iowa went the way iowa should go. iowaens voted for ted cruz, the very conservative evangelical candidate. they did as they were performed, meant to do before trump sort of made us second guess conventional wisdom. i think we all need to realize while trump is a significant force to be reckoned with, some of this is just baked in, new hampshire's going to vote the way new hampshire generally does and so on and so forth. >> the new hampshire republican community is different than the iowa republican community. hold your thoughts. more to discuss. also once again standing by for that donald trump news conference. you saw him landing in manchester a while ago. it his first since he stumbled into second place in iowa. has the gop front-runner been hurt at all going into new hampshire one week from today if. >>> growing alarm as north cokoa says it will launch a satellite na space. does that mean kim young un's regime closer to launching a nuclear missile to the united states? see see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me.

is donald trump going to win iowa? >> i believe he will win iowa. iowa voters are ready for restoration of constitutional government again. donald trump can do this. and ted cruz at the top of the republican field is a nice problem to have. >> yes. >> is it a win-win for you? if donald trump wins tonight, do you win? if ted cruz wins tonight, you've supported him in the past, do you win? >> in a sense, yes. keeping in mind, this is just a very first step in this long, arduous process. then getting into the general. we have ten more months before we actually know who will be our next president. tonight, whatever the outcome, i think the republican party, again, is in a fortunate position in having that good problem. good candidates at the top. >> this was probably a tough call for you, between ted cruz and donald trump. >> it wasn't tough. >> really? >> no. i supported ted cruz in his run for senate there out of texas. when i endorsed him, he was barely a blip on the radar screen, in terms of in the polls and what people were perceiving. there and ki

to focus on iowa -- and see what happened.it helped land him in the white house.since then -- iowa's been a necessary stop for any serious presidential candidate. but iowa's value -- for both major political parties -- seems to come in getting a message out and as an early test. test.in 1992 -- bill clinton won the presidency -- but tom harkin was in the race early on -- chasing nearly all the democratic candidates from iowa from the start.harkin won with 76-percent of the vote. then -- al gore and john kerry -- both caucus winners -- both lost to george w. bush before president obama edged out john since carter won iowa -- the democratic nomination and eventually the white house -- the only other non-incumbent democrat to ride success in the hawkeye state all the way to pennsylvania avenue has been barack obama.
