Final UPDATE: Hillary Has Problems, Bernie Has Big Mo, Trump Will Win New Hampshire, South Carolina (video above)
Trump received more votes than any Republican presidential candidate in Iowa history other than Cruz. Cruz won it.Ted Cruz winning Iowa is not an upset. As we've said all along, Iowa is Cruz's homefield advantage. But he did a damn great job closing. (Joe Scarborough)
Bernie Sanders has pulled off the remarkable feat of the night. He has drawn even with Clinton and is within inches of victory. (Joe Scarborough); It's not clear that we'll ever know with absolute certainty who actually finished 1st among Ds in Iowa, and not sure it matters. (David Axelrod) UPDATE: “Clinton won with 700.47 state delegate equivalents, or 49.84 percent. Sanders finished in second place with 696.92 ... or 49.59 percent.”

Both Bernie Sanders (Democrat) and Donald Trump (Republican) are expected to win their respective parties' first primary elections, in New Hampshire, February 9th, but can Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump win in the Iowa caucus voting tonight? UPDATE: see final results here.
Republican Caucus 30 total delegates - Iowa’s 30 delegates are allocated proportionally to candidates based on the statewide vote. Past Winners: Rick Santorum 2012; Mike Huckabee 2008
Democratic Caucus - 52 total delegates - No democratic delegates to the national convention are awarded as a result of the Feb. 1 precinct caucuses. As in recent election cycles, the state's delegates will be elected at district caucuses and at the state convention, which is scheduled for later in the year. The February caucuses will elect delegates to the county conventions currently scheduled for March. Past Winners: Barack Obama 2008 John Kerry 2004
Tweets by @dmrcaucus FAQ: What time do the Iowa caucuses start? 7 p.m. CT. (time convert) When will the winners (Democrat and Republican) be known? In 2008, the caucuses were called for then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee (R) by 8:30 p.m. CT. In 2012 it was after midnight before the Republican winner Rick Santorum was determined.

NBC News-YouTube Democratic Debate LIVE: "Scheduled for Jan 17, 2016 - Join NBC News’ Lester Holt, Chuck Todd and YouTube creators Connor Franta, Marques Brownlee, MinuteEarth and Franchesca Ramsey as Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley debate in Charleston, South Carolina." Pre-Debate coverage begins at 8pm ET with the actual debate scheduled to start 9pm ET [time converter].
WSJ: "... On Tuesday, Monmouth University had her [Hillary Clinton] trailing Bernie Sanders [@BernieSanders, berniesanders.com ] by 14 points in New Hampshire. Quinnipiac had her down by five in Iowa. The Des Moines Register poll has her ahead there, but by only two points. The Iowa caucus is still two weeks away, but if Mrs. Clinton’s campaign isn’t sinking, it’s obviously struggling." Domain Mondo doesn't usually cover US Presidential politics, but in this year of the IANA transition, it is worth keeping an eye on the 2016 Presidential race which has become interesting, apart from any possible IANA impact, due to the surge in the Trump (Republican), and Sanders (Democrat) campaigns, respectively, as well as the impact digital and social media are having on the race, the electorate, and the candidates--clear winners thus far are Twitter and YouTube--even NBC has conceded to the cord-cutters and is streaming the Democratic debate LIVE tonight via YouTube (video above).
Donald Trump, although never having held elected office, is no stranger to the American electorate. He has been running a self-funded, low-budget campaign, with lean staff, a Twitter account (and other social media accounts), and a website at donaldjtrump.com (his organization reportedly owns 3000+ domain names, more info here and here). At first, some thought Trump was using his "run for President" as some kind of publicity gimmick and he would withdraw once things started to get serious. They were wrong. In spite of some of his earlier, more controversial comments, it's now become apparent Trump is serious, and increasingly it looks like he may become the Republican nominee--note the recent headline in Vanity Fair-- "It’s Becoming Harder to See How Trump Can Lose." If he does get the GOP nomination, "how and why Trump" will be a topic for pundits, historians, and political scientists, for years to come. The first caucuses are in Iowa (Feb 1), while the first primary election is New Hampshire (Feb 9) where Trump clearly leads in the latest New Hampshire polls. On the Democratic side, Clinton could win the Iowa caucuses only to lose to Sanders in New Hampshire where he leads in the latest polls.
A turning point in the Republican race may have occurred last week in South Carolina:
Video above: Cruz and Trump debate "New York Values" January 14, 2016
That was a real "knock-out punch" Trump delivered. In political parlance, Trump "went for the kill" and left Ted Cruz, a Princeton and Harvard debater, speechless, and politically speaking, bloodied and bruised, if not mortally wounded. Even the Cruz "birther" issue has started to gain traction, read this. The fallout from Cruz's attack and Trump's counter-punch reverberated across social media:
