Just two weeks to the first in the nation 2016 vote in the run for the White House. Iowa holds its caucus two weeks from today.
The candidates are on a tear through Iowa and New Hampshire which holds the first primary on February 9th.
On the left it’s Hillary Clinton versus Bernie Sanders. The numbers in Iowa and New Hampshire are as tight as can be, and the Clinton campaign is reportedly preparing for what the New York Times calls a “long slog,” and the possibility of losing both NH and IA.
On the GOP side, the gloves are off between Trump and Cruz.. who had been playing nice until Cruz overtook Trump in recent Iowa polls. Cruz unloaded on Trump at an event last night, and Trump has been nasty to Cruz in recent days.
It looks a big fight between Rubio, Christie, Bush and Kasich for number three in Iowa. New Hampshire looks to be fertile ground for Trump.
