The 2016 Iowa Caucus was an interesting affair, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>First off, there was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/02\/02\/upshot\/how-to-understand-donald-trumps-defeat-in-iowa.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">not entirely unsurprising second-place finish<\/a> of marmot-domed billionaire braggart Donald Trump. The Donald got thwomped fairly decisively <a href=\"http:\/\/talkingpointsmemo.com\/dc\/ted-cruz-wins-iowa\" target=\"_blank\">by immigrant Ted Cruz<\/a>, proving that the universe does indeed have a sense of humor. Trump\u2019s defeat was predictable: his entire campaign has been long on foamy-mawed resentment but short on real-deal, right-wing meat and potatoes. The policies he&#8217;s mouthed \u2013 building a Mexican border wall; banning Muslim immigration, and shoring up Social Security for cranky old honkies \u2013 have ranged from the absurd to the frankly liberal, hence the disdain he\u2019s engendered among GOP establishment Grand Poobas.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, despite his \u201coutsider\u201d claims, Ted Cruz is every bit the rank-and-file movement conservative: obsessively free-market, vehemently anti-labor, shamelessly Jesus-freaky, and unabashedly xenophobic. The Evangelical Kingmakers\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/voters-seek-change-as-iowa-caucus-begins-1454377162\" target=\"_blank\">who drive Hawkeye GOP politics<\/a> melted early on to Cruz\u2019s bible-humping, Texas gun nut-cum-televangelist shtick, and when it comes to getting the votes necessary to rack up party delegates, religious pandering and free-market fellating beats empty populism every time. Whether Cruz will score the Republican nomination remains to be seen (remember how <a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/blogs\/burns-haberman\/2012\/01\/santorum-wins-iowa-officially-111713\" target=\"_blank\">Iowa Caucus winner Rick Santorum<\/a> conquered America for the Inquisition in 2012? Yeah, neither do I), but he\u2019s definitely on the right path, even as he puts America on the wrong one.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6265\" style=\"width: 688px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thatdevilhistory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/trump.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6265\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6265\" class=\" wp-image-6265\" src=\"http:\/\/thatdevilhistory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/trump.jpg\" alt=\"Trump\u2019s combination of air-headed demagoguery and unspecified policy didn\u2019t appeal to Iowa\u2019s GOP religious nuts. \" width=\"678\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thatdevilhistory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/trump.jpg 1180w, https:\/\/thatdevilhistory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/trump-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thatdevilhistory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/trump-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thatdevilhistory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/trump-1024x731.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6265\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trump\u2019s combination of air-headed demagoguery and unspecified policy didn\u2019t appeal to Iowa\u2019s GOP religious nuts.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the Democrats. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.willrogerstoday.com\/will_rogers_quotes\/quotes.cfm?qID=4\" target=\"_blank\">Will Rogers once said<\/a> that, \u201cDemocrats never agree on anything, that&#8217;s why they&#8217;re Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they&#8217;d be Republicans,\u201d and the Iowa Caucus always make that point abundantly clear.<\/p>\n<p>The real shocker of the night was that Vermont Senator-turned fly-in-Hillary\u2019s-ointment, Bernie Sanders, managed to pull a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rocky\" target=\"_blank\">Rocky Balboa<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/fivethirtyeight.com\/features\/bernie-sanders-needs-more-than-the-tie-he-got-in-iowa\/\" target=\"_blank\">go the distance<\/a> against the Clinton political machine. Hillary Clinton is the closest thing to Democratic royalty in 2016, and, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2008\/01\/03\/AR2008010304441.html\" target=\"_blank\">in echoes of 2008<\/a>, her seemingly inevitable march to the party nomination has once again been disrupted by a tenacious sorta-outsider with a passionate grassroots following.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of Barack Obama, however, the challenger to the Clinton throne is Sanders, a cranky, <a href=\"https:\/\/berniesanders.com\/democratic-socialism-in-the-united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\">self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist<\/a> with <a href=\"http:\/\/backtothefuture.wikia.com\/wiki\/Emmett_Brown\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Emmet L. Brown hair<\/a> and a potent, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2015\/10\/12\/the-populist-prophet\" target=\"_blank\">anti-Wall Street message<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>His claims notwithstanding, Sanders is more of an old-line FDR-style New Dealer than he is European-style Democratic Socialist, but when stacked against the pro-finance industry, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/magazine\/story\/2014\/11\/why-wall-street-loves-hillary-112782\" target=\"_blank\">Wall Street-friendly Hillary<\/a>, he\u2019s downright radical. Bernie basically tied the Iowa Caucus with Clinton, a feat that few in the Washington punditocracy predicted.<\/p>\n<p>It remains highly unlikely that Sanders will score his party\u2019s nomination: in a party that&#8217;s gone full-blown neoliberal in recent decades, his New Deal populism has been outdated since at least LBJ\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/sf\/national\/2014\/05\/17\/the-great-society-at-50\/\" target=\"_blank\">Great Society<\/a> days. Moreover, as is the case with the GOP, the winner of the Democratic Iowa Caucus doesn\u2019t always sail to presidential nominee glory (remember how Iowa Caucus winner Howard \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=l6i-gYRAwM0\" target=\"_blank\">Yarrrrrghhhhh!!!<\/a>\u201d Dean took on George W. Bush in the 2004 general election? Yeah, neither do I). But Sanders\u2019 momentum does give voice to the millions of Democratic voters who have this itching notion that Democrats should believe in something other than acting Republican-lite &#8212; maybe even be actual LIBERALS.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6268\" style=\"width: 681px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thatdevilhistory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6268\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6268\" class=\" wp-image-6268\" src=\"http:\/\/thatdevilhistory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders.jpg\" alt=\"The Hillary\/Bernie divide pretty much epitomizes the organized mess that is Democratic Party politics.\" width=\"671\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thatdevilhistory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thatdevilhistory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thatdevilhistory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-768x425.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 671px) 100vw, 671px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6268\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Hillary\/Bernie divide pretty much epitomizes the organized mess that is Democratic Party politics.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Next up is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/02\/02\/us\/new-hampshire-primary.html\" target=\"_blank\">New Hampshire Primary<\/a>, where Sanders is <a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/ballot-box\/presidential-races\/267713-poll-sanders-leads-clinton-by-31-in-nh\" target=\"_blank\">currently leading in the polls<\/a>.
