I vomited a little in my mouth when I thought what those groupies must look like now. The Grateful Dead groupies, that is.

Hopefully Ted Cruz doesn't do well in the other states and will soon be eliminated.

I hope these lies and attempts to manipulate voters have exposed Cruz for the scumbag that he is. Somehow I doubt it though, the teavangelicals that vote for nutjobs like Cruz always find a way to ignore this kind of stuff and get back to the business of hating gays and wishing for a Christian based theocracy in the US.

Trump would be wise to put Iowa in the rearview mirror and focus on winning in NH and beyond. Why keep voters' attention on Iowa which reminds them that you lost?

Cruz will get all the money he needs to defend against Trump's lawsuit from Monsanto.

You are correct. Each County pays for their party's caucuses including renting the locations, making signage, hosting the event, set up and clean up that day, etc.

It is a HUGE undertaking and there will be no do-overs, even if Trump wants to pay for it.

Ted Cruz did no such thing. You are absolutely making false statement about Ted Cruz.

Cruz' campaign tweeted out to their supporters a STORY FROM CNN, which stated that Carson was not going to NH or SC to campaign after Iowa. That is what was tweeted to the caucus goers supporting Cruz. In that tweet, the Cruz camp suggested that supporters pass along the CNN story and discuss with others at the caucus that they should consider supporting Cruz because he was in this election all the way!

Hey, the decision NOT to caucus for Carson is on the voter, not the messenger. I still caucused for a candidate that never had a single delegate in the 2008 election because I believed in the candidate and wanted him to win. You would not have been able to convince me otherwise.

Nothing that was done by the caucus attendees who support Cruz did anything wrong, other than taking a CNN report and using it to persuade some caucus goers to consider Cruz.

Maybe they should just flip a coin for each precinct. Seems Hilary is super lucky when there is a coin toss in the offing.

So you are accusing CNN of colluding with the Cruz campaign? Because CNN made the report. The Cruz camp just tweeted what CNN reported.
