The money the GOP PACS threw into Iowa was designed to blunt Trump so he does not head into New Hampshire with a victory which could start an avalanche of victories for Trump. The GOP establishment needs to have Trump lose in Iowa and propelled Cruz and Rubio to do so.
In my view, Iowa was always Cruz's to lose. The money the GOP PACs spent was to pump up Rubio.
At this point I think the other establishment candidates like Jeb and Cristie are there to serve as spare tires just in case something happens to Rubio.
A Cruz victory was what the GOP-e was hoping for last night
The true winner last night was the GOP-e, they got exactly what they wanted. The GOP-e would want Clinton president over Trump, Clinton can be easily bought, and in the end that is what it really is about anyways. Money
Cruz did a great job though, playing preacher and vote cop worked in his favor, kudos to great campaign strategy
Rubio is a GOPe creation, a Trojan Horse, handpicked by the worst of the worst in the GOP. The same bunch behind Ryan.

Not for a moment do I believe that eventually it will be down to Trump and Cruz slugging it out.
There will be a third. That will probably be Rubio.
Not a fan of David Brooks.
Congrats to Ted Cruz and all his supporters.
Now with that out of the way the bad news... Rubio is going to be the nominee.
It depresses me to say this but that’s the way I see it now. Cruz don’t have what it takes to go the distance with Rubes, and Trump... He’s been found out to be a paper tiger.
Hate to be defeatist, and I hope I’m wrong, but without Trump running the media down, the media and the GOPe will be all guns trained on Cruz after New Hampshire...
Get used to it. From now all the left and the GOPe along with the MSM especially Fox news are going to pimp Rubio night and day.
Trump needs to forget Cruz who has no shot and go after Rubio like a Duck on a June bug.
