What a bunch of crap. The guy who is w a y out in front comes in second.
(Comrade Bernie gets 22 delegates… same as Hitlary)
Must be heavy libertarian in Iowa
Ted Cruz, a great GOP candidate. He gets off to a great start. On to New Hampshire where the frontrunners will further hone their platform.
Let’s not get crazy.
We are light years ahead with our frontrunners than we have been for the last 30 years.
Divided we will fail.
Rubio- seriously ????? Close third….. wait till their state is full of illegals….
Oh yeah baby! But it don’t mean squat. I expect big tampering from here on in.
I don’t think I could ever hold my nose hard enough to vote for Cruz.
I’ll try not to mention it again.
BRING BACK DICK!
I don’t think Nixon’s around anymore. Sorry.
🙂
But it still feels great.
Did Trump blast Iowa yet? Waste of time….
How Odd, I would have thought Cruz would have done so much better in Saskatoon, Winnipeg, and Ottawa. What’s that all aboot? Eh?
Establishment, you’re on notice: This is OUR party
Jeez
Mr. Mxyzptlk. We share in common more than the love of pistols. Screw this crap, meet you at the range. I don’t like Cruz. Might have something to do with Magnum. I’ll vote Rubio long before I’ll vote Cruz. But ai will vote for the last man standing on our side. Unlike Magnum.
I’ll hold your nose.
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!
Go Ted!
I’m happy
I’m gonna say this one more time. This election is a freebie for the republican nominee. Let’s make it count and give a true conservative our support.
Cruz and Trump, 1&2, I like that. Rubio made a strong showing, darn it.
Right, go Ted, back to Canada, EH!
No way in hell I’m voting for Cruz. I’ll sit this one out.
I polished my Cruz Truck magnet tonight while watching the sunset on the beach.
I love that magnet. Thank you Joe!
Nobody is seriously considering sitting this out, whether it be Cruz, Trump or Rubio, are they?
Yes, we are that polarized.
No!
Ted Cruz overcomes an unprecedented onslaught of attacks, including a virtual kill order from the governor himself, to get the most votes ever in an Iowa Caucus in an 11-person field. Not only that, Cruz took
on Trump and slayed the dragon.
But it worked out so well with McStain and Romney.
Let’s just say hopefully it’s Trump or Rubio.
Trump supporters show their true colors. They Hate Ted Cruz more than they love the Country. That’s pretty sad.
So, you are finally admitting you will not vote Cruz?
Is that what I said? Answer please.
You’re very welcome, Menderman! I would like to see Cruz and Trump call a truce, I want to go back to running them side by side.
And you are a major contributing factor. Exactly how much bull shit do you think the average guy can endure. Come on, you quote parody sights to promote your infatuation. So you’ve accomplished something. You’ve totally alienated this voter. Run back and tell Teddy. He’ll probably kick your ass and then pray with you.
It seems to me that Trump cut those ties….so sad.
Yes, that is what you said.
By the way I assume you know what’s coming on the 9th.
2 points that I know will be heavily ignored on most “conservative” websites.
1. Cruz and Trump, the anti-establishment candidates pull in 52% of the vote.
2. The Republican caucus had over 160,000 votes. The Democrat caucus had less than 10,000 votes*
Menderman, Can you read? Read it again. In fact reply to me and type what I wrote. You need help.
Gee, I thought “nobody likes Cruz” once they get to know him? Iowa got to know Cruz pretty damned well, and they like him better than they like you, Trump. Okay, I’m through gloating. Oh, wait. If Trump had won, he’d be calling Cruz a “looser,” right now, so…
Trump did congratulate Cruz. I see Trump embracing Cruz before this is over.
I sure hope so. I’d love to beg you for a Trump magnet to go in between my “CRUZ” and “Enough” magnets.
Throw in Carson and Rand Paul and the anti / non-establishment guys had 65% of the vote. Somehow I’m guessing that the GOPe still won’t get the message though.
“Let’s just say hopefully it’s Trump or Rubio.”
^^^^That’s what you said. Am I daft?
Underdog wins!
Now if only the Denver Broncos can do the same this Sunday…
and he did it dissing ethanol! Who woulda thunk that was possible?
The supreme court better rule on Cruz. This clown could really
fuck stuff up.
This might be a big GOPe plot.
I’m not seeing a “I won’t vote for Cruz” in there are you Einstein? Just asking
And yes you are daft. That’s why you like Cruz.
That thoughts crossed my mind
and once again you denigrate Cruz. Your bias is showing.
Oh make no bones about it. I don’t like Cruz. I am bias. And maybe more perceptive than some.
They need them to work the corporate farms.
OK Brad, admit it. You hate Cruz. I Proudly admit Trump sucks donkey schlong and I will never vote for him. Can you proudly announce the same about Cruz or are you a chicken?
Said it before, I voted Romney and didn’t stay home. Don’t know anyone who did but my people still get blamed.
I’m gad it’s Cruz, but would’ve absolutely voted for Trump.
BFH, a humble suggestion: from here on, please perma-ban ALL who say they’re staying home. We should no longer have to hear such pointless noise. Far too much is at stake now…everything, in fact. If there really is still a chance, this is it. Dispense with them — their status is officially now that of trolls.
Just a thought.
PS I’d have suggested the same if Trump came out on top.
There’s going to be a lot of rehash about who did what right and who did what wrong. Trump did great tonight! He spent so incredibly little on the ground than any other candidate and Cruz wound up with only 1 more delegate. Cruz bused ground troops in, filled up empty college housing (“Camp Cruz”) and probably rented vans to pick up caucus goers. Robert Mercer’s and Tony Neugebauer’s money bought him a lot of votes tonight. And if that runs out, there’s more coming from Wall Street. Congratulations on your win, conservatives.
A win for Trump would have been super, but it’s not imperative and if you compare the money spent against the downside, he came out ahead.
I smell a rat. There’s no way Rubio gets 23%.
Cruz, the covert establishment candidate. He’s the Polo to the Marco. Look at his trail, without listening to his song.
Why sit it out? If Trump doesnt win, he could go indie. And with this election, there may be other condidates as well.
If Cruz is last man standing I will hold my nose and vote for preacher boy and hopefully avoid hearing his non stop sermons on TV for the four years he will be president. Yes I will reluctantly vote for Cruz, right the name Magnum on my heavy bag, and the name Mrnderman at the bottom of my toilet. LOL
Except, he will never beat the Democratic candidate. He’s polarizing.
In these recent primaries, it always seems that one candidate or more Shoot Their Wad a little early. I dont know how much money, gravitas, energy, or donors any of them have left after this brawl, and its only the beginning.
Thank you for a football comment!….The wild card is Cam Newton, he has to be contained, but the Broncos have an exceptional defense…The Broncos also have to run the ball, 125 yards rushing and they win if they can shut down Cam just a bit….there, I’m better now….I have purged the political vomit out of my head…Thank you again….
Well done Ted
Well done Donald
Well done Marco.
Now let’s move on and phuck the naysayers!
Want to do something good for that cause you guys? Tone it down and send a cigar to the Killary campaign.
I personally think that either of them (Cruz or Trump) can beat the democrat in November regardless of whether it is Hillary or Bernie (or an “emergency” candidate if Hillary actually is indicted – yes, I’m a dreamer). But for those that say Cruz just can’t beat Hillary, many polls say that he can even if the election were held today.
How bout sending the human humidor with a few cigars?
Yes! He told voters the cold, hard truth instead of pandering to them, and he still won, by gaining their respect. Who’s more like an establishment politician, now?
Both Marco and Maple Leaf Ted have all the money needed at their disposal to take the globalists to the promised land.
Looks like a loss for Trump but as a non-politician in one of his weakest states it’s not a complete loss. For the first time in his life people have actually voted for him. It’s real now.
Cruz had to win Iowa, he’s the “Evangelical” in the race.

Trump says he wants to buy a farm in Iowa; wife says “New Yorlk is vere a vant to stay”
Hillary and Bernie race still turkey-neck-and-turkey-neck
Bubba you got the picture. Send the clunt a cigar with a milk stained blue ribbon on it..
It already is full of illegal shit stains
I agree with Brad, I don’t trust Cruz, I think he’s another Rubio in disguise, Both Rubio and Cruz will allow the illegal aliens to stay in this country, The wall won’t be built between us and Mexico and once again we are left with a politician that’s been bought and paid for by special interest groups. So, please explain to me how that is sooo much better? I can’t wait to read the B.S. your about to post..
What a bunch of crap. The guy who is w a y out in front comes in second.
so ….
Cruz gets 10 delegates
Trump gets 9 delegates
Rubio gets 9 delegates
Carson gets 1 delegate
On To New Hampshire!!!

Good night Menderman. Lots more fun to come
For what it’s worth, Cruz beats Hillary, Trump loses in these polls:
