So last night was the historic Iowa Caucus. This has been viewed in the past to be the true test to see which candidates really stand a chance in getting on the official ticket later this year.
with all the results in now, have you learned anything to help you with this year's election?

We learned that people are so excited about Hillary that a grumpy, disheveled, 74 year-old Socialist can take her all the way to the wire.
We learned that the riff-raff that had no chance to win are throwing in the towel. So far that includes Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, and Mike O'Malley. Governor Gilmore is on life support, and should be next in the coming days. It'll be interesting to see where their supporters go.
We learned that support for the "non-protest" vote seems to be coalescing around Senator Rubio at the expense of Jeb, Governor Christie, and Governor Kasich. In order for the latter three to live to fight another day, they will have to do much better in New Hampshire.
We learned that the coronation of Trump and Hillary was premature, and that this will go at least until Super Tuesday in March.
We learned that the party of "old white people" had two Hispanics and a black man as their top four finishers, and the party of "the little guy" is down to a two-horse race between two old white people. This does not bode well for the DNC, hoping to harness the coalition that sent President Obama to the White House twice.

SGT Efaw (Mick) G. - integrity is present, to be sure. I do not question that.
What is questionable are his ideas themselves.

Iowa may provide a short boost to Sanders and Cruz. Hillary still owns the machinary of the Dem party. GOP, The most likely outcome is the lift to Rubio over all other Establishment candidates. It will be interesting to see if Trump grows through the process and stops being the jerk he normally is on the campaign trail.

Party leaders can be a fickled bunch, if the voters push in another direction they will Hillary fast and hard. No one likes to be on a loser.

I have to admit the Caucuse is a confusing system. Anyone else confused about this method?

It looked comically unprofessional and inaccurate. There seemed to be a whole lot of "meh, close enough!" stuff going on.

what I found interesting was how the Dems can take delegates if someone doesn't make it to 15% plus the fact they want to declare HRC as the winner when its basically tied.
