“There’s no point pretending it wasn’t a setback for the billionaire party-crasher. Who knows why it happened?”
Because Iowa is an evangelical state and Trump is not an evangelical? Because Cruz has been there campaigning as an evangelical for almost 3 years?
Other than that, I have no clue why Trump didn’t win Iowa.

Based on the record turnout, I would go for the easiest answer. The voters found Trump wanting and went with Cruz and Rubio instead.

It was because the blowhard who campaigned on "competence" incompetently managed his campaign.
It was because the sturdy Iowa folks recognize Trump for what he is, a walking Potemkin village.
It was because he couldn't close the deal.
