It really is silly talk to talk of "Iowa Loss" when there is a virtual three way tie in delegates coming out of Iowa. Ok, Ted Cruz did good last night but his 5,000 vote plurality was equaled by the crowd that showed up for Trump tonight in New Hampshire.

If the situation was reversed, the same would apply to the Trump supporters. Winning a caucus by 27-24 percent does not make the other guy a "loser". Then you have Rubio right behind them at 23 percent.

None of these candidates should be feeling cocky right now.

This reminds me of the 2012 caucus when Santorum, Romney and Ron Paul finished a close 1-2-3. And it was even closer than this one was.

Trump had big crowds in Iowa. Big crowds and big endorsements are not votes.

A tiny shard of realism. The Iowa signal? No clear-cut champion, and only 3 are viewed as legitimate. Personally I will double down on Cruz. Trump's gonna run into a money wall and I'll bet he'll flinch. Rubio doesn't appeal to me, a gun-collecting near-libertarian constitutionalist. I like how Cruz is able to befuddle the opposition into questioning their own raisons d'etre. You should see Cruz take on Medea Benjamin.
