1. Trump blames ref for Iowa loss

I don’t believe I have been given any credit by the voters for self-funding* my campaign - Donald Trump

Summary

*Trump is not, of course, self-funding his campaign, having accepted $6.5m in individual contributions, according to the FEC. He HAS loaned his campaign about $12.6m. Sucker!

They give him money and then turn around and don’t give him credit for not taking money.

2. Cruz clicks heels after Iowa

Texas senator Ted Cruz received a standing ovation at his first New Hampshire event after his solid victory in Iowa. He now has seven days to overhaul Trump’s 22-point lead in the Granite State.

3. Rubio: the civilized alternative

After raising eyebrows by nearly tying Trump in Iowa, Florida senator Marco Rubio sees an opening with loyal Republicans who can’t quite get on the Cruz pontoon or the Trump train.

Summary

But it’s not a three-man race just yet, with Ohio governor John Kasich, New Jersey governor Chris Christie and sibling/son Jeb Bush all aching to score big next Tuesday.

4. Clinton declared Iowa victor

Unlike Al Gore, who conceded and then un-conceded the 2000 election, Hillary Clinton’s campaign last night prematurely declared an Iowa victory. But the results are now in and ... she did win!
