Who was running against about 20 candidates?

Check the total votes by party.

In Iowa there were 12 GOP candidates.
The Dems had 3. Two really.

In NH there were 11 GOP candidates (15 actually, but only 11 got votes)
The Dems had 2.

In SC the GOP had 6.
The Dems had two.

The main GOP candidates in NH got 252,000 votes.
The Dems 247,000 - a 13% drop in 4 years.

In SC the Dems got 368,000 - it was 532,000 in '08
The GOP got 738,000

In Iowa:
Dems: 171,00 - it was 240,000 in 2008.
GOP: 185,000

In Nevada:
GOP: 75,000
Dems: 80,000 - which was a fall of 33% since 2008

Still sure high fives all 'round is the appropriate response?
