Bernie Sanders’ near tie with Hillary Clinton in the Iowa caucuses on Monday shows that US voters are revolting against the establishment, against politicians, and are determined to take their power back, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has said. Sputniknews.com reports: Sanders has long been dismissed by political pundits and trailed Clinton by as much as 40 percentage points just a few months ago. But on Tuesday morning, results showed that Clinton only narrowly won in Iowa, 49.8% to 49.6%.

If Donald Trump has distanced himself from some of the positions held by two of the powerful wings of the conservative movement—free marketeers and evangelical Christians—he has provoked a fury among members of the third GOP wing, the neoconservatives, who for all practical purposes dominate the party’s foreign policy thinking.

With Hillary beating a self-proclaimed socialist running on a "raise taxes" platform in Iowa thanks to six coin tosses, one wonders if reality is sinking in among the great unwashed American citizenry that she may not be as 'trustworthy' as mainstream media proclaims her to be.

As the email controversy just won't go away, and with insiders confessing that FBI individuals will "revolt" should a case against Hillary not be brought over her "top secret" personal email server debacle, it appears "we the people" are taking matters into our own hands.

There are some interesting details to be found in the Iowa exit polls, though many of them aren’t all that surprising. The CBS exit poll showed that Cruz won thanks to his large advantage with self-described conservatives, especially the “very conservative” voters that make up the bulk of his support everywhere.
