This speaks volumes.

Cruz was the Iowa firewall to get the Santorum/Huckabee vote and STOP TRUMP.

Now they can toss Cruz under the bus to back their scamnesty boy Rubio.

Fox is already pushing Rubio as “John F. Kennedy to Hillary’s Richard Nixon.”

Cruz stood up when others fled.

I remember the filibuster, when everyone called him a fool and that he was doing tremendous harm to the country. He had few supporters in Congress.

McConnell lied to his face and he had the courage to call him out on it.

I could go on, but whatever anyone thinks he is a stand up guy.

Yes! Ted said to give God the glory! So we should thank the Lord that Ted was able to prevail tonight! On to New Hampshire which has a major drug problem and needs Ted Cruz to call them to repentance. Ted's preaching the Gospel should be able to convince those Yankees to mend their evil ways and forget about Donald Trump!!!.

Happy for you. However, Ted can’t compete in the general.

Cruz and Rubio both did better than expected. Trump did worse than his nationals polls would have indicated, which is what I’ve expected all along. Trump’s bragging, insulting, and demeaning of others probably did not workout well in Iowa.

“Ted can’t compete in the general.”

And Trump can? The recent Gallup poll had Trump at 60% unfavorable. Cruz was only 37% unfavorable. Seems like Ted would have the better shot.

Well, it worked out better than anyone other than Cruz. Trump did come in second after all.

Every so called conservative politician said it was just awful that Cruz would call the leader of the senate a liar. I had to admit I liked that about Cruz.

Cruz doesn't always play fair:

Carson: Other campaigns sabotaged us with ‘dirty tricks’

Lots of Iowans upset because Cruz people told them Dr. Carson was dropping out.

In the Gallop survey Bernie Sanders had the lowest negative of all. Does that mean he will beat Ted Cruz in the general?

Thank you for this post. Ted did great! And even Trump was classy, afterwards.

There are several good candidates for the Republican ticket. I’d like to see them stay focused on the enemy in the white house. Congratulations Senator Cruz.

That is a total non issue. Cruz supporters pointed a breaking CNN story. Nothing underhanded about it all.

Poll after poll shows Cruz doing better against Hillary than Trump.
Hillary actually beats Trump in most polls, whereas Cruz beat her.
