6233 votes.. is not small win.
Trump barely got second place.
Ted Cruz 51,649 votes
Donald J. Trump 45,416 votes
Marco Rubio 43,132 votes
Ted Cruz beat Trump by 6233 votes
Ted Cruz beat Rubio by 8517 votes
Donald Trump beat Rubio by only 2284 votes
So Cruz beat Trump by roughly 3x as many votes as Trump beat Rubio
This was a YUGE loss for Trump!!
Trump had no ground game in Iowa, what he has is a stadium filling made for tv spectacle.
I like Cruz, but he needs to clean up the creepiness factor. The over the top and stiffly delivered righteousness will wear thin if his is the nominee. Seen this movie too many times.
Regardless, he only got one more delegate than Trump. Chew on that.,
now he’s squeezed between Cruz and Rubio who has nipped his heels.....
