Everyone including Trump knew he had to run the tables because he has no chance at schlonging the convention delegates with his pouty dirty tactics.
Regardless of how NH turns out, NH is about as representative of America as is Newfoundland.
Trump will be folding up the circus halker tent real soon.
If I reply to it "as is"?
Not being "Everyone", my hick-level understanding bows to your Sensei-level mastery.
I definitely think that you're right about NH.
However, as to the rest? Personally, I think you've misread things and I disagree.
Iowa, to me, is sorta like the NFL preseason in a lot of ways, but the win counts.
Cruz and his team needed to win the "preseason" for the fans, the vendors and especially for the Big D Donor$ they need to support him and the team. Cruz and his team did what they needed to do.
As an outsider on everyone's hit list, who's not even supposed to be serious, Trump and "The Donald" also did well. Trump and his team did what they needed to do.
It's been a great season so far, more entertaining than any I can remember.
With so many with so much in the game, we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.
