This will put a dent in Cruz, cost him some generic voters who might have been persuaded his way on Caucus night, but let's be honest: Cruz doesn't have very many establishment types backing him as it is. His volunteers, his organization, the strength of his campaign here are not Branstad fans.

I wonder what the point is of running, if it's doomed to fail. This isn't directed only to Cruz, but other candidates who seem satisfied to only court a small minority of voters. I'm sitting here as a moderate wondering, "is anyone even trying to win my vote?"
