1. Typically he would win Iowa and fade away, but I am not quite sure this time

He will lose NH of course, but he has so much money and has been working this campaign for 2 years and has 200,000 workers spread out across the country that I am not sure what could happen. He is most dangerous. I absolutely hate him and I literally hate very few people. He has to be stopped. Even getting the nomination with a 10 percent chance at the presidency is too much.

How many can cheat dr. Carson and get away with it?

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34653-why-ted-cruz-is-unfit-to-be-president

The media don't talk about it as much, but Ted Cruz - Trump's closest competitor for GOP front-runner status - has also won the backing of some downright terrifying people. Take, for example, anti-choice activist Troy Newman, who the Cruz campaign just tapped to head up "pro-lifers for Cruz."

As the head of the radical male supremacist group Operation Rescue, Newman straddles the very thin line between "activism" and domestic terrorism - and I mean really straddles it. His organization harasses abortion providers and their patients, and some of its members have been involved in plots to blow up women's health clinics. Newman himself has called for the murder of abortion doctors, said AIDS is a warning from God and believes that drought is God's revenge for abortion. . . .

There's also Dick Black, who the Cruz campaign has appointed as the co-chair of its Virginia campaign. In addition to advocating for the total criminalization of homosexuality, Black is also a rape truther. Back when he was a Virginia state delegate, Black openly questioned the existence of marital rape, something one of his opponents hammered him on in a campaign ad. . . .

Cynthia Dunbar, Black's fellow co-chair of the Ted Cruz campaign in Virginia, isn't much better. She's compared women having reproductive rights to the Holocaust, fought to make far-right Christianity part of the public school curriculum and believes that elected officials should have to pass a "biblical litmus test." She also says that politicians "don't have the freedom to make any laws if they are contrary to what God has said in his Holy Scripture."

3. I think most Republicans don't know what carpet bombing is

Remember, none of them have actually served- They just like talking tough about sending other people's kids off to fight, and 'carpet bombing' is this cool phrase that's caught on with them. They just know it means to destroy a lot of bad guys.

There's also the likelihood that in their minds, there are no Muslim 'civilians'.

On wild hogs in Texas has totally eliminated that problem. I'm sure it will work on the other side of the world.
