If Huff Po is backing someone, they think he’s easy for Democrats to beat.
Look for the guy they absolutely hate and are bashing on their page 1. That’s the one they fear.
open primaries, liberal state.
Open primaries are a stupid idea.
45% of voters weren’t Republicans, insane.
Cruz is smart not to spend money there.
From a commenter:
Cruz won by not losing big. I may not have these numbers exactly right but I think I am in the right ball park. Cruz spent like $500,000 on commercials in NH to come in third while Bush spent like $37,000,000 to come in fourth. Kasich put all his eggs into NH to come in second far behind Trump and not much ahead of Cruz. If you don’t think that is a win for Cruz, you lack imagination. The real test will be South Carolina where Cruz has been making an effort.
I agree that this was a good night for Cruz. He beat all of the serious candidates to oppose Trump for the nomination (Kasich is a regional candidate with no support outside of NH). His chief opponent for the Role of anti Trump (Rubio) took a potentially fatal wound in NH and Ben Carson also did so poorly that it may cause the rest of his voters to abandon him. If Cruz can pick up a significant share of Rubio and Carsons support then he will be in a very good position to defeat Trump in SC.
I didn’t expect Cruz to do as well as he did. For spending the least amount of money via superpacs and for spending a low amount of time campaigning there, he managed a narrow third place behind men who spent a lot of time and resources there.
Trump was the easy winner as expected, but it was far from being a bad night for Cruz. Kasich deserves congratulations for earning the only delegates he’ll get this year.
The Trumpeteers will fail to see the strategic depth of the Cruz campaign and crow about winning a blue state but they’re in for a rude awakening when South Carolina votes. Rubio and Bush will not have the decency to drop out until the voters of South Carolina deal the establishment candidates a death blow but I’m sure they’ll dump a ton of money. Ted Cruz should focus on his ground game and campaign as hard as he did in New Hampshire.
Cruz got 11% of the vote, lost big to Trump among conservatives in every category, a yet is the real winner in NH.

Really?
Huff loves the saver,eh?
The big advantage Cruz has is the two year plus effort to build campaign infrastructure in just about every state. He has a well oiled machine in place where his primary competition has the force of celebrity (effective enough when it translates into votes.)
Cruz will remain formidable throughout this this election. The big challenge he has is that previously Trump acted as a “flame shield” from the leftist media. Now Trump and Cruz are openly attacking each other and the media is using them to take down each other.
It’s still a long road for Cruz especially in direct contention with Trump. I honestly believe that Cruz was not taken out of the running earlier because the media was so fixated with Trump. Cruz is strong enough to get through this and can win the nomination, but Trump is just as intelligent if not as disciplined so Cruz has his work cut out for him. It’s a worthy match regardless of how they lean politically as conservatives.
In the mean time, thank you God it isn’t Jeb...
Yes finishing 12% behind with “very conservative” voters puts Cruz who could hardly see Trump from where he finished, in great shape - why of course anybody could see that. Cruz can learn how to appeal to voters interested in electing a president. We know he knows how to get elected bishop of Iowa.
