Ted Cruz's path to the presidency could be short lived — with statistics revealing his victory in Iowa this week is very similar to the 2008 and 2012 wins of Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum, whose presidential campaigns eventually went belly up.
That mirrors Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania, and Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, whose voters consisted of 76 and 83 percent evangelical Christians, respectively, according to number-crunching by The Post.

What will it be for Cruz? I think fourth, behind Trump, Rubio and Kasich, with an outside shot at fifth, behind Jeb Bush.
How will Scott walker do?
The lower down the better, sixth anybody? Low Down to match his low down schemes.
Neither had any money going into NH. Cruz is well staffed and funded.
He probably doesn’t win, but it won’t be like those two clowns.
In before sore cruzerman spam graphic!
All the candidates strive for and would be happy to have received a WIN.
So, is the article saying that that is all wrong, that all the candidates, if they want to be POTUS, should have strived to come out second?
Nope.
Maybe he’ll be drafted! [s}
It’s really quite staggering to think that both of those guys won Iowa just 4 or 8 years ago and now have had to drop their campaigns. Iowan’s are a fickle bunch!
Bush and Obama won Iowa. Therefore you must win Iowa to become POTUS. Kind of dumb logic eh?
What were Huck and Santos margins?
The long knives are out for Ted and he don’t care.
Yeah, but neither Huckabee nor Santorum has a lot of small-gov/libertarian appeal, which I think Cruz does, plus the electoral mood should be significantly different this cycle, so it may not be predictive. (Not saying I think he’s going to win NH, just that the overall outlook for his campaign may not follow those guys)
And why is the whiney guy from NY demanding a recount?
Cruz will be an asterisk soon ..the establishment is just using him as a tool to hurt Trump, ultimately to pave the way for Rubio
Might be a good VP choice
I have always liked Huckabee because I believe he is sincere. I just can't imagine Huckabee pulling that illegal mailer and scamming Carson voters.
New Hampster be decided by progressive Libertarian types
Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum were not in the lead when they won Iowa. It was a protest vote and a statistical anomaly. Not so with Cruz.
I think this time next month it’s Cruz in first, Rubio in second, Trump is third.
But its Trump all over the airwaves today demanding an Iowa recount. How do you figger that?
Figures lie and Liars figure
I reckon guess and calculate that anything can happen.
