The texas senator soundly defeated donald trump monday. The conservative crews had to ning had been campaigning in iowa for a year and seems to have tapped into the evangelical vote there. If surprise thirdplace senator winner was senator marco rubio. The former secretary has won by a razor thin margin against u. S. Senator Bernie Sanders of vermont. Officially, the race is still too close to call. For more, we go to Philip Crowther, who is in iowa. Lets start with the democrats. One more information do we have . Why dont we have an official winter yet . Too close is simply to call. The other reason being that one precinct has not reported yet. That is the 1 that is missing so far. Those who are counting these results say that will not make a difference to the actual result, hence why the Hillary Clinton campaign during the night local time did officially announced victory. That is something that the Bernie Sanders campaign has also done, not necessarily officially in a press release like Hillary Clintons campaign did, but certainly Bernie Sanders did exactly that on stage last night. This result is not 100 official in the view of the democratic party, but it does look like the two candidates more or less agree to disagree. Hillary clinton will sell this as a victory. Bernie sanders will as well. But they agree it is a testable tide. Bernie sanders but they agree it is a statistical tie. Anyne gave Bernie Sanders chance at all last may of getting the crucial iowa caucuses, and he indeed has already left des moines, iowa. He left last night, arrived in New Hampshire at 5 00 a. M. Local time. He was greeted by supporters on the tarmac at the airport at 5 00 a. M. There certainly is that momentum and energy with Bernie Sanders. Genie talk us quickly through the republican side. Ted cruz won, a slight surprise, but not as big a surprise is the person who came in third, marco rubio. Crucial. Hat is marco rubio, you will hear this a lot over the next few weeks themonths he is establishment candidate, or at least one of the possible establishment candidates. This result in iowa puts him in that position. He is the senator from florida who is the Republican Party member who the republican members actually like and see as the potential republican nominee or that is not something that the other two candidates are at this point. Those other two candidates being donald trump, who came in second place, and ted cruz, who won. That victory by ted cruz is a itprise, but in some cases is not because he got the crucial evangelical christian vote. On the republican side, the momentum is certainly with senator ted cruz and with senator marco rubio. Genie Philip Crowther reporting for us from des moines. Moines ry in des oliver farry took a closer look at the republican field in iowa. five years ago ted cruz was largely unknown outside of his home state of texas.

Speaking to congress in 2013, even fitting in a bedtime story to his two young daughters. Cruz do you like green eggs and ham . I do not like them, sam i am. I do not like green eggs and ham. Ted cruz often alienated even fellow republicans. Texas, he became a naturalized american in 2005. Having served in george w. Bushs administration, he was then texas solicitor general and a litigator. Ted cruz has an almost evangelical belief in americas redemptive powers. Thecruz we have faced to abyss, and the American People rose up and we pulled this country back. We have done it before. We can do it again. We can bring back that last best hope for mankind that is the United States of america. Ted cruz platform is prolife, progun, skeptical of climate change, and should he get the republican nomination, ted cruz is likely to be the most rightwing nominee in decades.
