Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com Syndicate this site (XML) Powered by Movable Type	Cruz Wins: Fox Confirms the Decision Desk's Call Could Rubio Overtake Trump for 2nd Place? Trump to speak in 5 minutes. With a lot of the vote now in, it's Trump 24%, Rubio 23%. The Decision Desk has the first call -- they call the GOP side for Ted Cruz. Of course, there are still a lot of votes to be counted. Update: Fox News confirms the Decision Desk's call. Projected turnout on the GOP side is 170,000+ -- which would smash all previous Iowa caucus records (on the GOP side -- in 2008, Obama's big year, the Dems got 220,000). Winning Iowa while opposing ethanol mandates would qualify as a miracle for future Sainthood consideration. pic.twitter.com/71ZVvtHNzY — jimgeraghty (@jimgeraghty) February 2, 2016 This is pretty funny: Early Iowa results REP 29% Punchable Face 25% Solid Gold Dumpster Fire 21% Tracy Flick DEM 51% Pending Indictment 49% Venezuela — Daniel Lin (@DLin71) February 2, 2016 Update: Iowa winnows the field -- Martin O'Malley to suspend his campaign.

She was a law and order girl (from what I recall). Rubio is more of a Sandra Fluke sort of girl, but with a Spanish twist.

Trump's performance matched his Iowa polling level from September-mid January. He didn't bring his recent bounce to the polls. If he manages the same kind of performance the rest of the way he'll be just fine.

There's going to be a lot of establishment donor-class pressure on the weak hands to fold before New Hamster, and to endorse the only remaining shot whom the establishment have: the Rube. El Gobernador still has, what, fifty million in liquid cash on hand? What if the donors come privately to Jeb and tell him, "Ay, compadre, keep the money.

A little worried that the GOP will force Bush, Kasich and Christie out before New Hampshire but considering the latter two have staked their "candidacies" on that state the elites will probably wait until after NH to force their puppets to drop out and back Rubio.

Best possible finish. Cruz + Trump together prove that non Cruz + Trump (GOPe) are Rubio won't crack that ceiling. Cruz's #1 means he has shots at NH and SC.

If a bunch of other folks from Iowa watched the video made with Cruz speaking to the farmer supporting ethanol than it probably changed their mind too. I didn't know much about ethanol and I learned a lot.

Posted by: boulder terlit hobo at February 01, 2016 10:30 PM (6FqZa) 426 Rubio seems to have won the big cities and urban areas. . . Posted by: Ed Anger at February 01, 2016 10:30 PM (RcpcZ) 427 390 So I guess Trumps ground game sucked after all. Yeah, I was thinking earlier that this would be one of those times where ground game didn't matter, but it obviously did.

Posted by: Blanco Basura at February 01, 2016 10:34 PM (YJmuy) 466 Have gone back and forth a bit between Trump and Cruz the last month but admit I was strongly pulling for Trump tonight. Have to give a huge congratulations to Ted Cruz who took a very unfavorable news cycle and media bias in stride to effectively deploy his outstanding organization. Great victory for Ted and his supporters here, congratulations. Now to our friends in Iowa - what in the world were you thinking with Rubio? He's a good looking young guy, he's well spoken...I get it. But you do not. You have resurrected the establishment beast and we are all going to pay for it. The establishment Pols are doing a victory dance like you can't believe tonight, the chamber of commerce checks are being written as we speak. They were worried, they thought this time they might actually be held accountable. Now they know they won't be. Again - huge respect to Cruz but the establishment knows they can beat him now. He has very little chance in New Hampshire (not his fault, just very unfavorable demographics) and the entire political apparatus in SC is in the tank like you can't believe for Rubio. Great win for Ted and good luck to him in the weeks ahead but I fear we are witnessing how Rubio becomes our nominee.

She should be very concerned Bernie came this close. It could possibly be a dire warning of things to come. Then again it's mostly a white vote in Iowa and New Hampshire so who knows? I think NH will be written off as Bernie's home turf. If she gets within 10 points she will claim victory. She is absolutely crushing him in SC polling right now, particularly with black voters who comprise a very large percentage of the Democratic vote. If she rolls him in SC she will likely carry that over into Super Tuesday a few days later where there are also a number of southern states that almost certainly are reflecting the same numbers. If that happens then it's all over. Posted by: Ghost of Lee Atwater at February 01, 2016 10:36 PM (UkUtC) 491 Rubio speaking, celebrating a 3rd place finish, Cruz having sex with his wife offstage.

I'm "working" right now. OK, back to the overemotional, overwrought handwringing about the cornholer state caucuses.

Posted by: CastleP at February 01, 2016 10:44 PM (7+oeE) 554 Yeah.... because everyone looking at the scoreboard at a football game knows that 24 to 23 is a TIE... Posted by: Don Quixote It's a legitimate story. Cruz doing well in a socon state after going aggressively socon at the wire, expected. Surprised some, moi included, because of his recent fade in the polls, but apparently his organization pulled it out. Trump in second in his weakest state -- not as good as a win -- which would have crippled Cruz, but take it and win big in NH next week. Rubio in third almost second -- dangerously close to being a real "not Trump/Cruz" threat and could mean a long primary.

Cruz only had to read a place like this blog or National Review to see going against ethanol is a winner, and (falsely) portrays that "conservative integrity" without really costing him votes. Ethanol is not a top priority even for farmers. The spin that it makes him brave and principled is goofy, especially in other states, but still true in Iowa. Iowa fit Cruz's Jesus rap, which he seemed to have overdone. And "New York Values" probably scored bigger in Iowa than it will from here on. But good to know Cruz will end all government support systems, as promised. No more picking winners in tax code or anything else, including big oil. Obama promised no lobbyists in his administration as well. Yet Ted was for 5x the H-1Bs, and I'm sure that was Zuckerberg approved.

Posted by: Burnt Toast at February 01, 2016 10:49 PM (T78UI) 604 Just 2 thoughts so far.....NH probably goes to Trump, with Cruz second and Rubio third. Does that mean that the press will praise Rubio for his steady hand and consistency, or will they spin it first as a Cruz disaster? Where will Carsons votes go? He's another "outsider" candidate, so honestly I don't think his supporters will go where he tells them, if he even does endorse. 30% to Cruz. 30% to Rubio 40% to Trump. Seems reasonable, and seems like it wouldn't make any difference to the outcome, for the most part. Unless, that 40% goes to Rubio at Trumps' expense. Then it gets interesting. At any rate, Rubio's third place will be spun as a big success, because he did beat the latest polling numbers. Posted by: OneEyedJack at February 01, 2016 10:49 PM (kKHcp) 605 Heh.

For the amount of resources Trump put into Iowa, he did well. Cruz had a great ground game. And I think Rubio is turning into the consensus GOPe pick.

Posted by: Brother Cavil, hither and yon at February 01, 2016 10:55 PM (m9V0o) 669 Actually I don't think Trump sounded down at all - he rightfully pointed out NH and SC as the next battleground.

Posted by: chique testing testing at February 01, 2016 10:57 PM (uz/Pv) 689 Iowa was by far Trump's weakest state in the early polling. He wasn't depending on a victory there to launch his campaign. If he had gotten the win anyway it could have been an early knockout blow. As it is, the game goes on and he's still looking good in the polls. I'm not sure why people thought he was going to melt down today. You don't maintain a consistent public personality like he does without at least a little bit of self-awareness.

They nearly allowed Rubio to go hey diddle diddle right up the middle, shades of McCain in 08. Cruz has very little shot in NH and is actually well served by a Trump victory there. He should set up camp in SC and may the best man win. It won't be easy to beat Rubio there as he will have the entire GOP apparatus and Governor behind him. Best hope is that Bush stays in to split that vote but pressure will be intense on Bush to drop out in favor of Rubio after NH. Posted by: CastleP at February 01, 2016 11:02 PM (7+oeE) 722 Oh gag me.

Posted by: weft cut-loop at February 01, 2016 11:03 PM (wCF3s) No, he likes Cruz a lot and in fact scolded Trump when he said that everyone hated Cruz. I know he doesn't endorse during the primaries, but I suspect that he would votr for Cruz. The problem is that he just keeps on talking about Trump. It's not that he is telling people to vote for him. I think he's just very fascinated by his run, probably because Trump has shown how to beat the media, something very close to Rush's heart and Republicans have failed at for so long. It just got too much for me. Posted by: chique testing testing at February 01, 2016 11:09 PM (uz/Pv) 768 It's not going to be Jeb or Kasich.. It's going to be Cruz, Trump or Rubio.

He didn't go against Colin Powell in the mid 1990s when he looked like he'd run because, said Rush, "I'm a capitalist - competition is always good". Rush did however mock McCain in 2000 when he ran against Dubya. At the time I wondered why. I guess Rush didn't know Powell like we know him now, and did know McCain like we know him now.

Posted by: avi at February 01, 2016 11:11 PM (fijdj) 780 This was not the result we Trump Supporters had hoped for. But keep in mind several things. First, it appears that Trump made a strategic error in opting out of the last debate. It wasn't clear at the time (at least not to me) that this was a bad move. Now it is. Second, Trump came in a respectable (not distant) second in Iowa WITHOUT implementing the tried, true, and traditional highly organized "Ground Game" approach that tends to prove so invaluable in that particular caucus State. Trump's solid placing was born of pure enthusiasm. Third - and Nasty Trump Haters, y'all take special note here - Donald Trump showed nothing but graciousness despite failing to take first place. He was gracious to the folks of Iowa. And he was gracious and congratulatory to "Ted". Point being: The Don is not as tactless as many like like to fantasize. Fourth, Trump didn't pretend like this was not a disappointment. He knows he can't win by not facing facts or by putting on a phony face. He's a realist who looks at the situation and makes course corrections. Unfortunately, Trump won't be running the tables. But I'd handicap it as Trump still being at at-least 50% to win the nomination. Now on to New Hampshire. Posted by: Trump Super Fan at February 01, 2016 11:11 PM (UCC3Q) 781 I also suspect that anytime Rush is mentioned in the media, he can't help talking about it. Posted by: chique testing testing at February 01, 2016 11:11 PM (uz/Pv) 782 The problem is that he just keeps on talking about Trump. It's not that he is telling people to vote for him.

It just got too much for me. Posted by: chique testing testing at February 01, 2016 11:09 PM (uz/Pv) Right. Rush has been saying, for 20+ years now, that you need to not accept the media premise, smile, not apologize, and be confident and unapologetic in your beliefs. Whatever you think about Trump -- he fits that bill. All Rush is doing in talking about Trump is saying, "hey guys --- see? This fucking model can work. Why do you have to act like such pussies?"

Being veep is usually taken to mean having a leg up when the Pres is term-limited out. Trump is old enough that after serving 8 years as Cruz' veep, he'd be of an age that simply surviving the next four years would be questionable, regardless of his health. But if Cruz wins all the marbles, I'd like to see him give Trump an important post in his administration. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at February 01, 2016 11:14 PM (Z8fuk) 801 can Jeb just disappear?

Posted by: Eli Cash at February 01, 2016 11:21 PM (Dc/ui) Talk like that is going to make navycopjoe and jwest come after you. For different reasons though. Posted by: Buzzion at February 01, 2016 11:23 PM (8+Fdn) 850 People dismiss it... but The Fuckin Organizer used "preachin" to sway people. I'm just not convinced Cruz A Tron is the sophist Fuckin O is. Posted by: Hillbillyking at February 01, 2016 11:24 PM (0zhCI) 851 He trashed both parties. He's brave.

Posted by: JackStraw at February 01, 2016 11:25 PM (/tuJf) 855 Cruz - bag the W and move on. This speech is a bit much. Posted by: Eli Cash at February 01, 2016 11:25 PM (Dc/ui) 856 Hope the GOPe is having to change their underdrawers after tonight's results.

Taking a poll of the population on their opinions of the both of them it would probably look pretty smart to trash them. Posted by: Buzzion at February 01, 2016 11:26 PM (8+Fdn) 858 "And now the preacher talk just ruins it for me" Not watching, but it can get a bit much. Yeah, we get it. Move on. Posted by: Ricardo Kill at February 01, 2016 11:26 PM (ayzCq) 859 There is a Christian uprising, or maybe I just seem to be noticing it more. Perhaps because of the ME invasion, the refugees, and the brutal hunting and destruction of the Christian faith across the world. He might just be riding the right wave to the WH.

If you arrest people as spies, of course you're going to seize any recording/comms devices they might carry. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at February 01, 2016 11:28 PM (Z8fuk) 862 Fucking CNN just dumped Cruz for The Felon. Posted by: Weirddave at February 01, 2016 11:28 PM (hOD4w) 863 Eli @855, Cruz is still trying to develop his ability to connect with crowds via retail politics, etc. I'd actually like to see him accomplish this because he could well become the nominee, and he's my second choice. Posted by: Trump Super Fan at February 01, 2016 11:28 PM (UCC3Q) 864 I don't know. Taking a poll of the population on their opinions of the both of them it would probably look pretty smart to trash them. Posted by: Buzzion at February 01, 2016 11:26 PM (8+Fdn) yes, that's why he did it, but still, he won't hold back anything - he gets it, and he's coming out swinging Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 01, 2016 11:29 PM (qCMvj) 865 Ted, I love you man but cool it about the prayer and Christian talk. You won the Iowa caucus not the election. Posted by: IC at February 01, 2016 11:30 PM (+3RH+) 866 Rubio pulled the religious talk a lot more in his speech than Cruz did I think. Posted by: Buzzion at February 01, 2016 11:30 PM (8+Fdn) 867 Trumps being pretty gracious. Probably will piss off all his haters even more. No way, Buzzion. I'm sure they'll be apologizing to show they're at least as classy as Donal is. Posted by: andycanuck at February 01, 2016 11:30 PM (WOyz5) 868 Cruzatronic Master of Love, Baby. Posted by: eman at February 01, 2016 11:30 PM (MQEz6) 869 He might just be riding the right wave to the WH.

Posted by: Christopher Taylor at February 01, 2016 11:31 PM (39g3+) 870 No way, Buzzion. I'm sure they'll be apologizing to show they're at least as classy as Donal is. Posted by: andycanuck at February 01, 2016 11:30 PM (WOyz5) Heh, Andy. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at February 01, 2016 11:32 PM (Z8fuk) 871 speech too long take the win and go home it's only one state, so far a good get, but it ain't over Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 01, 2016 11:32 PM (qCMvj) 872 oh - he gave Beck credit and Rick Perry Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 01, 2016 11:32 PM (qCMvj) 873 I think Bill's about to start drooling.

Posted by: Country Singer at February 01, 2016 11:33 PM (GUBah) 874 speech too long take the win and go home it's only one state, so far a good get, but it ain't over Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 01, 2016 11:32 PM (qCMvj) (Jump to top of page) IDK, it's free press, I think he's hoping others are listening that might be undecided. I think it's important to take advantage of the moment. It was gracious. Posted by: spypeach at February 01, 2016 11:34 PM (nyYhO) 875 I said good for Cruz, but on to the next Cruz wakes up and Trump is still way ahead in NH and SC and beyond. Good news is that actual voters have confirmed polls that 2/3rds of likely Republican voters hate the GOPe. We'll hear talk of Rubio momentum but it's BS. He's far behind in the upcoming states, especially in his home state of Florida. There is no path for a GOPe nominee without the Establishment fcking with the process in Cleveland Posted by: Ignoramus at February 01, 2016 11:34 PM (rs5De) 876 Geez Ted, wrap this shit up. Good on you for winning, but your campaign manager should have dragged you back in about 10 minutes ago. Posted by: fightwinger at February 01, 2016 11:34 PM (sUlQg) 877 he brought up the Reagan Democrats wow Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 01, 2016 11:34 PM (qCMvj) 878 It's as though Rubio and Ted think they have won the election or something. And pet peeve, at least be gracious enough to congratulate all the other candidates as well. Posted by: IC at February 01, 2016 11:34 PM (+3RH+) 879 Preacher talk. Lordy. Posted by: IC at February 01, 2016 11:35 PM (+3RH+) 880 peach @874, I agree. Cruz should take advantage of this free press. And like I said, I think he needs to develop these chops. The part just now where he thanked his father was truly touching and beautiful. Posted by: Trump Super Fan at February 01, 2016 11:37 PM (UCC3Q) 881 did he say Dunkin' Donuts? Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 01, 2016 11:37 PM (qCMvj) 882 So, no Jeb! 2016 lunch box? Posted by: eman at February 01, 2016 11:37 PM (MQEz6) 883 "But if Rubio manages to get it, I'll hold my nose, close my eyes, and cast my vote for him." nope, not me, I'm done with that crap... Posted by: Shoey at February 01, 2016 11:38 PM (vA94g) 884 perhaps Ted is trying to kill two birds with one stone by stretching this speech nto next week's victory speech. Posted by: serious cat at February 01, 2016 11:38 PM (ADIwO) 885 Ignoramus @875, Amen to that! I still strongly believe that Rubio is an extreme longshot to the nomination. Posted by: Trump Super Fan at February 01, 2016 11:39 PM (UCC3Q) 886 boom Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 01, 2016 11:39 PM (qCMvj) 887 oh, he's rolling now Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 01, 2016 11:40 PM (qCMvj) 888 883: I agree. Rubio means my vote goes to either the Libertarian or Constitutional candidate. Posted by: rabidfox at February 01, 2016 11:40 PM (EW9tX) 889 I just want Trump to get off Cruz's ass and go after the real enemy* That fooker, the Pope!!!! Posted by: shinhead o'connor at February 01, 2016 11:40 PM (WOyz5) 890 So Jeb is dead, dead, dead? Then no more Begonia? That in and of itself is something to be grateful for. Posted by: angela urkel at February 01, 2016 11:40 PM (QMf3F) 891 I like the preachy. It's a reminder of where we came from, our founding. Posted by: Ralph at February 01, 2016 11:41 PM (Ok9RO) 892 nope, not me, I'm done with that crap... Yeah I have had enough of it for a lifetime. Conservatives have lined up to vote for regrettable candidates for seven presidential elections in a row. The only one that I felt any confidence in was 2004 because of the war, but the rest, I just couldn't enjoy voting for. But Dole? McCain? Romney? Are they serious? Enough. Posted by: Christopher Taylor at February 01, 2016 11:41 PM (39g3+) 893 Shoey @883, I respect your position on that, Shoey. - I feel _almost_ that strongly about Jeb. Nowadays, I try never to fault anyone for who they choose to vote for. Especially because both my sweet Mom and beloved girlfriend will probably be voting for Hillary. (Blinded by ideology, they just don't see how evil she is.) Posted by: Trump Super Fan at February 01, 2016 11:41 PM (UCC3Q) 894 Shinhead @889, That was too fucking funny! Eyes tearing. Nothing compares to you, babe. Posted by: Trump Super Fan at February 01, 2016 11:43 PM (UCC3Q) 895 Wow, reps give the presidency away again. Say Hello to Madame president Clinton Posted by: lousagirl at February 01, 2016 11:44 PM (KW9Th) 896 Democrats 101% of votes in; Waiting for the `66 Chevy. Posted by: Ralph at February 01, 2016 11:45 PM (Ok9RO) 897 Santorum, Huckabee, Gilmore, and Jeb all should be out of the race at this point but I bet most if not all of them hang on at least one more state. Posted by: Christopher Taylor at February 01, 2016 11:45 PM (39g3+) 898 Who would Cruz name as a running mate? Posted by: OldDominionMom at February 01, 2016 11:45 PM (GzDYP) 899 Watching the speeches, or some of them and notice that Fox carries them all in full, except for Hillary who chose to speak at the same time as Cruz. This was interesting because CNN and MSNBC both covered Hillary's speech in its entirety. MSNBC makes sense but CNN claims to be non-partisan. Even after Hillary was done, they didn't cut back to Cruz but rather commercials followed by commentary. Commentary with an empty stage in the background and, "Waiting for speech by Bernie Sanders" on the screen. Posted by: wodun at February 01, 2016 11:46 PM (DD0s8) 900 oh my Clinton might lose tonight even HQ's DD is tightening up Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 01, 2016 11:47 PM (qCMvj) 901 I wouldn't be surprised if Sanders did beat Hillary, or it was too tight to call. She's incredibly unlikable and Sanders is the only real alternative for Democrat voters who refuse to go with any other party. Posted by: Christopher Taylor at February 01, 2016 11:49 PM (39g3+) 902 flip over to the ONT Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 01, 2016 11:50 PM (qCMvj) 903 Mom @898, I hate to say it, but if either Cruz or Trump wins the nomination (which I still strongly believe is very likely), I think an Establishment candidate will have to be chosen to unite the party. Reagan did it in 80'. That being the likely case, I guess I'd have to say either of them ought to pick [WINCES] Senator Rubio. Posted by: Trump Super Fan at February 01, 2016 11:50 PM (UCC3Q) 904 Even after Hillary was done, they didn't cut back to Cruz but rather commercials followed by commentary. Commentary with an empty stage in the background and, "Waiting for speech by Bernie Sanders" on the screen. Yeah well, Clinton News Network, what do you expect? They aren't giving Cruz any air. Posted by: Christopher Taylor at February 01, 2016 11:50 PM (39g3+) 905 Nothing compares to you, babe. Thank you, you white, hetrodox, privileged bastard!!!1!!! Posted by: shinhead o'connor at February 01, 2016 11:52 PM (WOyz5) 906 Hey Trump cult! What happened to your invincible screwball? Where are Wethepeople!? Know what? Feed that idiot. He's history.

Especially because both my sweet Mom and beloved girlfriend will probably be voting for Hillary. (Blinded by ideology, they just don't see how evil she is.) Posted by: Trump Super Fan Well it is quite admirable of you that you do not fault them for voting for the Hildebeest. But! Have you ever considered trying, ever so graciously, to correct them? Like pointing out that most of the women groped on New Year's in Cologne probably voted for Merkel and Reker, thinking, "they haz vagina! So they will givd me preferential treatment, look out for me, protect me!" Nah, they sold you out. They don't give a shit about you, they dropped you into a cage of apes so you will be torn to shreds. You could point out that Hillz is cut from the same cloth. Posted by: angela urkel at February 01, 2016 11:59 PM (QMf3F) 911 Trump is the Comeback Kid, yo. Posted by: eman at February 02, 2016 12:03 AM (MQEz6) 912 Wow, Trump's a yuge loser.

Posted by: Shoey Damn straight. Just as soon vote for "Venezuela" Sanders. We have enough mealy-mouthed, backstabbing fucks to deal with.

Posted by: weft cut-loop at February 02, 2016 02:11 AM (wCF3s) 918 Imagine if the number 1 and 3 finishers in a Democrat primary were Hispanic.
