The big takes so far:
Trump is real.
Cruz blew right through the nasty mailer and the ethanol issue.
Cruz is right about where everybody expected he would be in Iowa. He’s going to win or lose by a couple points and the race will continue.
You are right, Rubio is coming on strong.
LOL. Six gears in reverse......
No surprise to me that Rubio had some support. There still had to be some GOPe voters, and he’s the one in the barrel right now.
The surprise to me is that the most conservative guy in the race is probably going to win, and the most outspoken candidate about restoring America’s greatness is number 2. Over the rest of the remaining field, I think I would PREFER Rubio.
So, not a bad judgment on the part of Iowa tonight, it looks like. I had still kind of hoped to see Trump steamroller it, but oh well.
So the polls were right. Iowa is a tie and both candidates will walk away with the same number of delegates.
