bad news for Cruz

he won Iowa.
Will he join the boneyard with the likes of former winners Santorum and Huckabee? The 1988 Bob Dole and the 1980 George HW?

Kind of makes a person wonder why a repug would want to win Iowa.

Well Mr. Calgary Cruz, here is hoping for a nice spiral downward.

That usually doesn't play as well elsewhere. But Crazy Cruz is a little different because he'll also get the gun nut and the extremist conservative votes. He's not someone you can right off like Huckleberry. The repug party has moved to the far right and Carnival Cruz is as far right as you can get.

Cruz maybe just looks crazier with his Elvis-like sneer
