Trump, Cruz in virtual tie in Iowa

“Ted Cruz can’t.’ I was kind of surprised by that”, Limbaugh added later. The only question is when the voters will move their support, and who they will move it to.

“I don’t think he is qualified to be president”, Trump said on “Fox News Sunday”.

Trump and Cruz have been getting along for months, and that has protected the senator from the harsh criticism the businessman has flung against other opponents. “And instead of learning those lessons, you have candidates like Cruz and Trump who are doing the exact opposite”.

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said Monday that Trump’s surge of support may be do to his forceful response to the Islamic terror attacks December 2 in San Bernardino, California.

“I agree with him, mostly”, said Greg Spearman, 46, who owns an electrical firm in Greer.

While the national polling shows significant volatility, the Iowa poll results show even greater variation from poll to poll.

It is expected that their quarrel is about to intensify as it has been revealed in the latest Des Moines Register/Bloomberg News poll that Cruz is ahead of Trump in Iowa. While Sen. Cruz is technically part of the establishment, he is considered a firebrand – much like the outsiders – and “some wonder if it could be Cruz that emerges as the compromise candidate”, CNN reported.

But does Cruz have a path to the nomination?

But Cruz has some key fundamentals on his side. Bush, Rubio and Cruz have been roughly steady in the Granite State lately. Cruz is very unpopular among his colleagues in Washington. “I think I’m winning in Iowa”, he said. “You don’t get the whole picture”.

First up is Iowa on February 1, where he’s now leading the pack. I mean, that’s a huge mistake. “The Republicans in control of the party now are all under obligations to their donors”, says Roy Sousley, a disabled 60-year-old in Missouri. You look, she was truly, if not ‘the, ‘ one of the worst secretary of states in the history of the country. Not to mention, Cruz won a tough primary and was overwhelmingly elected in Texas, an anchor Republican state.

The rare detente between two Republican presidential candidates competing for conservative voters appears to be strained, if not over. If Cruz says no, the Donald says, what is Sen.

Of course, others could easily spoil that. Note: Despite his standing in the polls, I discount the notion that Ben Carson will be either the frontrunner or the challenger. Marco Rubio, at 10%.

Rubio noted that he lived in the Las Vegas area as a child, and he still has more family here than he does in Miami. Of course, there’s his home state of Florida as well – another big prize, with 99 delegates that will be awarded on a winner-take-all basis on March 15. He’s also been campaigning consistently in the South.
