Again that's New Hampshire. In Iowa Cruz crushed Trump amongst evangelicals and conservatives.

Again Iowa and South Carolina have vastly more conservatives and evangelicals than New Hampshire. Again New Hampshire is the least religious state in the entire country. Again New Hampshire is the 5th most liberal state in the country. Again Ted Cruzcame 3rd after spending just $580K vs. $32M for Bush, who came 4th, and over $10 million spent by Rubio who came 5th.
Again Ted Cruz has a better ground game in South Carolina than anyone else. Again Ted Cruz has more cash on hand than Jeb, Rubio, Kasic and Christie combined.

You seem to not be understanding the problem: Trump didn't lose the conservative or evangelical vote in New Hampshire. He dominated that demo very easily. 70 percent of New Hampshire's primary voters were conservative, with 25 percent being "very," and the rest just conservative or slightly so. So it doesn't really matter how many conservatives or evangelicals you have. If we limited the race in New Hampshire to just those voters, Cruz's numbers only improve by 3 points. If we limit voters to just "very conservative" voters, Cruz's numbers improve to 23 percent, but Trump still wins with a 12 point lead.

Again Ted Cruz has a better ground game in South Carolina than anyone else.

Cruz was boasting up his ground game in New Hampshire, but still lost. Immediately after Iowa, he boasted that Trump's supporters didn't really exist and that he would win New Hampshire. He didn't. And as for South Carolina, Trump's ground game in SC is even bigger than Iowa or NH. It's also a primary, not a caucus, so ground games aren't even as important to begin with.
