I'd still be inclined to say Romney would have won.

Most of Trump's votes came from Romney/Santorum swing voters.

IMO, Gingrich wins if not much changes besides vote count. If the debates are changed a lot, Pawlenty or Huntsman may very well win IA/NH, especially since Huntsman's flaws and his dollar/tax deal "betrayal" wouldn't mean as much and Pawlenty may start the ObamneyCare saying.

Voted Trump by accident, meant Gingrich.

Gingrich, because trump would go after Romney the same way he went after Yeb! But since the GOP Primary Voters mostly just wanted Obama defeated more than anything else, trump would not gain ground and be laughed off.

This would pretty much give Gingrich the opening to do as he wants.
