What to make of the Iowa caucus? Here are six takeaways for me:
Hillary Clinton is a terrible candidate. Yes, I know I keep saying this. It keeps being true. That doesn't mean she won't eventually end up being president, but if she does, it will be despite her lackluster political skills, rather than because of them. The woman has had almost incumbent levels of support from her party, which paved the way for an easy coronation ... and saw her come to a statistical tie with a self-avowed socialist.
Think about this: she started up 30 percent over Bernie Sanders, and ended up winning six precincts by a coin toss. Clinton seems to have a stronger base of support among Iowa coins than she does among Iowa caucus voters.
