#5064: Anything less than clear defeat is a win for Trump.

Cruz is supported by the GOP machine, which would rather elect Hillary than let Trump win, yet from here it looks as if Trump managed to keep Cruz's victory to a slim margin--four percent--and on the GOP side, very seldom does the Iowa caucus winner go on to win the election.

Coming in second against the machine favorite does not mean Trump is done for. I have a feeling the next primary will be different.
