I don’t know man. The polls went back and forth. And he got 7 votes. I’m voting for Ted but I don’t see yesterday as doing much for anyone except Rubio which concerns me

Yep, it's the old GOP-e two step:

Split the conservative vote.

Run the RINO up the middle.

One of these days us on the right will learn to avoid the circular firing squads and keep the debates and exchanges on the high road. The GOP-e wants us duking it out in the mud.

And Cruz is most likely to pick up votes after the Rino candidates drop out.

You touched on the core issue of what happened in Iowa.

The establishment is going to now push Rubio ferociously.

On Fox business this morning they talked about the outcome of Iowa for nearly 5 minutes and there was not one mention of Trump. It was all about Rubio's unusually strong showing against Cruz.

Really? Cruz beat Rubio by just about as much as expected. Rubio almost beat Trump, but only because Trump did so badly. Hard to see how this helps Rubio more than Cruz. Don’t believe the MSM hype.

FWIW, Cruz went into the caucus leading Rubio 14-10. I’m guessing he ends up in 2nd place in NH, well behind Trump, but clearly the alternative. Big donors are, but voters aren’t looking to support “establishment,” but many of them are looking to see who can beat Trump. Cruz did what he had to: he demonstrated that he could.
