At many of those sites. Sot tonight is a victory for courageous conservatives across iowa, and all across this great nation. In the republican race ted cruz had branded himself as the true conservative in his battle with donald trump. And his retail politics, and heavy courting of the evangelical vote gave him a win. Meanwhile, trump perhaps the most humble weve seen him in this race thanked the iowa supporters for his second place finish. Sot i was told by everybody do not go to iowa. You couldnt finish in the top ten. I said i have friends in iowa, i know a lot of people in iowa, i think theyll really like me. On the democratic side a virtual tie. Hillary clinton did not suffer a loss like 8 years ago, but the results marked a stunning turn from the solid lead she held in the polls here late last year. Clinton acknowledging a real challenge from sanders, and sanders applauding how far his sots it is rare that we have the opportunity we do now to have a real contest of ideas. To really think hard about what the Democratic Party stands for. If i think about what happened tonight, i think the people of iowa have sent a very profound message to the political establishment. Karin on cam and as is usually the case after this first contest, we did see some candidates exit the race. Former Maryland GovernorMartin Omalley, who failed to gain traction for his democratic bid suspended his campaign monday night. On the republican side, Mike Huckabee failed to turn a 2008 caucus win into 2016 success has also announced his exit from the race. In des moines, iowa, im karin caifa. The question now is how the campaigning before the palmetto states very important primaries. Our chad mills talked to a couple of political experts. First question to the experts is too much emphasis placed on iowa . Political expert scott malyerck. We put way too much emphasis on the caucuses, i think, because its really a test of organization ability. Can you organize your folks . Can you get them to go out and caucus in somebodys home and stick with you . Malyerck points to past gop winners like huckabee and santorum, who ultimately failed to capture the nomination. Usc Political Science todd shaw has a bit of a different take. Iowa is not bellwether in all cases, but lets keep in mind that iowa sort of set a tone for obamas election in 2008 that, if he had voters in South Carolina would have been a little less sanguine about his chances. Next question could the group of candidates in the South Carolina primary be smaller than in iowa and New Hampshire . Probably by New Hampshire youll begin to see candidates, particularly, you know, folks who keep making it to the second debate, really think about their chances. You have to ask yourself, do we stick it out . Do we hope against all hope that were going to do well in New Hampshire . i think after New Hampshire, youll definitely start to see people drop out before they get to South Carolina. A few other points, shaw says South Carolina will become very important to Hillary Clinton if she does poorly in iowa and New Hampshire. South carolina has to become because South Carolina has a large, you know, africanamerican population, of course, and that population is critical to the Democratic Party and its coalition, itll be some indication about that coalition or that coalition especially South Carolina. Carolina in conservative senate seems to be attracting liberal that was chad mills reporting. Shaw also talked about trumps strong lead in states like South Carolina. He says that support seems so strong that its transcending questions of whether or not trump is actually a rino which stands for republican in name only.
