Well, half the GOP voters made up their mind today according to exit polls— I suppose anyone of the top 5 could win...
If that’s the case, the person with the good ground game would benefit. You make contact with voters that last day before voting, as Cruz’s volunteers did, and the late-breaking folks may break for you. Iowa also had a lot of late-breaking decisions and they didn’t go for Trump, which probably cost him the win there.
We’ll see what happens.
I’ll tell you one thing though. I am sick of the venom. We have way too much at stake to make a game out of this. But then, I hate politics. What I like is government that simply does its job. Either Trump or Cruz could probably do a good job, and any of the candidates would be better than the D alternative.
