Bush rep speaking. Everyone here is polite. Not sure I can tell support by applause.
Cruz 50%
Trump 40%
Rubio 7%
everyone else 3%
Why I LOVE Iowa. Ben Carson speaker was not a very good speaker, and was very nervous speaking in front of 2000 people. She finished and got a huge ovation.
Iowa.
Trump 33
Cruz 32
Rubio 13
Would be better news still if Cruz was already leading, but Rubio being such a no-show probably will help the anti-Trump majority rally around Cruz.
Cruz speaker was OK.
Christie speaker looks like she is going to faint. She is so nervous. Doing OK, but this is NOT Christie country.
Got a text from my friend. Ted Cruz spoke in front of thousands in Cedar Rapids. Was the site of dozens of precincts. Cruz was mobbed. Huge ovation.
Rubio is doing OK. Big ovation.
Trump speaker is really good in a bad way. No point to what he is saying. Like a stream of conscience thought. I could have done better and I am a Cruz guy.
Not much cheering for Trump speaker.
No Huckabee or Kasich speakers.
Cruz leading in major cities; this is where I thought Trump would do best...
TED CRUZ JUST SHOWED UP
STANDING OVATION.
TED IS ON FIRE.
HE IS KICKING BUTT.
Nothing negative about ANY other candidate.
Jim Gilmore - 2 votes! Dam rite!
...
(oh sure they are still predicting him to come in 3rd as pretty much predicted in the polls, but don't let little details get in the way)

It’s time for us to recognize that America needs someone who can lead—someone with a proven record. https://t.co/Hq1bgOPaQt

Gilmore/O’Malley 2016!
Cruz left with a standing ovation.
THE FIX IS IN. If Trump places third there is NO DOUBT the fix is in.
