Robertson 's campaign got off to a strong second-place finish in the Iowa caucus , ahead of Bush . He did poorly in the subsequent New Hampshire primary , however , and was unable to be competitive once the multiple-state primaries began . Robertson ended his campaign before the primaries were finished . His best finish was in Washington , winning the majority of caucus delegates . He later spoke at the 1988 Republican National Convention in New Orleans and told his remaining supporters to cast their votes for Bush , who ended up winning the nomination and the election . He then returned to CBN and has remained there as a religious broadcaster
