2016. it is against the rules, but ted cruz is in iowa right now. and iowa republicans are kind of at war with themselves right now. the state's republican governor is now talking nationally about how he is leading an effort inside the republican party in iowa to try to reclaim the party from the social conservatives who have taken over in iowa and who especially have dominated the states presidential -- states like mike huckabee and santorum are now winning not just straw polls of conservative activists in aiiowa, but they'r winning the iowa republican caucuses. sort of. maybe. it's gotten hard to tell who has won recently because that has occurred simultaneously with the caucus collapsing on the republican side.
