Why Trump will lose Iowa?

His last 'sonuvabitch' and 'bastard'.

Once upon a time, Pat Robertson won the Iowa caucus. Another time, Rick Santorum won the caucus. Another time, Huckaby won it. What did they all have in common? They appealed to the 'evangelical' vote in that state.

Trump got angry at his last event and cursed the 'sonuvabitch' that set up his microphone. He said the 'bastard' should not be paid. Most of his supporters had no problem with his language. But, you can bet that the 'evangelical' voters were paying close attention and they will not vote for a hypocrite that calls himself a 'Christian' but curses all the time.

There will be all kinds of analysis after the Iowa caucus about why Trump lost and Cruz won? But the real reason will be that Trump uttered one 'sonuvabitch' too many...

to worry about a little bit of salty language. Now, on the other hand if he had sworn about the mic saying "Jesus Christ #*&%$(!!!":, it would be a whole other matter.

It will all depend on who has the stupidest supporters and how many can and cannot follow instructions re the caucus process.
