After a very short concession speech by Donald Trump, it was winner Ted Cruz’s turn to declare victory and thanks his staff and supporters. Helped to victory by evangelicals, Cruz didn’t hesitate to interject God into his speech from the very beginning and all the way throughout.
Cruz begins victory speech: "God bless the great state of Iowa….To God be the glory." #IowaCaucus

Cruz speech heavy on religion aimed at southern states. Not New Hampshire.

While Trump gave one of the shortest speeches ever, Cruz took his time.
