. >> professor shrum, speaking of bloviaters, we miss donald trump. he's not sure about ted cruz since he was born in canada. are we to assume he'll dispatch an expensive team of investigators in order to find mr. cruz's birth certificate? >> i don't think he'll do that. he just runs his mouth. most of the time he doesn't make a lot of sense. he makes a fool of himself and a joke of himself. what was really going on in iowa this weekend and nia is right. the fact is that republicans who win iowa generally don't go onto the nomination not since george w. bush. democrats generally do. but the reason this is starting so early is because you have a competition between people like cruz and rand paul to be the nonchristie in this race. i'm for ted cruz for the republican nomination or failing that paul. republican friend of mine said to me this weekend if either of them wins the nomination, they'll get spanked in the general. he won't vote for them. but that's what's happening here. chris christie would have a hard time winning iowa. he's conservative but b
