On his radio show yesterday, Mark Levin rightfully blasted the media for spinning the Iowa caucuses. They are, he explained pretending that Marco Rubio was the winner of the night because he got a larger share of the vote than projected.
He did. But that does not make him a winner, Levin said: Rubio finished third... which is exactly where the polls had him. Yes, he received more voters, but he placed as expected.
As Levin pointed out yesterday, the real winner of the Iowa caucuses was Ted Cruz. Not only did he perform better than thought by finishing first rather than second, and not only did he get 4% more than projected in the RCP average, he also took on the ethanol lobby, the MSM, and the establishment... and he walked away with more voters than any Republican candidate in Iowa's history.
That's the real story here, not that the establishment favorite -- who was supported by establishment politicians, whose Super PACs relentlessly went after Cruz, who was pushed continuously by the media -- ended up finishing third, but with a higher percentage than expected.

It will have to be Trump even though his latest revelation about Health Care is not what I want. In fact, I have said there will probably be many things about Trump that I won’t like.
There is no way I want another Bush Administration via Jebbie or Cruz.
“These people on this site that think his connection to the Chertoff Group means nothing need to do a lot more research.”
The ones who are surprised, yes indeed. Some know, and deflect.
I knew about Chertoff Group but did not know the extent of the background on Cruz. Sheesh, I feel suckered because at one point I thought he had a chance at VP.
I also thought he did not have a chance to win POTUS. I have to rethink that given who is backing him. But Chertoff was an advisor to Romney and Romney lost.
I’m disappointed in Mark. Not because he is a Cruz fan, but for allowing us to know it. His show was always “above” this kind of rhetoric. I stopped listening to him.
What if the NWO has said, we don’t care who wins..but it can’t be Trump.
So Chad Sweet, get to steppin’ with all of your intelligence know how and help Cruz.
Sure jedi, I almost believe your twist and spin!
You are not the least bit credible to me, and your rants do not able coherent. Enjoy defending Rubio as that is exactly where it’s headed. But as I’ve said before and will say again, to you guys amnesty/shamnesty, no biggy.
“What if the NWO has said...”
Please don’t throw me in the briar patch?
