Not sure there is enough votes for it to happen but this is close enough that it will sting. Trump is going to crucify Rubio now
Anyway, this win is troubling for people who are anti Cruz because he isn't winning based on small rural evangelicals that normally propel a losing candidate in Iowa. He's winning the establishment counties
Solid turnout for Rand Paul coming in 5th, there were much more hyped candidates that did worse than that.
That's my point though, the counties that normally are representative were strong for Cruz, the opposite of what you expect
I disagree on both points. First, he had a bigger turnout than the polls suggested he would, second he finished in the top half of the field which means he is good going forward. As to him stepping aside, having him there is good for the conversation alone given that he's the best candidate on the issues. He steers the conversation where it should go and away from Trump nonsense.
