It would be Cruz vs. Bloomberg vs. Sanders.

False claims again by you!

1. It was purely rumor that Hillary won all the coin tosses. It's confirmed by the DNC that Bernie won several coin tosses.

2. Cnn entrance polls show Hillary (49.13%) with a lead over sanders (45.44%)
It was likely O'Malley's supporters who drew the race closer.

3. The final and adjudicated results released on Sunday confirmed Hillary as the winner of the Iowa caucuses.

With that said, he is appealing to minorities as well. It's becoming quite clear that Hillary won't attract African Americans at the same rate as Obama.
No, nothing wrong with that, but........actually, it IS trump's issue - not the blacks! It's trump that's runner big and needs all the votes he can get. You don't do that by alienatinglarge swaths of the population and by being divisive.

You win elections by appealing to as wide a selection of the electorate as possible. That includes young as well as old; gays as well as straight; women as well as men; middle class as well as working class; college educated as well as high school; minorities as well as whites. It's all about broad appeal an resonance. As for numbers and polls, it's far too early to put faith in those yet. Heck, neither party has even chosen their candidate yet! And polls are notoriously inaccurate.

When a 70+ year old socialist can beat Hillary Clinton, by such margins in NH, and bring it to a tie in a race that was supposed to be hers, then you have someone, who has serious issues.

Hillary is facing landslide losses.
Ha!
Maybe it's BERNIE you should be worried about then
As you so eloquently state, if a 70+ year old socialist can beat HRC, just think what he might do to your republican candidates............

Trump is not going to be the nominee even......it's all a sideshow. Read some of the overseas press and media on the subject. Sometimes, being outside the box looking in gives a totally different perspective. And I find that the overseas press gives an entirely unbiased (since they do not have a dog in the race) and fresh look at both US parties choices.

What group of voting eligible citizens has Trump tried to alienate?

That would be:

POWs;
Mexican-Americans, strike that, many Hispanics seem to take that as an insult to all of them;
Blacks;
Women;
Muslim Americans;
Handicapped;
Cuban-Americans;
Asian-Americans;

I know I missed a several . . . please add.
