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.
We’re better off when Kasich is out of Ohio. Kind of like were all better off when Congress is not in session.
Yup.
Ted Cruz was The real winner in NH and he is set to clobber the loudmouth from New York in the SEC states which is all true?
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.
I'm for that.
I say we're already ahead because Bush is going nowhere, and last summer I was dreading a Bush vs Clinton race. Your scenario sounds too perfect to ever happen. But, man, I would love it if it does.
I hear megyn open her interview with him this evening by saying he outperformed expectations in NH.
Numbers are a beast.
Ted’s final RCP avg was 11.8., in 4th and within the MOE of 2 - 5.
His final total was 11.7.
He slid from 4th to 3rd with the Rubio collapse, not because he gained.
If that is exceeding expectations then the definition needs some rework.
The older in get the more I miss reporters asking questions without 2 paragraph lead ins to ‘set the tone’.
He came out ahead because Jeb beat Marco. Now the race goes deep with a weak (probably Jeb) establishment candidate.
