It’s true. Cruz just today was saying “ this is going to be like Iowa”. They thought they had this.
They made a mistake if they thought that, because the history of South Carolina in recent GOP primaries doesn’t line up with Iowa. Huckabee and Santorum both lost it too.
Although Santorum lost in the end, he had less money than Cruz, he had a few favorable states pushed back to May that Cruz has in March (like Texas) and Cruz arguably is more respected on policy outside of social conservatism than Santorum is.
Cruz is poised for a real comeback in March.
After listening to that Ricky Tyler last night - Ugh, no wonder Cruz is having such a hard time. He is one nasty person. Cruz needs to ditch him - he isn’t doing his candidate any favors.
