Exactly right. A Trump win in Iowa would have devastated Cruz’s campaign and set Trump up as the inevitable candidate, which is the worst-case scenario for the GOPe. Now both Cruz and GOPe live to fight Trump another day, but bear in mind that Iowa represents < 1% of the national vote and the caucus-goes a fraction of that.
Congrats to Cruz on the win, but everyone knows it doesn’t mean much, just ask Mike Huckabee who has been there, done that, just 8 sort years ago and now can’t even sustain his candidacy. How quickly political fortunes change!
And by the way, Iowa Evangelicals...if Huck was you man 8 years ago, what’s he done to fall from grace since then? I find Huckabee’s performance in Iowa far more puzzling than Rubios, who is clearly playing the establishement GOP game.
When you accept establishment money, you are playing the establishment game.....
A sitting senator, who went to Harvard, only has had a government job his entire life is playing the “anti-establishment” card. That is one fine ruse he is playing, kudos to him
Thanks - It’s good to know I am not alone in thinking this way.
