 User ID: 48378360 United States01/27/2016 08:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I bet Trump gets 40%. Rubio comes in 2nd at 25%, Cruz 23%, Rand Paul 10%, the rest in single digits. Rubio has transformed himself back into a Tea Party candidate, after spending the past few years in the Senate voting like a RINO. I give him credit, he's a masterful liar. We'll see how stupid the voters of Iowa really are.

I give him credit, he's a masterful liar. We'll see how stupid the voters of Iowa really are. I've heard people say he's the Hillary equivalent of the republican party. I think he can win (Unlikely)- hell I hope not, but really not a lot of talk and beef about him and could dominate the debate because he's a master bullshitter... |

You' d have thought he was being forced to watch his mother being gangbanged.  This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but with a whimper. |

Quoting: Shiva ascendant You' d have thought he was being forced to watch his mother being gangbanged. Yep, and they are undoubtedly manipulated. My predictions Trump- 30% Cruz- 23% Rubio- 21% Paul- 10% Carson- 5% Huckabee- 4% Bush- 2% Santorum- 2% Kasich- 1% Christie- 1% Fiorina- 1% |
| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 67588110 United States01/27/2016 09:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Iowa voters, about 40% of them, generally make up their minds during the weekend immediately preceding the caucus gatherings. I'm of the opinion that it's still "anything can happen time" regardless of what any of today's polls show. Quoting: Larry D. Croc Not taking sides, just reflecting on how they decide things in Iowa. That's my point. People are taking polls too literally. Hell, It's a stretch but I think Rubio and Paul could shock the world and finish in top 2 (Trump is killing the rallies- and polls may be underestimating him, I doubt he finishes out of top 2) |

Each party has their favored pollsters who are their 'go to guys' when they want to sway public opinion. This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends.

I'd go out and vote for my candidate if there was a hurricane outside. |
