He only apologized for his campaign not being quicker about getting the word out that Carson was staying in the race. But by then the caucus was under way and chaos ruled the day...

Maybe, but we know the polls were wrong in Iowa, rather dramatically.

Cruz, Rubio, and Carson all overperformed and Trump underperformed.

With 33 percent undecided, the same COULD happen in New Hampshire. I’m not betting on it, but it’s always possible.

Trump owns the media, Cruz is owned BY the media. They haven’t even started warming up on him because if they could push Rubio in front of Cruz they wouldn’t have to.

You seem to think the real world is like FR. Look around, Cruz is only able to make his case to a fraction of those on FR, much less the real low information types who won’t give a crap about the election until a day or two beforehand.

Go Trump!

Cruz backer here, but in all reality, Hillary’s chances of being indicted are greater than Ted’s are of winning tonight.

So - You are saying we have a chance . . .

Ha. But I agree with you.

I am a Cruz supporter.
I like the confidence
I also like reality.
Nothing I’ve seen tells me that Cruz takes NH.
A good ground game?
That’s good but will it be good enough?

You don’t understand. Cruz has no right to beat The Don. The Don is a winner and winners win. If he doesn’t win, it’s not OK because he’s a winner. Just beating him is itself a dirty trick and must be investigated. The Don lost, so obviously there must be a do-over.

Iowa also had a lot of late-breaking decisions and they didn’t go for Trump, which probably cost him the win there.

In fact, both Cruz and Rubio got more of the late-breaking voters than Trump.

I think this is a mistake, over confidence, reminds me of W campaigning in CA in 2000 on the last weekend when he should have been in Florida.

It’s unlikely, but it’s a non-zero probability. He wasn’t supposed to win Iowa, either.

Like Iowa was a throwaway for Trump, NH is a throwaway for Cruz. The real fun starts once they hit South Carolina. Iowa and NH identify the two candidates the media needs to take out so Bush can lose against the rat in November.

[[Can you imagine if Ted Cruz upsets all the polls and talking heads yet again! LOL!!!]]

IF that happens, look for the msm and trumpies to paint Cruz as the Anti-Christ

Leaning Cruz but thinking 5th is where he will finish. Hoping for higher.

Listened to several reports today and was amazed how they talked aboout Trump and his lead, Rubio coming on, Bush with surprising support, and Kasich and Christie may surprise. Zero, nada nothing zip about the Iowa winner Cruz.

Then again, they did this before early in the season. Polls would come out and they would list top 5 nationally. When Cruz hit number 5, the MSM then reported only the top three with so and so “just outside”. When Cruz hit #4 it was just the top three reported on. When Cruz hit #3, it was a Trump/Carson battle. Only when he was #2 did he ever IMHO start to get some more mentions.

Cruz is hated by all the right (GOP-e) people which is why I lean that way. I do like Trump’s words on the wall/immigration/muslims. Don’t think it would be mentioned as much without him.

Already happened. If by some miracle he won New Hampshire (which he won't) He would be called by many Freepers here, and by the liberal press - Equal to Evil Bush/Cheney combined !!!!!

New Hampshire sees itself as sooooo much wiser than those Iowan hayseeds. No way would they endorse Cruz.

And I think NH has the least devout voters/residents. Doesn’t play well for Ted, but I think he’ll surprise.
