These people are used to dealing with totally contradictory information and never letting it alter their ‘view’ of things, so I doubt he would have noticed no matter how many times he went over it.
Don't be shy, Hohmann. Let us highlight your quote and proclaim the great news for Cruz unto all the land:
Nearly two-thirds of Iowa Republican insiders believe Cruz can win the caucuses.
But, but wait, the naysayers among you might say. It also shows that only 14 percent think Cruz can win in New Hampshire. The reality is that primaries don't happen in a vacuum. Several of the conservatives candidates could easily drop out after bombing in Iowa. If Cruz is the winner there as two-thirds of the Republican insiders cited by Hohmann believe is possible, then guess where many/most of their New Hampshire supporters will turn? Also winning in Iowa would bring a big infusion of Cruz campaign contributions.
So there it is. Despite the artificial theme hammered by Hohmann, his own quote completely contradicts it. Hey, time for an encore for the real big news of this article:
Nearly two-thirds of Iowa Republican insiders believe Cruz can win the caucuses.
Alternate reality title: DemocRats in Iowa and NH Say They Won’t Vote for Cruz in Republican Primary.
