As a Cruz supporter I am happy about the win in Iowa, however I don’t consider it a true test. I feel the same about NH. Neither state should get as much credibility as they do. They are not clear reflections ofthe nation...at least we better hope they aren’t!
Depends on what’s meant by “test”
For presenting different messages to different audiences, transitioning between messages, building organization and GOTV/Turnout systems, the early primaries are really excellent test environments.
