Even though I was dissapointed in Trump’s 2nd place finish last night, I was actually glad to see Cruz’s numbers go up in the FR caucus. Many Cruz people celebrated here last night, so one way they expressed themselves was by voting in the caucus. It’s been a disappointment to see his declining numbers here leading up to Iowa.
I think that had less to do with the enthusiasm of Cruz supporters, and more to do with the disappointment of Trump supporters. A lot of us just shut it all off after the final totals came in.
