I've been saying Cruz would win for months.

He had the best ground game and the evangelicals.
Iowa is different than a real primary. And one of the reasons it is meaningless.
Cruz has been setting up his campaign there for a years, he had the organization there. Trump really didn't
Let's see what happens in NH and SC for the real race.

Sadly, Cruz is Far Right, and I wish he would go away.

it is so different from Iowa.
Do the Trump supporters actually come out and vote?
Do the "other than Cruz or Trump" votes gravitate to Rubio?
I don't see Trump ever getting more than 40%, but that might be enough to win.
Cruz's holly roller act doesn't work as well in NH, but it might in SC.
I think the polls closer to the Primary will indicate what is happening.
