Trump got schlonged. By coming in second he loses all of that free air coverage. Now, it shifts to Rubio, and Rubio may soon pick up much more mainstream support. Trump will have to engage in more stunts and antics, maybe some additional twitter wars and weird accusations, to pick up free airtime. Cruz needs to keep his momentum going; he needs to do very well in New Hampshire.
He loses free air coverage for a week, and then he’ll trounce the competition in SC and have it all back again.
I meant to say NH and then SC.
Trump may get the message that his political meanderings of late hurt him. Voters need reminders of why a candidate should be elected - and I haven’t been hearing anything about the wall, etc.
The narrative for Rubio is simply the GOPe trying to reestablish its primacy.
