Yeah, we all know how Huckabee and Santorum won in Iowa and breezed to the eventual nomination.

Oops, they didn't.

We'll see how this race looks after South Carolina.

Exactly! If Trump wins both, Cruz will be there to split the “anti-establishment” voters to pave the way for GOPe boy marco.

Iowa was a throwaway for Trump.

Few things. 1)Cruz was supposed to win Iowa. It was tailor made for him and his campaign. 2)Trump is not an evangelical. He wasn’t winning Iowa. 3) What scared Trump wasn’t Cruz, but Rubio.

Now that they are moving on to NH, the Establishment candidates are in play. This is where Trump needs to prove he can win.

NH and SC will be quite different.

This gives temporary momentum to Cruz, but the bigger issue is not the Cruz win, rather the Rubio surge.

The guy is going to absorb all the establishment/open borders money now.

It's a three way race, and it's likely Cruz and Rubio will go at each other during the next two primaries, to see if one can knock the other out.

Dicey, but kind of fun to watch.

I agree. This is so stupid.

I'm no big Trump supporter, but Iowa is completely irrelevant to the Republican race. Last night the ghouls on PMSNBC were lamenting how poor Trump was going to bounce back from this and recover.

He bounces back by winning New Halpshire by 20 points, and a majority of the other 49 states. The only consequence from last night is that Cruz gets 6 delegates and Trump gets 5. Whoop-tee-doo.

The media's fascination with this silly caucus process in Iowa overstates its importance by a factor of 1,000.
