1 winner and 3 losers from the Iowa caucuses

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : But the central political fact of the past eight and a half years has been the unshakable loyalty to Trump demonstrated by much of the GOP base.
54% : If non-college-educated Republicans overwhelmingly reject Haley, then she can't win the GOP nomination -- it's that simple.
53% : Nikki Haley wanted a solid second-place showing but ended up in third place, with some limitations in her support base -- her failure to appeal to non-college-educated Republicans -- very apparent.
53% : For months, Trump has led every national poll of the GOP primary, and every poll of every key state.
45% : Vivek Ramaswamy wanted to show his campaign was for real, but he didn't, and soon announced he was quitting the race and endorsing Trump.
45% : Trump was far ahead of both, with 51 percent.
45% : That's good news for Trump going forward: There wasn't any sort of massive, unnoticed sea change in the GOP electorate in which voters abandoned him.
45% : Trump hasn't locked down the race yet, of course; Iowa is just one state.
44% : The final RealClearPolitics polling average had Trump at 52.5 percent of the vote.
41% : He'd peel off some voters from the right, assuring them that he's a more solid and effective conservative than Trump.
39% : As for Trump?
30% : None of the GOP presidential candidates got what they wanted out of the Iowa caucuses -- except for Donald Trump.
24% : DeSantis had a theory that he could defeat Trump with, effectively, a pincer movement.
