Cruz wins in Iowa. I think I'd actually prefer to see Trump in the White House.

Only read bits about Cruz but he strikes me as a nasty piece of work.

You wouldn't say that to his face.

If you do, be sure to wear a big belt buckle for protection.

Mr. Carson wrote in his book that a moment of “pathological anger” when he was in the ninth grade led him to attempt to plunge a knife into the waist of a boy, identified as “Bob,” but a belt buckle blocked the blade’s entry. After the incident, Mr. Carson said, he began reading the Book of Proverbs and “never had another problem with temper.”

So Carson's appeal to voters is that he's nearly killed people in the past in a fit of psychotic rage?

 

Wtf is going on in this election...

I think that his appeal to voters (earlier on anyways, he has dropped significantly in the polls recently) were his fundamental christian beliefs and the fact that he is not a career politician.

 

His fundamental christian beliefs include the theory that the pyramids in Egypt were built by Joseph (of technicolor outerwear fame) as grain silos...

I...see...

 

The religious bit makes more sense in terms of voter appeal. Still a rather bizarre election campaign in terms of the challengers. Does all this noise just mean it'll be Hillary in the end, or does Trump actually stand a chance?
