Wait, didn’t Trump come in second, ending up with one less delegate than Cruz? How is that being taken out? And, I still can’t help but wonder if there were not some irregularities of some sort, given the polling data!
There is a 98.4% probability that the results of the Democratic polling were rigged (100% minus 1.6%).

Could the Republican results be rigged, too?
Neither Trump nor Sanders have ben taken out by the Iowa caucuses, which not so long ago were not very important, anyway. On to New Hampshire!!!!
Losing is losing. It don't matter if Denver wins the Super bowl by 1 point or by 20 points. They still win it. Equally, if the Panthers lose by 1 point they still lose. Get it?
The GOPe has already said publicly their plan to rob Trump if he goes into the convention with the delegate count required to win. I'm sure in Republican controlled voting precincts in Iowa the GOPe "lost" some Trump votes, and "found" some Cruz votes, or some combination of the electioneering that in the 21st century the Dems have mastered.
(The "mailer" dirty trick was originally used by Obama in 2008)
PS FWIW: Iowa has gone Democrat in EVERY presidential ELECTION SINCE 1988 except GWB re-election year, when Iowa went Republican by literally a few hundred votes. I'm trying to figure out where all those Cruz evangelicals are in a state that is SOLID BLUE.
It's big news because the fact is, Cruz came <---> this close to being edged out in the state that was supposed to be a slam dunk for him. Cruzers everywhere are breathing a huge sigh of relief.
I saw an interesting idea, I think it was on Ace of Spades HQ, that the media may have been artificially pumping up Trump's numbers in the last week of Iowa polling to create a false impression that he was rising in the polls so that when he didn't win, it would serve as a huge "let down" to deflate his momentum.
