Cruz isn't likely to win the nomination anyway. I do think it would be a good idea to get this settled. I don't think he's a natural born citizen myself, but then I'm not the SC, LOL.

Yeah he should get it decided. Trump is actually right about that. Then we'll all know for later on.

Cruz is there to muck things up for Trump. Muddy the waters enough and the establishment can bring home one of their boys in a brokered convention.

If Trump runs the table or even comes close, I don't think the establishment will dare anoint someone else. Voters are pee oh'd enough with the Repub establishment as it is.

Looks like Cruz is going to pull out Iowa. All I can say is remember Huckabee and Santorum from yesteryear.

I agree. IMO, it is between Trump and Rubio now.

Trump is sulking. Commentators saying this is the wrong way to go. Lack of political experience. They say he needs to get out and spin the defeat, get some airtime.

Hucka be goin' home.

Iowa is worthless for republicans for picking winners.

They are only interested in the most EXTREMIST that meets their far right wing Christian religious base.

I used to think Rubio was a real threat to Hillary.

But the more I hear him, the more he looks like an annoying, petulant little boy way out of his league.

He sounds so Fox News with his Benghazi and Hillary go to jail BS.

So I hope they nominate Rubio now.

But Cruz would be even easier to beat. Such a creep.

^^^ You're right. Iowa hasn't picked the winner in a long time. Even Reagan lost Iowa.

Rubio will beat Hillary, if she has not been indicted yet. He is intelligent, much more personable, young, handsome and not tainted by years of scandals.

Hillary is OLD news.

He is young. Forgetting the number, he APPEARS too young. He has JUST OK looks but really not very handsome. People just say that compared to the other horrible looking males running. He's certainly not SEXY or GLAMOROUS. A republican JFK he's not. Trust me on that.

Gotta laugh. Private school-educated, Princeton and Harvard grad Ted Cruz, who used his Investment Banker wife's contacts to sleaze a loan from Goldman Sachs, says to Iowa "This is a victory for the grass roots".

Iowa is really funny for republicans.

Winning in Iowa is basically the kiss of death for chances to win the nomination.

So congrats Teddy!

I think someone handed Ted his inauguration speech by mistake!

So, vote for someone really beautiful like Hillary, LOL.

So, when O'Malley releases his supporters Bernie wins. Can't see them switching to Hillary.

HRC will win, thinly, and either way this is a BIG WIN for HRC.
Why?

Bernie under performed relative to hopes and expectations that it was going to be like Obama vs. HRC in Iowa.

Bernie is no Obama.

He is NOT going to deny HRC the nomination.

Deal with it.

O'Malley Go home mate, you're done.

Do I trust Cruz? No. Do I trust any of the Republican candidates? No.

But even if he's lying about wanting to nuke the Middle east, I don't want a prez who thinks like that.

Here's another way to look at it: If you have a Thai g.f. and she often jokes about slicing off your johnson, you'd be right in assuming she's considering it. Even if she smiles each time she says it, it's still worrisome. I'd let her go in a Bkk minute.

If you want to get a feel for the credibility of Cruz just look at the hearings on Climate Change. He dragged in every fossil fuel polluter backed Climate Denier he could lay his hands on to 'testify' absolute non scientific drivel.

Cruz credibility = 0

Will Cruz act in the best interest of the American People. Yeah right and there are fairies at the bottom of the garden.

Totally corrupted by Corporate America.

The very worst of the far Right Wing extremists. A sad day for America if he gets to pull the strings for his Corporate buddies.

You would think that people who deny climate change/global warming would be looked at as a bunch of loonies, right alongside those who've been abducted by aliens and members of the Flat Earth Society. Yet, we have an entire political party sold on this belief...or at least that's what they tell their minions. This is one of many issues I have with the GOP.

Unless 91% of all Americans are Republicans, you might need to take it up with the Democrats as well.

Poll: 91% Of Americans Aren’t Worried About Global Warming

As Iowans prepare to vote for presidential candidates, a new poll has surfaced showing once again the vast majority of Americans don’t rank global warming as the most serious issue facing the country.

A YouGov poll of 18,000 people in 17 countries found only 9.2 percent of Americans rank global warming as their biggest concern. Only Saudi Arabians were less concerned about global warming at 5.7 percent. The biggest concern for Americans was global terrorism — 28 percent of Americans polled listed this as their top issue.

I agree and it doesn't surprise me in the least. Particularly when you have supposed 'politicians' like Cruz that spread misinformation on major issues and conflate issues. Cruz feeds garbage into the American discourse so of course you are going to have garbage out. Hoards of Mexican drug dealers and rapists flooding over the border, droves of murderous ISIS operatives on their way to slit your throat as you sleep. Followed by unqualified, discredited Climate Deniers year after year.

'Cruz facing growing attacks on credibility'? Really? What took you so long?

Well, the people have voted!

A long way to go yet. Things are getting nasty and will get even worse the closer it gets to election time.

Not being a Yank, I don't give a toss. You make your cross and take your chances as to which idiot gets in.

Voted?

Nah, a bunch of hayseeds in Iowa have caucused.

You're mixing two different issues.

On the one hand is the issue of: 'what % of Americans believe that climate is affected by human activity - primarily burning fossil fuels?'

On the other hand is: 'how important do Americans place that issue?'

I think a majority of Republicans don't think climate change is a big deal, and the same group don't place a high priority on enacting policies to deal with it. For perspective, consider; Republicans are a political minority in the US. Additionally, nearly all Republicans are Christian fundamentalists, so they believe in Noah's Ark, virgin birth, and God-designed creationism. They even have their own universities (one big one is in Lynchburg VA) where they teach that evolution is bunk.
