Primaries and Caucuses:

Some may wonder “What are the differences between the Primary and Caucuses? How did those differences impact the outcome?” Well, there is an answer, do not worry! The prime differences between Primary and Caucuses are that a Primary is a collection of people who can and can’t vote. Caucuses are a gathering of citizens than select a candidate to run in the election. These guesses impact the outcome by showcasing the percentage of candidates who are more popular, and then people see how popular (or not) the candidates that they are voting-for is. A few people change who they are voting-for based on these extrapolations.

Super Tuesday:

Super Tuesday is a day on which several states hold primaries or caucuses. It usually takes place in February or March of a presidential election year. It makes it easier to hold the primaries and caucuses. The primaries and caucuses that follow are easier to hold. The people earn states in the primaries and caucuses.

The New Hampshire Primary barometer:

Is the New Hampshire Primary an accurate barometer of who will win the candidacy? Why or why not? This question can be answered with: New Hampshire is picking Republicans, and Iowa is better at picking Democrats. New Hampshire has picked two Republicans and two Democrats, that later turned-out to be president. But Carter was re-elected.

People who are running and trending at the moment? :

Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, John Kasich, Bernie Sanders, and Ted Cruz are all candidates in the 2016 presidential election. The two democrats are Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. The republicans are Donald Trump, John Kasich and Ted Cruz. Bernie Sanders is the senator of Vermont. Hillary Clinton was the secretary of state. Bernie and Hillary both agreed there should be a way for illegals to become us citizens but they disagreed on affordable education. Trump likes to attack other candidates with words, is not in the government, and is a business man. Cruz’s first priority as president is economic growth. Cruz would reform tax system and cut government spending. Ted Cruz won Texas, Alaska, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Oklahoma, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Donald Trump won Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia Bernie Sanders won Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Hillary Clinton won Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. John Kasich won only Ohio. Bernie Sanders wants to take money from the rich and give it to the poor. John Kasich is an investment banker.

Debate on whether the Iowa Caucuses are accurate or not:

Some are debating at the moment if the Iowa Caucuses are accurate or not. It is an event that takes place, in which the first state to vote, is Iowa. They are sometimes inaccurate, due-to the fact that it usually only gives the candidates running more publicity and media attention.

Bandwagons, and if they affect how much certain candidates get voted-for:

Bandwagons are easy to jump-on. This election, many say that Trump is going to lose, due to the fact that many hate him. But he is winning many polls, so why? Are the frontrunners of the bandwagon accurate or not? This is much like the Iowa Caucuses. While frontrunners are stating how much they love/hate candidates, the candidates are only getting more media attention. People may hear about how much their friends hate Donald Trump, but they will probably still vote for him because they only know about him. So, they usually are not accurate. But they sometimes can be.
