Your Trump was talking big and insulting everyone, especially Cruz. He swallowed a YOOOGE humble pill, but his supporters like you are still hoping his “lead” in NH holds up.
Fortunately, Cruz will carve him like thanksgiving turkey and Rubio the hyena will join in afterwards.
Trump is 22 points ahead of Cruz in New Hampshire, where conservative Christianity is a total non-starter. It's an extremely socially liberal state, one of the first to legalize homosexual marriage.
There's a regional element at work. New England is culturally closer to New York than it is to Texas (those New York values). Cruz's best scenario in New Hampshire is to exceed expectations to generate momentum going into South Carolina, which he has a chance of winning. But I don't see how he gains more than a few points in New Hampshire, the evangelical bench isn't that deep. RINO Rubio is the real threat to Trump there.
