Cruz has spent a year on his ground game in Iowa and Trump virtually no time so for it to be as close as it was is not a good indication for Cruz. I don’t know why people put so much stock in Iowa. Perhaps because it’s the first state to pick candidates and they think it will be a jump start for them if they win it. Didn’t end up meaning anything for Huckabee in 2008 or Santorum in 2012 so I don’t think I would get my hopes up too high. We’ll be able to tell how seriously the GOP takes a Cruz win by whether they start attacking him or not.

Trump was supposed to run the tables.

My question is did Trump run the tables or did the tables run Trump?

"Cruz refused to pander on ethanol, he defied Iowa's popular governor, and he stuck to his conservative principals-and he won"

Iowa was essentially a three-way tie, in a state where it was repeatedly said “Trump has no ground game”.

The real test will be “Super Tuesday”.

I’m wondering how much of that “record turnout” was Democrats crossing over to vote for Rubio?

With Clinton and Sanders being so close, it will make it more likely that Dems will stay in their own race.

When I went to bed last night the press had Cruz pegged for a respectable 2nd.

El Rushbo will be busting his buttons today. He constantly says that if a candidate sticks to a purely conservative platform, America will respond with the votes, but that nobody has had the spine to DO it. Cruz did it, and won fair and square. He’s still my 2nd choice, but he has moved up a bit.

I never expected Rush’s theory to pan out in Iowa. To my mind, Iowans are a different breed of cat; wonderful, salt of the earth, shirt off their back folks; but with a schizo-crazy, fickle, liberal scandinavian-rooted mindset. After spending a lot of time in Iowa in the ‘80s, that’s how I viewed Iowans....like the folks in The Music Man.

But at least for the moment, it looks like I was mistaken. Or was I right after all? Did the pundits say it would be Trump, only to have the zany Iowans swerve the other direction? In either case, it’s a long way from OVER. The fat lady is a long way from singing. Right now she’s only gotten one leg wriggled into her pantyhose.

I wish people would stop trying to suck all the joy out of the fact that YEB! came in so low that cockroaches are looking down on him with pity.
