Cruz has never made a move toward New Hampshire and anyone who has followed this race has known that. If he ends up in the top two in Iowa and ends up in the top three in New Hampshire, he will be set to continue onto South Carolina and the March 1st contests.
Endurance and survival is the important part of this race. Those who can’t end up in the top three of either Iowa and New Hampshire will be out of time, out of money, and out of the running.
And that includes Cruz, Rubio, Bush, Trump, Carson or anyone else. After Iowa, the New Hampshire polls will solidify dramatically and we will get a better sense of who will do well there.
Trump clearly has the lead right now, but a lot of candidates have flamed out in the last month before Iowa.
True. But never one who has led in every state and national race (with 2-3 exceptions) since JUNE.
