You cruz people are hilarious!
Finally the media is talking about the real story yesterday.

TRUMP HAD ZERO GROUND GAME AND CAME IN SECOND!

Cruz had a huge ground game in a state he should have walked away with

and barely won.

Trump had none of his people giving speeches at his caucusing venues.

NO ONE! He got his huge numbers, and they were huge, without any

ground game. Let that sink in a little cruzers.................

Trump is lucky he didn’t drop to third. Let that sink in just a bit deeper.

I don’t disagree with a single thing you said, but what would have been the outcome had Cruz & his people not played dirty politics with Carson’s supporters?

I doubt we’ll ever know, but I’ll betcha people won’t forget it.

So, you're admitting that Trump's organization was a mess? I though the Donald always had "the best people?" Fact is the man has an over-the-top unfavorable rating. When forced to commit their vote, people just couldn't hold their nose and vote for Trump.

6233 votes.. is not small win.
Trump barely got second place.

Ted Cruz 51,649 votes
Donald J. Trump 45,416 votes
Marco Rubio 43,132 votes

Ted Cruz beat Trump by 6233 votes
Ted Cruz beat Rubio by 8517 votes
Donald Trump beat Rubio by only 2284 votes

So Cruz beat Trump by roughly 3x as many votes as Trump beat Rubio

This was a YUGE loss for Trump!!

Trump had no ground game in Iowa, what he has is a stadium filling made for tv spectacle.

Cruz should have walked away with Iowa after refusing to pander on ethanol and having most of the Iowa Republican establishment come out against him? That’s why it was close.

Trump bought King Corn votes with promises of other peoples money and he still had his butt handed to him on the silver, not gold, platter.

Let that sink in Trumpster.

Trump demonstrated that a popular movement candidate could turn out large numbers of voters to the polls without knocking on their doors, calling them at all hours, or scaring them with official violation letters. Trump also demonstrated he was competitive with the evangelical voters. The Cruz campaign knows this even if his rapid online supporters do not.

Before last night Cruz’s ground game was unproven and untrusted outside his campaign. And pundits have plenty of allegedly strong GOP ground games that flopped: Romney, McCain... Cruz now receives earned praise for delivering at least as well as he promised. Trump’s problem —today — isn’t that he didn’t have a ground game, but that he’d claimed he didn’t need a ground game and would get huge results without one. He blew his prediction. Now his next predictions are getting discounted. Cruz actually ran a relatively cost effective campaign for what he got. Rubio spent a LOT more for his votes. Trump spent quite a bit less, but now people wonder whether he went too cheap and what he could have done had he invested more up front. Trump could certainly start spending more, on the expensive Rubio model, but can’t put a Cruz style ground game together in time for the next few states even if he now wants one.
