Minority candidates win 60% of the Iowa GOP caucus. Two Hispanics (Cruz 28%, Rubio 23%) won over 50% of Iowa’s GOP caucus while African American candidate Dr. Ben Carson garnered 9% . That means that over 60% of Iowa GOP caucus voters cast their ballot for a minority candidate.

The other Iowa shocker is the statistical dead heat between Hillary and upstart challenger Bernie Sanders.

The race between Clinton and Sanders is still too close to call. Hillary took only 49.8% of the Democrat vote while Sanders won 49.6%, a virtual tie.

Wrap your head around the fact that Hillary could not win 50% of the Democrat vote against grouchy old Marxist Bernie Sander.

Hillary was supposed to win Iowa going away. That Sanders has tied Hillary in Iowa sends shock waves through the Democrat establishment.

The GOP’s so called angry white male candidate, Donald Trump, trailed Cruz, receiving 24%, less than one fourth of the GOP vote. Both Gov. Mike Huckabee and Democrat candidate Martin O’Malley ended their campaigns in the wake of the state’s vote.
