Pollsters Blew It In Iowa As Cruz And Rubio Surge

Trump rolled the campaign dice and skipped the last debate

His support in Iowa quickly to abate

Cruz had the ground game to insure his win

Ground game trumped rallies as the Donald may have started his tailspin

Trump was brief and  gracious in his three minute concession speech

Will the business man make his campaign great again in order to a win in New Hampshire reach?

Once again the pollsters had it wrong as to Trump and missed the Rubio surge

Record turnout of new voters as the Red vote the Establishment continues to purge

Bush spent millions and yet finished far back in the pack

Mortally wounded by Trump’s unrelenting personal attacks

Huckabee dropped out due to illness that after the results he revealed

Not his thank God but rather the voters now sick of him that not even Doctor Carson could heal

The rest of the single digit pact vowed to head to the first primary state with a brave and resolute face

Hard to believe that there are any comeback kids present and very soon many will be dropping out of the race

On the Blue side Hillary barely eked out victory which was razor thin

Even had to rely on six coin tosses to aid in her win

Compared to the general in the fall, the vote in Iowa was cast by the very few

Something wrong where the Red’s race may be over before the later primaries come into view
