The Election as it Stands Now

Wow what a week it was in politics, a lot went down from the Iowa caucuses, to the end of a run for 3 candidates. First off the Iowa caucuses didn't truly go as planned, for one Hillary and Bernie were in a "virtual tie" basically meaning that the race was too close to call. And in typical democratic fashion the race was decided by money... a coin toss, six coin tosses to be exact and some how Hillary won each toss. I call B.S. I don't believe for a second that she won all of the coin tosses, but that is just me. On the Republican side Ted Cruz won with over 41k votes the most in Iowa caucus history, Donald Trump narrowly beat Marco Rubio for 2nd place. Marco Rubio was estimated to to receive
14% of the vote he ended up getting 23%. In other news to know ones surprise Martin O'Malley drops out, Martin had no chance what so ever and he knew it the whole time. Rick Santorum and Rand Paul also dropped out due to their performance in the caucuses. Rand Paul gave it his best shot, but in the end he didn't have the support to continue, I do expect Rand to endorse Ted and make a run for a vice president. Rick was a ticking time bomb and it was only a matter of time before he was going to have to surrender. I believe that Carly Florina, and John Kasich are next to surrender because of their performance in the caucuses.


New Hampshire is next for the caucuses, I predict Ted Cruz to win this next one handily along with Bernie Sanders beating Hillary as well. I also believe that Marco Rubio will beat Trump this time for 2nd place.
