Donald Trump's Iowa face plant was utterly predictable


I can't wait until he takes his ball and goes home!
You probably should really rethink links like this before posting them in the future. Trump isnt really that far behind, and even Trump said he wanted to win Iowa, but wouldnt be surprised if he didnt given he was only up a few points in the poll..

By this time next week, people like you will feel like people like me felt after the moron got elected that we currently have, not once.. but twice..

Could it be that the percentage of democrats who voted is about the same as the percentage of republicans who voted? Perhaps, there are fewer democrats than republicans in Iowa?

How does coming in a close second, translate into a face plant? I cannot stand Cruz, and others can't either. I'm not saying that Trump is my candidate, but he's not out yet.

It will be interesting to see what happens in New Hampshire and South Carolina.

If Trump does not take the #1 spot in in at least one of those states we can say his star is falling.

180k Republican voters, 170k Democratic voters
That only adds up to 20% of Iowa's 1.6 million registered voters.

The real miracle of the night came on the Democrat side. Hillary Clinton won all six coin tosses. Now that is some campaign magic there.

Hmmm... since I have only 'created' a whole freaking '3' Frump threads, Y-O-U must have a real
problem!


You do know that I created the Benghazi film poll thread, right?

So the 'Frump' is not the only lying creep that I detest!

How the heck is second place a face plant? What do you call third, fourth, and everything on down? Should we just declare Cruz the nominee after one small state? No way!
