Ted Cruz's Spokesman: Cruz's Win Proof that Trump Voters Don't existABC's JESSICA HOPPER: Following the projection of Ted Cruz as winner of the Iowa Caucuses, spokesman Rick Tyler told reporters off camera that tonight is proof the “Trump voters” are not real.“The question on everybody’s mind…everyone watching the race were are Trump voters real and it turns out they are not. They weren’t real today, they won’t be real next week and they weren’t real next week,” Tyler said.Tyler said the campaign’s ground game led to victory but admitted they had some concern about expanded voter turnout hurting them."We had a little nervous trepidation about a lot of new voters coming but it turns out that a lot of new voters that came out in the process educated themselves about the candidate and that in the end benefited us,” Tyler said.Tyler said that Rubio will leave Iowa with his fundraising arm hurt. He talked how the Cruz campaign will carry their victory to New Hampshire.

Trump's Loss Deflates StaffABC's JEFF NAFT and JOHN SANTUCCI: To the outside world, Donald Trump is a "yuge"
winner. To his followers, Trump is the problem solver that Washington desperately needs. The billionaire mogul boasts about having the solution to almost every major economic and foreign policy issue and he brags about not being beholden to the lobbyists and special interests that plague the democratic process. The billionaire mogul's loss tonight in Iowa deflated his usually cheerful and enthusiastic staffers. Trump's team did a complete 180 tonight. A high level source on Trump's Iowa team told ABC News only they're 'not well' right now." Losing Iowa is a huge blow to Trump's campaign team, specifically Trump's state director Chuck Laudner who delivered a win to former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in 2008 and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum in 2012. -
