New Hampshire shows that numbers do not tell the whole story.
Ted Cruz came in third in the first-in-the-nation presidential primary there, but is considered by many to be the true winner for what it implies to the party and those still trying to decide whom in the party to support.
The Texas senator, whose campaign has stressed ultra-conservative positions on such things as abortion, same-sex marriage, immigration and foreign policy, was expected to do well in Iowa - a rural state where such themes play well, given its large evangelical community. Cruz was the top vote-getter there.
But in New Hampshire, where the frequent mentions of God and the Bible traditionally don't have the impact that it does in the so-called heartland, Cruz sounded like less of a preacher and more of a politician, sounding alarms about the ethanol lobby and how to grow the economy.
He spent less time there than many of his rivals, and the least amount of money - $580,000.
And yet he came out ahead of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who appeared in some 100 events in New Hampshire and spent $18.5 million and came in fourth; New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who also was a fixture in the state and spent $15.2 million and came in sixth, and Sen. Marco Rubio, who spent $12.1 million and came in fifth.
Cruz also got the most endorsements of any GOP presidential candidate from New Hampshire's state legislators, according to The Washington Post.

It’s 1 and 1, and Cruz didn’t even try in New Hampshire and still came in third. I almost feel sorry for the Donald, given what is about to hit him when he enters the Bible belt.
No doubt he’s gonna have some choice words for evangelicals when they hand Ted Cruz victory after victory.
Better fasten your seatbelts twitter, because you are in for more Trumpertantrums than your bandwidth is likely to be able to handle!

Yep, Cruz took 3rd without even trying. He only spent about five hundred thousand, and spent the least number of days than almost every other candidate.
And let’s not forget where we are headed: THE BIBLE BELT.
There is no combing over it, Donald Trump is going to get shredded in the Bible Belt.
