Iowa was a three way tie. Cruz got 8 delegates, Trump 7 and Rubio got 7.

Cruz didn’t win, and Trump nor Rubio lost. It was a tie. And I see this as very reflective of the current state of the GOP.

Trump pulled roughly 1/3 of the GOP with mostly anti-establishment voters.

Cruz pulled roughly 1/3 with conservatives

Rubio pulled the establishment voters.

Uh, yeah. That is the lamest spin ever. He didn’t win the war, but he sure as hell won the battle. Cruz won by 8,000 votes. And now leads in the delegate count. And proved he could withstand the worst sh!+storm flung at him in any primary contest ever. And is now THE alternative to a candidate with the highest disapproval ratings ever recorded in the history of presidential polling.

ALL: If the Broncos beat the Panthers by a point in the SuperBowl, I'd be wary of Taxcontrol's potential posting that the game was a "tie."

“Cruz didn’t win”

I’m not sure where you learned math, but 8 > 7, so Cruz won. Deal with it.
