Everybody needs to calm down. I’m speaking to myself. :) NH can’t get here fast enough. Praying Trump pulls Iowa out.

Too late. Trump is second place in Iowa.

Nobody has finished outside of the Top 3 in Iowa and gotten the GOP nomination. McCain had 13 pct, and eventually got the nod in 2008. GHW Bush had 19 pct in 1988.

Nobody has won the GOP nomination without finishing in the Top 2 in NH.

It doesn’t matter. Iowa isn’t a ‘winner take all’ state.

Right now, with 75% in, the top three each have five delegates to take with them to the convention.

This is ending with a 3-way tie.

Delegate count is all that matters.

I’m disappointed that Rubio has done so well, but that’s just saying that a third of the Iowans like the status quo. He’s the establishment candidate.
