Why Ted Cruz is now the Republican frontrunner





Jason Johnson, Cruz's chief strategist, told the Washington Examiner that he considered Cruz's third place finish a victory for the campaign. Johnson said the Granite State provided Florida Sen. Marco Rubio the opportunity to defeat Donald Trump and the senator failed to do so.

"You look at how much time each candidate has spent in the state and how much each candidate has, time spent and money spent, no one performed better than Cruz tonight." Johnson said. "I can tell you internally from looking at the numbers, second wasn't in the cards. Our goal was simple and that was to be in the top tier in a state that has been traditionally very friendly to the establishment."
