IOWA CAUCUS RESULTS

[PopeyesPappy]

Yes I think Cruz is a bigger threat than Trump, but not by a lot and mostly because I think he has a better shot at winning the general election.

I heard this morning, on KQED, Bernie referred to as "the Anti-Trump." Sounds about right to me.

So you guys do not think Cruz is more dangerous than Trump?

There was this news on a channel (cnnturk) showing kids from Iowa, answering questions about the election and the candidates. It was so cute and funny.

E:That was supposed to be cnn turk.

Cruz is a fucking nightmare, but he has WAY less of a chance to win a general election than Trump. I'm going to invoke Godwin and say this about Trump: he's like Hitler. He has horrid ideas, but he knows how to sell them. Cruz? He's a robot trying to appear human, and failing badly. Cruz won Iowa because of the evangelicals, but I doubt that would be enough of a push in the general election.

The best part about Trump losing Iowa was watching him be butthurt about it.  He does have a point that Cruz's campaign has been sending out misleading leaflets, but that's pretty much the GOP norm at this point.  I'd be surprised if Jeb Bush doesn't "find" a stack of ballots written in crayon that swing the vote in his favor in Florida.
