If Iowa was Sen. Ted Cruz's stomping ground, New Hampshire was set up to be a resounding defeat.
The evangelical values Cruz campaigned on in the Midwest were in short supply in the secular Granite State. He -- and everyone else -- polled double-digits behind Donald Trump. But though Trump snagged his first win in Tuesday night's primary, Cruz notched a comfortable third-place finish after Ohio Gov. John Kasich and avoided a brawl that experts said are likely to bruise the weaker candidates in the race.
Both Cruz and Trump are doing well. If they can finish 1-2 at the end of the primary season, GOPe heads will be exploding across America. That’s a good thing.
If I were a Cruz fan the last thing I’d ever bring up is the Iowa “win”.
He won fair & square. Get over it.
Trump supporters brains’ don’t hurt because they have no brain.
jenny...you come across really angry but it’s like you’ve lost site of what’s really going on.
Good lord.
I always apologize, THREE TIMES, when I win fair and square.
How much did the Cruz PAC’s spend?
It is weird. The 3rd place guy in the last two states gets declared a winner. Go figure.
Sounds to me like Cruz is really mixing it up with the real people. Trump is acting like he is a rock star. Trump could be fulfilling the ole “flash in the pan” cliche...
Cruz won Iowa Cruz won Iowa Cruz won Iowa Cruz won Iowa
In extremely liberal New Hampsha...don’t delude yourself...
I think you are officially race baiting...careful.
Carolina Panthers may have lost the Super Bowl, but pundits say they came out ahead.
Silly beyond comprehension.
Seven, but who’se counting?
Oh, I see they gave Trump one more delegate since this morning. Seven it is. So that still comes out to 1/2 of 1% of the total needed. Too early to worry about delegate counts. After Super Tuesday we should have a good feel for how this will go. I still think this will go all the way to the convention. Cruz has the money and the organization to fight all the way, and there are too few true winner take all states, especially if Bush or Rubio stay in all the way to the convention as well.
