Only one problem. Everyone, all pundits from FOX to CNN, said that if the turn out is a record it will be huge for Trump and Rubio an very bad for Cruz. Even the vast number of Trumpets here on FR said the same thing.
I watched and listened how they pointed out a high number of new voters would hurt Cruz and that Rubio could take second and Cruz third, with trump winning by 15% or more.
So, we get a record 183,000 voters in the Republican caucus, and what happened? Well, Cruz received a record number of votes. To me, that is Huge because he should have came in third, not first.
Spin it how you want, I go by what everyone said it would happen. Cruz was only supposed to win if the turn out was low.
Sorry, but Trump got trumped
What am I spinning?
Cruz won last night in a VERY evangelical state.
He won by 6000 votes.
6000 Iowa voters will NOT determine the outcome in other states.
In fact if you divide the number of votes Ted won by(6000)
by the number of caucus locations(1600)
Ted only won by 3.75 votes per caucus location.
Not that impressive for a state made for Cruz.
Iowa does not matter. No other state is like it.
