We better...
We will.
It’s pretty remarkable that Trump is only at 30%. I don’t see very many supporters of any of the other candidates flocking to him when their guys drop out.
With Cruz polling very well in the March states, it still looks like a 3 man race almost irrespective of what happens in NH: Cruz, Trump and a Player-To-Be-Named-Later.
The only exception would be that if Cruz should somehow finish 2nd even with the nonstop media BS about poor Ben Carson getting jobbed over the last week, it would be a very strong statement about his organization. In fact, if he should finish 2nd, I don’t see how there’s even a 3rd viable candidate at this point.

Might work if CNN reported it, but he doesn’t make things up about people.
In all the Iowa polls, Trump polled much higher than his actual numbers, I think he’ll still win but only because the field is so very splintered.
My prediction: Trump wins with 30%, but 70% of GOP voters go with somebody else.
Hillary pulls it out, like Iowa, 1% difference.
No way is this campaign close to over. And remember, these early states are all proportional, so delegates counts are going to be pretty flat. In March, the winner-take-all states start. —Florida: 99 delegates: —compare with Iowa: Cruz 8, Trump 7, Rubio 7, a couple onuses-twosies, and the 3 automatic unpledged delegates which are the 3 state GOP leaders (pretty much standard for every state).
If Trump underperforms like he did Iowa, he'll struggle to get to 30, but I think he will "just" make it.
And the story will still be about 2nd-3rd-4th-5th, which will be closely bunched.
Kasich has a lot riding on NH, he’s practically lived there for the last 10 months.
