Iowa Caucuses

Guest: David Anderson, PhD, Professor of Political Science at Iowa State University  Iowa Caucuses last night, Republican Ted Cruz bested Donald Trump and Marco Rubio came in at a much closer third place than polls anticipated. The rest of the large Republican field for president failed to get out of the single digit range for voters.  Meanwhile, Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders ended in a near tie with Clinton nabbing 49.9 percent of votes and Sanders 49.6 percent.  The question, of course, is now what? But before we turn our attention entirely to the New Hampshire primary next week, let’s see what we can learn if we move beyond the final vote tallies in Iowa last night.
