Cruz: Surge in SC as backlash against a "Trump coronation" (a la Gingrich 2012 against the Romney coronation), ride the wave of momentum to victories in the SEC states
That's a totally inaccurate comparison.
Well, it's not a perfect comparison obviously. But Gingrich's landslide win I thought had as much to do with a conservative backlash at Romney being crowned inevitable nominee after his wins in IA/NH (or "win" in the case of IA) as it had to do with Gingrich's stellar debate performance. What's your take on it?
