Meanwhile, conservative talk radio host, Rush Limbaugh and mark levin both question trumps decision on the quote, mania, helping shut down the government in 2013. Thats a huge mistake.

New hampshire is an interesting story. I think trump, if he loses to iowa, could make an impression in New Hampshire if that happens by getting a lot of independents and democrats voting in the republican primary for the first time, meaning the Republican Base is bigger than people think. Thats impossible. It will be interesting. Ted cruz is locking up the movement. Thats a big deal. Im not sure hes locking them up. Certainly, they all came to his defense.
