1. Results of Iowa Caucus: Sanders and Clinton in a close tie only broken by coin flips in favor of Clinton; Ted Cruz got first over a essentially tied Trump and Rubio. Bernie's relative success is part of Clinton's failure to connect with the younger voters, who are a huge demographic. Ted Cruz's success over Trump is surprising, along with Rubio's sudden uprising, Cruz credits his to a large grass roots campaign, while Rubio's sudden momentum is a bit of a mystery.
2. Predictions:
I think that Bernie's campaign has definitely peaked in notoriety, now all it is is a matter of showing people that Bernie is capable of drawing in enough votes to combat the Republicans for the presidency. Donald Trump will do something outlandish again, but enough conservatives will vote for Ted Cruz in the primaries.
I read today that Rubio or Cruz will surpass Trump only when one of them (Rubio or Cruz) withdraws from the race. I can't imagine the behind-the-scenes negotiations that might be occurring between those two camps. 100
