Instead of a mostly settled Democratic race and a battle royale in the GOP, we have a head to head fight in the GOP and a Democratic race that changes every minute.

Iowans take into account how candidates campaign, too. But that fight may be a little less feisty now that Trump has regained his lead over Cruz in Iowa.
There isn’t much science behind Iowa caucuses. “On caucus night we will get to hear from voters in an industrial Midwestern county as well as Iowa”.
Indeed, most people outside of the United States would probably have a hard time locating Iowa on a map. In the case of Sen.
The students all leaned in favor of Democrat Bernie Sanders but said they were eager to watch GOP supporters in action Monday. On the other side of the aisle, Trump drives crowds. The events are scattered across the entire state but include volunteer canvassing, meet and greets at Iowa diners, and special townhalls with Iowa leaders. Ethanol is a big deal and it is the fault line between Cruz and Trump. Politically, that may not be smart, but it is courageous. Iowa has been a battleground in most campaigns since then.
The Iowa Caucuses have played an important role historically in determining who will be each party’s candidate. He is poised for potential upsets of the front-runner, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in the first two voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire.
The caucuses begin to winnow down the field. For the Democratic nomination and for the general this year, they’re insignificant. But in order for that not to happen, somebody is going to need to emerge as the Rockefeller Republican – the electable one.
After Iowa, the candidates will move on to the New Hampshire primary, set for February 9th. Whoever comes in second is that emerging establishment candidate.
Iowa has not favored establishment-moderate candidates historically, so Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and John Kasich will not do well. Marco Rubio’s bid for the White House. “My guess is that there are at most three and maybe only two tickets out of Iowa, and certainly only two out of New Hampshire”.
D’Alessandro further told the network that the campaign will simultaneously use their own system due to an apparent mistrust of Microsoft’s offering. “Definitely a once in a lifetime kind of thing”, said Allinger. Hillary is going on and one of these establishment Republicans will go on.
The problem with the primaries, then, does not seem to lie in their distortion of political outcomes, but rather in their arbitrary, traditional basis that just adds one layer of complexity to convoluted world of politics.
I have to be honest.
If Bernie does win the nomination, and ultimately the presidency, I hope he remembers this moment and decides to mandate open source in the U.S. government.
However, Trump, the Iowa and national front-runner, stated he will not take part in Thursday’s debate due to his repeated criticism of Fox News’ Megyn Kelly.
In both 1972 and 1976, “Uncommitted” won the contest with more than a third of Democratic caucus goers.
Each campaign gets the chance to have a representative make a final pitch to any wavering voters before a secret ballot.

This year, they’re looking to make sure there are no mistakes in the reporting process. “If they do well on Super Tuesday, Iowa and New Hampshire are forgotten”.
