The 91% top marginal tax rate under Ike also sets him apart from today's neocons.

IA caucus crap is over-complicated bull , an anachronism. It also excludes people who can't physically go to a caucus at 7 PM from participating. It should be an voting election like other states.
How Trump Did It
What they heard as they ate deli sandwiches around Donald Trump’s hulking wooden conference table sounded like the businessman’s typical bravado. These 25 New York political operatives had come to ask him to run for governor. But Trump had another plan—a very specific plan—to run for president.
“You guys are going to be very helpful when I do the big thing,” he said, according to people who were in the room that day.
To the GOP county chairs and assemblymen there in Trump Tower’s glass-enclosed conference room overlooking Fifth Avenue and Central Park, Trump’s aspirations seemed far-fetched and the plan itself sounded downright implausible.
“He said, ‘I’m going to walk away with it and win it outright,’” a long-time New York political consultant recalled. “Trump told us, ‘I’m going to get in and all the polls are going to go crazy. I’m going to suck all the oxygen out of the room. I know how to work the media in a way that they will never take the lights off of me.’”
This gathering of New York’s political class was not held on the eve of Trump’s announcement. It was much earlier than that – 25 months ago, in the weeks before Christmas of 2013, a period well before most Americans and even many politicians were thinking about the 2016 presidential contest. Well before Trump would come to utterly dominate the GOP race from the very moment he declared himself a candidate.
In this meeting, Trump showed his cards, laying out the route he would take to tonight’s Iowa caucuses.
Notoriously frugal, Trump insisted he wouldn’t need to spend much money on paid advertising, drawing disbelief from the professionals gathered around his table.
“You can’t run for president on earned media,” one attendee recalled telling Trump.
The billionaire looked up, and paused for a long moment. “I think you’re wrong,” Trump said.
“Are you going to do all those little events at the Pizza Ranches?” another person asked, referring to the Iowa fast-food franchises that are a staple of presidential campaign stops.
“Maybe a little,” Trump replied. “But it’s really about the power of the mass audience.”
I’m going to get in and all the polls are going to go crazy. I’m going to suck all the oxygen out of the room. I know how to work the media in a way that they will never take the lights off of me.”
What sounded then like fantasy now looks like prophecy. Trump’s long-planned but largely improvisational campaign, propelled by a high-wattage personality, has him in position to win the Iowa caucuses, and perhaps steamroll his rivals on his way to the GOP nomination.
It couldn’t have worked for anyone else. Everything that explains the first-time candidate’s mind-blowing success—his uncanny ability to read and react to people and to bait his foes into positions of weakness, his eagerness to accept risk, and, above all, his ability to trust his gut to navigate the race while eschewing professional guidance—is the result of an entire career in the public spotlight and the ruthless worlds of New York real estate, media and politics.
“When he looks down his nose at the political consulting class, no wonder,” said veteran Republican pollster and Trump acquaintance Tony Fabrizio. “And I’m one of them!”

Trump calls for 'new election' after accusing Cruz of fraud in Iowa
"Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified," Trump tweeted on Wednesday.

stinky bag Krazy Kruz sent out msg that Krazy Karson was quitting, trying to pickup Carson's Bible humpers. With undoubted sincerity, Krazy Kruz apologized.

I disagree. The ability to actually talk things over provides for a much better democratic process.
whatever, IA is meaningless for the general election. It's extremist Congress people are a bigger problem.
lol alternet
lol meltdown
Man, Cruz is ting all over him right now.
Trump v Cruz would be a more re ed version of Bush v Gore
iow, Trump is doing what he has done for months, sucking all the oxygen up, dominating/trolling the media.
You Trump fellators must be ecstatic.
If you're going run as evangelical Christians (both Cruz and Rubio), you better not be doing dirty things like what they did to Carson. I feel so bad for him.
Well cruz did it anyway.
according to a rubio supporter, he did too.
This guy.
those Pharisees talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. They're both venal bags, like grifter abee
Cruz only said what was inevitable. Besides Carson is a sorry candidate who has no business running for president. He's terrible in debates, about as interesting to listen to as watching grass grow, and he set himself up for what Cruz did by having to get more suits. What kind of a pathetic excuse is that? Time for him to go. Cruz just did what needed to be done.
