A win for Cruz is essential. A win for Trump is not essential but it shortens the process.

We need change, good change to get back on the rails again. We need to be told the truth and we need to eliminate politically correct, affirmative action, racism used at every turn and other damaging rat infested policy's and programs that neuter the majority in this country from speaking the truth. We also need to make an example ie clinton or obama prosecute and jail to send a message

I went back over the IOWA results for the last several years and realized one thing. Winning there does not correlate directly with winning the nomination. It does give supporters a boost of spirits, and maybe a boost in donations to the winner.

If Trump and Cruz finish 1-2, as the latest polls says, they will each gain approximately 7 +/- first round votes at the convention.

When I saw the picture of Trump with Huckabee and Santorum at his debate alternative event I had a perfect caption for after the general in November.

“The winners of the last three Iowa Caucus presidential campaigns, none of whom went on to win the nomination.”
