Cruz beats Trump in Iowa

[Pondlife]

Phew!

That's assuming Iowa is a bellwether for the rest of the states. Might as well place bets with your local bookie on that one!

Phew!

Is it really a Phew moment when the alternative is Cruz ?

[VectraMan]

I'd vote for Penelope Cruz any day.

Depends on which party you're planning to vote for ;-)

Cruz could be worse than Trump, he just hasn't said anything too bad yet.

Rubio only 1% off Trump is good news for the more moderate Republicans, as he would be the biggest challenge to Clinton.

Oh yeah, he's the God botherer. Just a different sort of crazy than Trump I suppose.

I'm voting for Hilary, but would Mitch?

Phew!

I can only assume you're not familiar with Cruz

He's worse than Trump in about every possible way, other than self-promotion. Far more hardline, totally unable to compromise on anything, no personal relationships to speak of in DC (and I appreciate he's on an anti-establishment ticket, but he's also a Senator FFS). He always talks as though delivering a sermon. Total fruit loop.

I get that Cruz is a tea party fruit loop. I'm happy because Trump was turning the whole thing into Pigeon Chess

Trump may end up being as good as whomever his running mate is as he's the most impeachable candidate in a generation.
