The Iowa Primary
Why do I feel so ho hum
now that the vote has finally come?
I'm not sure I got the iowa caucus.
Along with B,C,C, H and T in order alphabetical
and others with views more or less heretical,
it seems that H has narrowly defeated B
and C decisively put down T
though I'm not sure what this all means to me.
Wouldn't things be better---
if instead of the blah blah blah
there were some other letter
for which to rah rah rah?

Bernie and Hillary in virtual tie, Cruz wins Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a fiery conservative loathed by his own party’s leaders,swept to victory in Iowa’s Republican caucuses Monday, overcoming billionaire Donald Trump and a stronger-than-expected showing by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Among Democrats, Bernie Sanders rode a wave of voter enthusiasm to a virtual tie with Hillary Clinton, long considered her party’s front-runner.
Cruz’s victory over Trump was a testament to his massive get-out-the-vote operation in Iowa and the months he spent wooing the state’s influential conservative and evangelical leaders.

“Iowa has sent notice that the Republican nominee and next president of the United States will not be chosen by the media, will not be chosen by the Washington establishment,” Cruz said.
His comments were echoed by Sanders, underscoring the degree to which voter frustration with the political system has crossed party lines in the 2016 campaign.
