All about the delegates. By coming in second in IA, Trump got as many delegates -1 as if the roles had been reversed. But tonight, he’ll get a much larger number, esp. since the bottom tier 3-4 will have to cede their delegates to #1 as well. So at the end of the night, Trump is in the lead significantly over Cruz . . . after only two.
BTW, earlier exit polls showed this NH electorate was “significantly” more educated and more conservative than previous primaries.
Donald Trump 34%
John Kasich 16%
Jeb Bush 12%
Ted Cruz 11%
Marco Rubio 10%

Percent In: 8%
An article yesterday said the delegates of bottom 10% candidates are proportionately allocated to the over 10% candidates.
