rubio. At the end of the day we are where we were when we woke up. Trump is the favorite and Cruz and Rubio are the only other two contenders. I'd like to see a few more people drop out. | |||

I think we will see most of the conventional Republicans converge behind Rubio now that he's the last one standing (of the "mainstream" Republicans). I personally like Cruz better than either of the other two primary winners, but between being hated by his own party, and Trump's money, he's gonna be squeezed pretty hard. ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

Not too much, really. It shows that Republicans in Iowa are nearly evenly split...and it serves to send several others home, and to remind us things are far from over and done. | |||

Cursed be he who moves my bones! |
I thought Trump gave a pitch-perfect speech. He even seemed humbled by the process. I imagine having your first real vote, in a presidential race no less, and having real people turn out to vote for you must be a very touching experience. | |||

You know this is just bullshit. Recall the celebrities that said they'd leave the country if Bush was re-elected? Not a single one of the worthless bastards did. Thanks, Sap | |||

If you could guarantee that 100%, I would be hopping on the Trump bandwagon in an instant. But the type of people who would say they would quit would never give up a .gov job. | |||

^^^This. A win by that percentage in November would be called a "landslide". Mr. Trump didn't show as well as he expected to. This shows that enough conservatives see through his smoke screen to deny a pro-universal health care, pro-aborton, luke-warm Second Amendment supporter the Republican nomination. Thanks, Sap | |||

I have heard several people mention that Rubio's hopes now lie in New Hampshire, and that Cruz isn't expected to do well there. Reportedly Huckabee's out, and it is well known that he hates Cruz, so I expect he will throw his support to Rubio. That means, for Trump to do well, he's actually got to go after Rubio rather than Cruz in New Hampshire. To do so will dilute votes between the other establishment candidates - Christie, Jeb, Kasich. Also don't forget that Cruz is leading by a large margin in Texas, which holds a lot of delegates. It's interesting to watch. Phone's ringing, Dude. | |||

Ben Carson should go back to the operating room. His first operation should be to make us a composite candidate. Ted Cruz's brain Donald Trump's aggression Marco Rubio's smooth delivery | |||

The fact that Cruz shit ALL OVER ethanol subsidies in the corn capital of the world and still won is the most impressive thing I saw yesterday. The most depressing is that the other side split the vote 50/50 between an avowed socialist and a felon. Trump was much more gracious in his speech than I expected. If he maintains that humble of an attitude for the rest of the way, he'll pick up a lot of steam. _________________________________________ I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew... | |||

You need to think about this for a minute. It's great that a Clinton can't even beat an avowed socialist prune who wants to impose 20 trillion dollars worth of taxes on American citizens. It shouldn't have even been close, and yet, it was a virtual tie. Bad news for the disgusting harpy, and good news for us. | |||

| I have lived the greatest adventure |
Yes, I'm sure we'll see a much humbler Trump now.  Phone's ringing, Dude. | |||

The last time I felt good about Clinton losing to a socialist wack a doo, we wound up with 8 years of Obama. It was merely an observation on how effed up that segment of the population is. _________________________________________ I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew... | |||

That speech last night was the most likable he's been, to me personally at least. _________________________________________ I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew... | |||

That would be great!"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Wonder why, this is the most protected class of workers in the U.S. !! Talking to others throughout the day in rural Iowa (BTW I am an independent so could not participate in the caucuses), Cruz or Rubio did not come up, Trump did. Most liked what he was doing, annoying the system, but they were unsure of him, because he was not a traditional career politician, which shows how broken the system is! BTW, learned Republican caucuses are different than democrat. Republicans show up and vote on a piece of paper/ ballot, Democrats meet, talk/caucus, caucus/talk, try to reach consensus. This was from the head of my county Republican committee. Jim | |||
