Iowa Results

The HARD FACTS, Cruz wins Iowa, but did he?  The HARD DELEGATE COUNT is what matters at this point,

Delegates: Cruz 8, Trump 7, Rubio 7. Carson 3. Bush 1 . Fiorina 1

Acting in accordance with a mandate from the Republican National Committee, the delegates are bound on the first ballot to vote for candidates in proportion to the votes cast for each candidate at the caucus sites. [13]

Iowa has 50% success rate at predicting which Republican candidate for president will go on to win the nomination of their political party at that party's national convention, though they may more reliably indicate which ones are likely to drop out owing to lack of support.

So Cruz hasn’t really won anything yet, as the delegates from Iowa represents no more than 1% of the votes necessary for the nomination at the Convention. Be smart and don’t fall for the “talking heads” in the media, research and educate.

Iowa will send 27 delegates to the GOP National Convention.  If Bush and Fiorina drop out, then those 2 delegates will select a surviving candidate.

Rubio voted for the TPA.  That gave Obama “fast track” authority to finalize this treasonous trade treaty.  Cruz and Paul joined Sessions and voted NO.  Trump opposes the TPP as another bad trade agreement.  This trade deal would open our borders to unlimited immigration and replace US law.  A UN International trade court would control global trade policy, not sovereign nations. Rubio is the last “establishment” candidate left standing, so the establishment will push for Rubio.
