It's a Tuesday, and here we are the day after the Iowa caucuses, and as you can see, I'm a much happier Ben Shapiro today. We'll talk all about it. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro show.

The honest, I tend to demonize people who don't care about your feelings.

So here we are. We have ourselves a race. Donald Trump goes down to flaming defeat in Iowa. And it was a

flaming defeat in Iowa. Donald Trump had, he dealt with it relatively well yesterday, but then he sort of had a

meltdown this morning. We'll talk about it. First, for those who were in a cave, here were the actual

results. And here's how they differed from the polls beforehand. Before what happened in Iowa, the polls were Trump, 28.6, this is the real clear politics average.

Trump, 28.6, Cruz 23.9, Rubio 16.9. The final results, Trump, 24.3, so he was down 4.3% from his

estimate. Cruz, 27.7, which means that he was up at 3.8% from his estimate.

And the biggest jump of the night belonged to Marco Rubio, who jumped 6.2% all the way up to 23.1%, barely coming in third behind Donald Trump.

It was actually very close.

So what this means, of course, is that Cruz has some

momentum coming out of Iowa. It means that Rubio has some serious momentum coming out of Iowa.

And it means that Trump, the God bleeds. I mean, he's not invulnerable. And we're about to see

whether Donald Trump has a glass jaw in New Hampshire. Now, remember, Donald Trump currently has,

according to that same real clear politics average, a 22-point lead in New Hampshire.

But that also relies on the fact that there are four or five candidates tied up all around 11, 12%.

That would be Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, John Kasich.

A lot of people who are hanging around right there.

And because there are so many people who are hanging around in that position, they've sort of

been dragging each other down.

Well, now that Rubio and Cruz are emerging as frontrunners, or at least people capable of

emerging, you could see a fade in support for Donald Trump and arise for either one of those two.
