Cruz topples Trump in Iowa, Trump goes berserk

Sparring began with Trump’s “Fox News Sunday” appearance, when he referred to Cruz as “a little bit of a maniac”. “You’re never going to get things done that way”.

“He’ll never get anything done, and that’s the problem with Ted”, Trump said. “I’m leading him by a lot”, Trump said, later adding that he believes Cruz can only maintain his friendly posture for so long.

In fact, I was criticized in the beginning because I get along with Democrats and liberals and Republicans, and conservatives – I get along with everybody”. “Now that’s a question of strength, but it’s also a question of judgment”. I built a multi-, multi-, multi-billion-dollar company. Because I have a much better temperament. I do not assume he is received the suitable judgment.

While Rubio continues to lead the GOP pack, with a 33% chance that he’ll win the nomination in the Prediction Market, Cruz is now a close second at 30% and Trump is third at 27%.

Over the weekend, Trump went ahead in the latest poll from the Des Moines Register newspaper, and also edged ahead of Cruz in a Fox News poll from Iowa.

Cruz, who sees himself as a fellow anti-establishment Republican, has avoided directly attacking Trump for months, reluctant to alienate Trump voters who might view him as an alternative should Trump lose out.

“We have found him to be a man of deep character, a man who we can wholly trust, who has a consistency of convictions, who loves his God, who love his spouse and who loves his family”, Bob Vander Plaats, CEO of The Family Leader, told CBN News. These voters are “less likely to engage in the arduous Iowa caucus voting” and without their votes, Trump’s lead in recent general GOP polls disappears.

The poll was taken between last Sunday and Wednesday, in the thick of Trump’s bombshell call an end to Muslim immigration to the United States.

A Des Moines Register/Bloomberg poll shows Cruz with a ten point lead in Iowa.

What has Cruz rising like this?

Cruz responded to Trump’s jabs with a nod to Flashdance. On Friday, the senator tweeted that he would not be drawn into a “cage match” with his Republican rival. Let Trump throw the swings and keep doing what you have been doing would be my advice.

‘He’s been so nice to me, ‘ Trump gushed.
