It will be a 3 man race from here on...Rubio has exceeded expectations, Cruz finished as expected & Trump finished somewhat below expectations.
What this really means is NH becomes more important. And SC becomes even more critical.
NH is important because it will get the field down to 3-4. Once that happens, SC is in play and Trump’s values are not South Carolina values. I expect Cruz to easily win the next debate when there are fewer participants. When it gets down to three, Cruz will be the obvious winner in every debate.
