US Presidential race - Iowa caucuses - Clinton edges Sanders, Cruz beats Trump

Announcements
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/elect...-2016-35404043
So the first voting in the marathon that is the US presidential race takes place tonight in Iowa. Final polls suggest that Trump is edging Cruz in the Republican race, whilst Hilary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders. But anything could happen of course.
Who do you think will have the early support after tonight?
Edit: Courtesy of TheGuyReturns this is a nice site to keep track of the results: http://data.desmoinesregister.com/io...ults/index.php

Cruz will win Iowa, Rubio will win the nomination after the party unites against Cruz (everyone hates him). When it comes to the voting people will turn away from Trump... Hopefully
Clinton will win Iowa and will win overall. I have a feeling Sanders just won't get the turnout and his campaign will lose its momentum.
Then Rubio will win the general after everyone realises how unelectable Clinton is.

Trump won't win a general and everyone knows it. Cruz is a nightmare candidate for the establishment. Rubio is the GOP's only hope imo.

I'm hoping Sanders will edge out Clinton (although whether he'll be able to carry that through nationwide is unclear) but it seems like it could swing either way, Trump will lead the republican vote comfortably. I'm also hoping he wins overall to make an eventual democratic win more likely- even Hilary is better than any of the republican nominees.

He has barely 10% in the polls, can you explain how on Earth he can win ?

as their second choice. History suggests that the establishment candidate always wins, McCain in 08 and Romney in 12 both lost Iowa and won the candidacy in the end.

Because he's higher than 10% in most of the polls and most people would prefer him to the other candidates. There's still a long way to go until the candidate is chosen, a lot can change and other candidate will drop out leaving Rubio a lot of support from people who have him

I think however you look at the permutations between now and the Presidential election, it's pretty hard to see past Hilary Clinton winning in the end.
A lot of different scenarios could unfold along the way but the end point is likely to be Clinton.

I expect Clinton will probably beat Sanders narrowly. From that I expect it will be pretty hard for Bernie to win, but I think he has a chance of pushing Clinton quite a long way. I can certainly see him picking up the momentum to win in Nevada, and that gets him to Super Tuesday at least.

Sanders will carry Iowa and NH comfortably.
I think he'll at least a 5 point gap over Clinton in Iowa (Yes, I'm very optimistic
).
Trump should have a 10+ gap over the next candidate, who'll probably be Cruz.

I don't buy this anti-establishment bull. It is true there are candidates they'd rather have in power like Clinton who are loyal and easy to control but I know what the real establishment is.
On a positive note Trump is largely self financed but his anti-Iran rhetoric is the same as all the other Republicans. Obama the worst thing to happen to Israel? Obama's administration has only increased money to Israel.
Bernie Sanders is just another AIPAC zombie like the rest of them.
