Even if Solar is painting too rosy a picture, as probably most of us believe, the recent incident of Trump boycotting the debate figures to be decisive. The "boycott" and the debate, taken together as two parts of the same event, will likely not be adequately factored in by the time the final polls are taken. Figure polling will run into Saturday for publication on Sunday, and they generally don't sample just two days, so we won't know the full effect. We could start to get some hints though out of polls released as early as tomorrow.

I would say the fallout has to hurt Trump, just depends how much -- the debate tomorrow night will determine much of that. I expect the other candidates to go after Trump hard every chance they get. No reason to let an opportunity like that go to waste.

The spin from the Trump crowd is just that -- spin. Trump messed up badly; got taken to school by Roger Ailes. The prevailing theme coming out of it is that Trump is too temperamental and erratic to be President, and that he's too quick to take offense. A lot of people see that he's just offering thin excuses -- that isn't just the opposition spin, it's the general perception. He can't win undecideds that way. Cruz, and in fact everyone else, will close stronger because of it.

The effect figures to go beyond just Iowa. This might have been -- probably was -- a defining moment for Trump. I wouldn't say that means he won't still win in New Hampshire (establishment state with the establishment vote split at least 4 ways), but it hinders him severely down the road.

The results in Iowa will tell us a lot about the future of the race. I expect Cruz to win, but I won't be comfortable until it actually happens. If Trump somehow manages to sneak through, it's still a long race, even after wins in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Yet in the eyes of his drones, he is God, and boycotting is seen and strength in the face of the Establishment.
Either way, it's a wash, because had he stayed in the debate, Cruz would have killed him, so he gambled between the worst of two options.
If anything, it cements his LIV even more.

So far to date, there isn't one defining issue, rather a hacking away at the base of the trump tree, all coming together in the end to fall the bigger than life ego that is Trump.
