What happened in NH? The “big buffoon” demolished the field. SC, like NH, is not a caucus state. We just go to the polls and vote. I am waiting for the excuses after SC. Cruz reached his high water mark in Iowa.
I see Rubio or Bush beating Cruz for second place in SC. Rubio has been flooding the airways with ads featuring Tim Scott and Trey Gowdy endorsing him. Jeb has Dubya and Graham stumping for him. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Gov Haley endorse Rubio or Bush. SC is going to be bloody.
Trump trounced everybody in a liberal state. But trounced means Trump got 35%. In a two man race in Iowa Cruz trounced Trump. So thus far we know that Cruz wins wit Midwestern conservatives and Trump wins with Northeastern moderates and independents.
After SC we will know more but not enough. We will only know who is likely to emegete when I’d devolves into a two man race.
Amount of money spent in NH GOP primaries:
Cruz $580 000
Trump $3.7 M
Rubio $18 M
Kasich $12M
Jeb Bush $26 M
Cruz barely broke sweat in NH and still beat Rubio and Jeb Bush who spent over THIRTY TO FIFTY TIMES as much money as he did.
Now watch Cruz do his thing in South Carolina.
