"Ted Cruz suffered a one-two gut punch Tuesday in Iowa, a state considered friendly territory for the Texas senator.
First came the anti-endorsement from the state's popular and longest-serving governor, Republican Terry Branstad, who said, "It would be a big mistake" for Iowans to support Cruz. Branstad has pledged not to endorse a candidate before the Feb. 1 caucuses and tends to stay above the fray in his state, but he and his family have taken particular issue with Cruz for his call to end federal ethanol subsidies that are integral to the state's corn industry.
Then came the mother lode: an in-person endorsement of archrival Donald Trump from Ms. Rogue herself.
Sarah Palin flew from Alaska to Iowa State University in Ames on Tuesday to support the billionaire businessman at a rally and is slated to campaign for him in the state on Wednesday. In announcing the endorsement of the former vice presidential candidate, who has been a Tea Party darling and anti-establishment activist in the intervening years, Trump took a dig at Cruz.
In a statement, Trump quoted Ted Cruz praising Palin: "She knows how to pick winners."...."
It was a 'gouge' man. Don't you get that? Don't you understand? A gouge from Trump to Cruz quoting his own words.... sheesh, got some real dull boys here....
Yea, I know. He's part of the herd that has the REAL problem with Jews, but they don't see it that way. Any perceived bashing of their Golden Calf, real or imagined, sets them off like a car alarm.
I'd say that the wager should be along the lines of a confession. Whoever has made the wrong prediction for Iowa should post and admission:"I was presumptuous. You have been right."
