Speaking Personally           

Hillary Clinton did not win in Iowa.  This is not good but it has happened.  Iowa caucuses highlight certain candidate themes as winners and losers. 

"Change is most important for Independents and Democrats...

"Like us" seems most important for Republicans...

"Experience" has little traction and seems to be a loser.

A battle between "change" and "like us" looks ugly..."Moving On" difficult.
