Clinton and Cruz win Iowa caucuses

Hope you enjoy your new right-wing President - because that's exactly what you're getting if the results of yesterday's first-in-the-country Iowa caucuses are replicated nationwide.

Last night, the Democratic and Republican caucuses in Iowa were won by Hillary Clinton and Ted Cruz, respectively. It was a disappointing evening but not entirely unexpected. Granted, Clinton just barely won her caucus, and the margin was so slim that Bernie Sanders wants Iowa Democrats to count the actual number of votes, not just delegates.

I wasn't expecting Sanders to win, considering how much The Media hates his guts. But in the long run, Cruz will do more damage to the Republicans than Clinton will do to the Democrats. I repeat, that's in the long run. In more rural states, it may be too late.

It bears repeating: If we really had a "liberal media", a party led by Ted Cruz wouldn't even be a serious contender.
