I am not surprised but I am surprised he won with the margins he did and same wit Rubios strong third very close to second place showing. But I think the way Iowa caucuses is the least representative way to come to a true conclusion on how people will vote in the general election and I offer the previous winners of the Iowa caucus Santorum and Huckabee as proof that the Iowa caucus is less than relevant.
Imagine yourself last night walking into the local gymnasium and seeing where everyone before you is standing. Over by the Cruz flag is your pastor, your boss, your high school sweetheart, your alderman and a scattering of your close neighbors. Over by the Trump flag is the banker, stockbroker, execs from the Con Agra corporation, college kids wearing Apprentice T-shirts…where do you think many will stand given the obvious peer pressure of the moment? I truly believe voters will tend to vote with their gut when given the privacy to cast their vote.
