Trump kept it short and sweet

Good decision

Yeah if you missed it was very tame.

Playing down expectations, they told me not to bother with Iowa but I came anyway! Congratulates other candidates, says he's going to keep going and beat Clinton or Bernie.

The end.

Trump is a shitbag, but that was a nice moment. Sort of a bizarro Howard Dean where he comes out of the loss looking like a better, more serious candidate than he went in.

LOL at anyone who though Trump would get ugly. He wasn't expected to win Iowa until the last week when Cruz took a poll nose dive.

The expectation for 1-2 months had been close loss in Iowa, win NH and SC.

If he loses NH, THEN he'll throw a hissy-fit.

Now that's how you do a concession speech.

Yeah but you don't give concession speeches in a primary contest, you do what Rubio did, ignore the results and deliver a victory speech.

Down came the glitches and burned us in ditches and we slept after eating our dead.
Optimal end points: Hillary loses after declaring victory, or Sanders loses by 1 delegate so people can blame his loss on a coin toss. Either way, is fun!

Care to explain how Cruz's massive Iowa ground game and 3-4 point Iowa win translate to him beating Trump in the NH primary where Trump has a 22% lead???

Don't take ol' Trumpster underperforming so hard. After all, it's to be expected that fascists don't like to vote.

Trump still has higher poll numbers, I guess Iowa likes him 5% less than Cruz.

Cruz will not win in the southern states minus Texas.

All part of the plan people. Reagan didn't do the debate, lost Iowa, and swept the nomination. Iowa doesn't pick winners. Not good company for Ted to be in. I'm actually quite happy I came in second. Think of it.
