Cruz soundly beats Trump in Iowa; Hillary edges past Bernie
by Rob Beschizza from on (#12NCS)
Ted Cruz, the right-wing psycho largely despised by his own party, prevailed yesterday over Donald Trump, the nativist inflatable Cheeto largely despised by everyone, to claim most of Iowa's Republican presidential candidate delegates.
On the Democrat side, Hillary Clinton, the shifty centrist who rarely says the same thing twice, narrowly edged a .3% margin over Bernie Sanders, the disheveled pinko grandpa.
With the whiff of Pyrrhic victory-22 delegates to Sanders' 21-it's a tantalizing suggestion of that rare thing in Anglosphere politics: interesting choices.
