Everyone surges except Trump. Cruz putting all his eggs in Iowa, which frankly is meaningless.

Cruz is the type that does very well in Iowa- and no where else. The Evangelicals (Huckabee and Santorum) always gets Iowa only to lose New Hampshire. Most importantly, the delegates are actually picked by the Great Lake States and lower New England (New York and New Jersey mostly) not the religious south.

If Cruz wins Iowa (which he could given his organizational strength) the Establishment will get scared out of their minds- because the choice will be Trump or Cruz

The funniest thing will be watching the Bush supporters running towards Trump to keep out Cruz

Not really. A win in Iowa reassures donors, the winner gets a big media boost and a win allows Cruz to obtain even more small donors. And last, it is better than coming in second. That is reason enough.

If winning is meaningless in Iowa, why is Trump competing in Iowa and wants to win in Iowa?

“Cruz putting all his eggs in Iowa, which frankly is meaningless.”

No, he is not. He has worker teams in most counties in every state, including US territories.
