Chase The Race 2016

  Every four years, the current president of the United States steps down from the office and a new president is elected. This year, Barack Obama's eight years of being president is brought to an end. This brings five new candidates into the picture. Each one is running for the chance to become president in the 2016 election.

Are the Iowa Caucuses an accurate barometer of who will win the candidacy? Why or why not?

        The Iowa Caucuses help candidates gain momentum in the race. You need to have one of the Caucuses to have a good chance of becoming president, or even the candidates. You need to win a Caucus or Primary to be able to become president. Even though you have won a Caucus, or Primary, you still may not win. They only give you a head start. If you dont win a Caucus or Primary, funders drop out, and candidates have less of a chance of winning.
