Willowed by Ace, but I don't care:
Mark Levin on Rubio, top of last night's show (MP3):
Ghost of kari: Now Trump is calling for new elections in Iowa because of fraud....
Seriously? Good grief! Move on, Donald, move on.
Trump complaining Cruz stole Iowa, illustrated
Argggh. CHRONICLES, not Corinthians.
Bah! I blame Trump's hair.

The caucus means nothing. Crump and Truz mean nothing. Rubio means nothing.

Pappy O'Daniel: The caucus is on Groundhog Day?
Imagine that, over and over and over.

J.J. Sefton: I just realized that I contradict myself in that post.
It's that kind of election year!
Sure, Mrs. Cruz works for Goldman Sachs...
But at least she doesn't work for...
* cue sinister theme *
the Koch Brothers!
Not going to read all 800 comments, but in case it hasn't been said...
Bill in LV along with Porn convention reminds me of Bernie at the debates talking about how it's not about what Bill has done in the past.
I am one of the noisy majority and I am one of the people that is voting for Donald Trump. And guess what GOP, and guess what Tea Party, I am a conservative."
I've said before I wish we could have the best traits of Cruz and Trump in one candidate.
This isn't quite what I meant:
