Why a Trump Victory in Iowa Would Matter So Much

Ted Cruz was thought to be an easy favorite in Iowa. Now it’s not nearly as clear. …

Mr. Cruz is also thought to have a considerable organizational advantage over Mr. Trump, who may be dependent on low-turnout voters.

But the increasing possibility that Mr. Trump will win the state — in no small part because of an improbable alliance with the party’s establishment — makes Mr. Trump’s path to the nomination far more plausible than ever before. CONT.
