The Magnificent Seven
“I don’t know whether Cruz or Trump are going to carry the state, but below those two there’ll probably be three or four that will be within four or five points of each other so I assume we’re gonna have four or five people go away here as victors, at least in their own minds.”
— Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), quoted by Politico, on tonight’s Iowa caucuses.
