I’m most interested to see if my theory was right that Ted Cruz would pay a fatal price for being hated by everyone. No matter how unpopular the Republican Establishment is, they still have a lot of influence. And it matters that people are more interested in seeing that Cruz doesn’t come in second in Iowa than they are in assuring that Trump doesn’t come in first.
But Cruz has invested in a ground game and made a lot of connections with influential people in the state.
Something’s gotta give.
