The Iowa caucuses are hardly a predictor of what lies ahead. Voter turnout was reported to have broken records, revealing voter enthusiasm in both parties.

The fight for second place between Cruz, Rubio and Kasich remained within the survey’s margin of sampling error.
“Tonight is a victory for courageous conservatives”, Cruz said.
But Cruz wasn’t the only Republican who did better than expected.
Meanwhile, Marco Rubio is also seeing a surge in support. Rubio’s appeal was to the head.
Rubio said he looked forward to teaming up with Santorum.
Can Donald Trump bounce back?
“Last night when our political team saw the CNN post saying that Dr. Carson was not carrying on to New Hampshire and SC, our campaign updated grassroots leaders just as we would with any breaking news story”, Cruz said in a statement first shared with CNN.
At one point, Trump used the major hotel project he’s working on in Washington to crack a joke about losing the 2016 race.
Clinton supporters on campus said they were nervous about the closeness of the caucus results but were still optimistic about her future chances in the election process.
The spleen happens to be a body part that can be removed when it becomes a problem. Other Republicans are hammering Rubio for being too inexperienced. Bernie Sanders, before going home with a narrow win over the Vermont senator. Hillary Clinton got 28 delegates, Mr Sanders got 21. Early Tuesday morning, the Iowa Democratic party called the “historically close” race for Clinton, who received 49.9 percent of the vote to Sanders’ 49.6 percent.
Well had then-Senator Obama started by carrying Iowa, New Hampshire, and SC, the Democratic race probably would have been over sooner. Since that poll, Trump has lost 5 points, Rubio has gained 8, and Cruz has dropped one point. Cruz’s radical views and uncompromising tactics horrify Republican insiders.
The expectations game may be silly in the abstract, but it concretizes if there’s real money behind it. Right to Rise formalized Rubio’s standard by throwing a lot of money behind its position, and now Rubio is collecting his winnings. It’s sponsored by PBS and the Wisconsin Democratic Party. Chris Christie of New Jersey and John Kasich of OH – have focused on New Hampshire to challenge Mr. Rubio for the party’s establishment label, and they need to put up or shut up there. In contrast, Trump opted for large rallies over intimate settings and extended personal interactions with voters, jetting in and out on his private jet and rarely spending the night in the state. “They know that if I’m our nominee, they lose”. Forum to watch the results come in for the Iowa caucuses, the first election of the presidential election year. Two-thirds of them voted for Clinton.
At the same town hall, Christie said that in a debate with Hillary Clinton he would “beat her rear end on that stage.” Democrats, Trump contends, would be quick to sue to challenge Cruz’s place on the ballot.
Donald Trump wants to Make Second Place Great Again.
