We have a Caseys just down the street...the only pizza we order from there is the Taco Pizza..any other we go to our local Italian Rest or Pizzeria..all located right next to each other....I wouldn't say they have a cult following at least not here...

   What pizzes me off @Right_in_Virginia Is that you think I'm stupid enough to believe that after this Trump production in 2016:

Thanks for the info.  Dang, now I'm in the mood for pizza, but with this heavy rain I don't want some poor kid driving in the rain to deliver my pizza and I sure as heck am not about to go out to pick it up.  Maybe tomorrow

But you still have to factor in that Brandon is selling of our oil and has drastically reduced our reserves.

And he is cutting the throats of future generations by refusing to lease new exploration.

The kid has to work either way.  Might as well give him something to do and give him a nice tip for his troubles.

Casey's has been around Iowa since 1959 and its pizza is well known and a regional favorite --- with a cult-like following.

More:

Gee ... @Right_in_Virginia we don't have Casey's around here, never heard of it ... and it would indeed be something Trump would do because he IS known to be an azzhat.

The people who produce oil are selling oil.  The government doesn't produce oil.

Except for the tankers full of oil we shipped to China from the SPR.

owa caucuses: Fox News Voter Analysis provides big insight into GOP race
Republican caucusgoers to reveal which issues are motivating their presidential choice
By Fox News Polling Unit Fox News
Published January 15, 2024 5:51pm EST | Updated January 15, 2024 6:07pm EST



It’s caucus night in Iowa and our Fox News Voter Analysis has been asking likely Republican caucusgoers in the state – more than 1,500 of them – whom they are supporting and why.

Conducted along with our partners The Associated Press and NORC at the University of Chicago, Fox News will be using this innovative election survey approach throughout the 2024 primary season.

On a personal level, what do Iowa Republicans think about their family’s financial situation? Like we’ve seen in national polling, Iowans say they’re in bad shape financially. Just about one in 10 say they’re getting ahead, while three times that say they are falling behind. A majority say they’re holding steady.

I get that but the roads are terribly flooded right now and in some areas you can't even see the roads. I would feel terrible if they were to get stuck.

We always tip pretty well; faster pizza delivery time and the order is always right.

Ooof.  Yes, flooded roads are nothing to mess around with.

You questioned if there was malice in Trump's purchase and I answered.  @libertybele   Trump simply bought pizza he knew the guys would enjoy.

And doesn't that piss you ALL off, to no end???       

Yes. You laugh as America falls apart. Your guy caused this.

**** you. **** your Dilley Lite buddy RiV, and all you corrupt billionaire-****sucking enablers.

And I think that was a great thing to do.  I love pizza, and that's the one thing I miss, no longer living in a big city.....

I am seeing levels of pickiness that exceed even 2016.  The Party is destroying itself over Donald Trump, pro and con.  Reagan's 11th Commandment is laying in tatters.  Now we are criticizing Trump for getting pizza from a place that has DeSantis's wife's name.....

Nope. Just another lost opportunity, and the country going further down the hole, @DCPatriot .

By the time you figger out to let the grown-ups take over it will likely be damnwell too late.

Ok... fair enough @Right_in_Virginia

[roamer_1]

Just a reminder - While The Briefing Room "Trump Haters" try to showcase this forum as a Reagan style Conservative forum, all but a few wouldn't hesitate to withhold their vote for the GOP Nominee.

TWICE!

LOL!  You make this too easy...

You misunderstand Reagan entirely. When Reagan was speaking of unity, he was speaking to Conservatives, not mere Republicans.

And who worked to destroy any Republican that didn't kiss his ring?

Donald Trump.

These are the consequences.

So you were happy with the O'Bama economy and Obamacare?

In reality O'Bama ran up the deficit more than Trump and keep in mind that O'Bama didn't have a pandemic to deal with.  Just sayin'.

CLAIM: Trump “ran up more debt than any other President in American history.”

AP’S ASSESSMENT: That’s incorrect. The debt incurred during the Trump era was very high. But in terms of raw dollars, the total debt rose more under former President Barack Obama, with Trump in second place — though Obama held office for two terms, while Trump served one.

Gross debt as a percentage of U.S. gross domestic product at beginning and end of presidencies since 1940: (graph @link)

True, but only because you're measuring eight years of Obummer against four years of Tump. The rate is almost exactly the same.

You're dealing with a 12 year old's mindset with the

That oil wasn't produced by the government.  It was bought by the government many years ago.  But for the last three years, the government has been selling it instead.

Donald Trump.

I agree with that 100%.  This election is uglier than any I have seen, and the blame for that resides in one guy.  UNO Who.
