Cruz blew it with the Glenn Beck endorsement and related clown show in Iowa yesterday. Very disappointing.
Cruz letting Beck up on a stage with him was dumb enough but not setting the agenda ahead of time was just insane. I have no doubt Beck pulled out the swearing in thing and Cruz was like a deer in headlights. He just went through with it not to make a fuss. Suicidal mistake.
Beck & Cruz commit suicide.
Trump retakes lead in IOWA.

Excerpt
In addition, Sarah Palin endorsed Donald Trump in Iowa early in the week. Her endorsement came just as the Fox poll was starting interviews in the Hawkeye State. The Palin endorsement boosted Trump considerably among voters who identify as “very conservative” and “tea party.”
Among both voters, Cruz had been leading Trump in the last Fox poll. Trump now leads among “tea party voters” and is essentially tied with Cruz among “very conservative” voters. Cruz had held a slim lead among more mainstream “Republican” voters, a group Trump now leads by 9 points.
Trump, it seems, is benefiting from a political perfect storm just before Iowa casts its votes. Palin’s embrace of Trump and the state’s Republican establishment’s united opposition to Cruz has pushed Trump into a strong lead.
