Making the Constitution great again!
Some have caused the Iowa result "bursting Trump's bubble". But not so fast. The New Hampshire polls suggest Trump has an overwhelming advantage over his primary rival. As does Sanders over Hillary, btw.
I've heard that Rubio's 3rd place was a surprise, but, given the last time he showed up in Iowa, and his Evangelical backing, I'd say neither this, nor Cruz' win is a surprise. Besides, Rubio could thank Rove-Fox a big thank you for their overwhelming bias in his favor.
Anyway. Your thoughts on the result? And on what's coming ahead? Which candidates does the early primaries' schedule favor, given the specific composition of their constituency? It's of course way too early to make a call, what with the changing leaders on the right and the tight battle on the left. I'd say Rubio is not to be written off just yet - the conservative establishment has demonstrated they hate both GOP front-runners, after all. In the end, it's going to come down to establishment vs anti-establishment. Curiously, on both ends.
And because we're about Charts&Maps this month, here's an interesting specimen, showing how the states have voted at the presidential elections over the years.
