Trump if he would have went a week early to campaign would have won. I mean Cruz won by 4 percent. Not exactly a huge amount. And with the Carson votes he took, that was 4 percent right there. So I don’t think going overboard on a win that Cruz was in the state for 2 years and spent a ton of money and had a decent ground game, but remember with all that, he only won by 4 percent.......not that great for how much he prepared.
1 delegate is all.
With 13 candidates in the race 4 percent is indeed a big margin. That's one seventh of his entire vote count.
Exactly! Iowa does not have a good history of selecting the nominee. It does have a good history for elimination of the bottom tier of also rans.
It takes a difference of 120+ delegates to even make 1% difference in the delegate count. Iowa was essentially a three way tie.
