Ted Cruz -- my guy -- confounded the public pollsters with his victory in Iowa, snapping up 35% of the vote in a (much too) crowded field. I don't know what measuring stick this guy is using. Cruz took 27.3% of the vote and won exactly 27.6% of the delegates while Trump took 24.3% of the vote and won 24.1% of the delegates and Marco Rubio 23.1% and 24.1% of the delegates.
I guess this was the stuff Mark Twain warned us about. Lies, damned lies and statistics.

That’s why it’s confounding.

Yeah, I think Roger Kimball got somewhat confused with the 35%
