Cruz has one more delegate than Trump and Rubio. I think the importance of Iowa caucus momentum is over estimated.

5,000 vote difference = no big deal.

Had Carson, Huckabeen, and Santorum NOT been in the race, Cruz would have had numbers like Huckabee and Santorum did - BIG wins.

On to New Hampshire!

Bingo Nachoman. The Cruz hysteria today is amazing.

That has nothing to do with the article AT ALL.

In terms of delegates you are correct. In terms of momentum, I think it wounds Trump. Not mortally, but he is wounded. How he reacts will be telling.

His three tweets earlier today, IMHO were not well thought out. Sure, hitting the media is generally a winner with the base. But I think that will ring hollow this time. Going after Iowans for not giving him credit for self funding, well that was stupid.

On the other hand, I think it gives Rubio new life. The oxygen mask dropped on his campaign yesterday. Just in time too. Like Trump, what he does with it will be telling.

I want Trump to win. I want to see him put results where his mouth has gone. Problem is, yesterday he didn't deliver. Someone beat him out. Shown that he is mortal yesterday hurt.
