Honestly I think Trump lost, because like most wealthy people, he wasn’t willing to spend his money. Cruz and Rubio outspent Trump
Trump is spending his own money, hence the thriftiness.
Cruz is spending other people’s money. At least he gave them something for it, unlike Jeb.
The only valid point in the article was Trump’s lack of ground game. He put little effort into Iowa in that regard and also in regards to advertising. Straker acts like Trump got 2 percent of the vote. He got nearly 25 percent with less effort and money than Cruz or Rubio. Lost by a mere 3.4 percent and one delegate.
It’s all about NH now for Trump, just like it was all about Iowa for Cruz.
