Ted Cruz’s surprise win in Iowa shows that Republicans are leaning more toward conservatism now. That’s only natural, after eight years of a Democrat in the White House. There’s usually an 8-year swing where Democrats push everything to the left until the country gets fed up with it, and then the Republicans push everything to the right until public sentiment swings back again.
However, this year is a little different because just as the right is leaning more toward the right, the left is leaning more toward the left. With Sanders popularity with his socialistic platform, Hillary is having to lean more left too, putting her moderate vote in jeopardy.
Without a true leader like Reagan or FDR, instead of coming together, we’re becoming a nation of extremes.
