Next Tuesday, February 9th, everything may be on the line for almost everyone in this crazy campaign of 2016. If Trump comes back and wins handily, Iowa could just be a bump in the road.

Back in 1980 when Ronald Reagan won the GOP nomination, and again in the November landslide win against President Jimmy Carter, Reagan was consid- ered an outsider. The GOP Insiders were still upset with him for taking on President Gerald Ford at the ’76 convention and almost beating him. In 1980, many Democrats and Republicans thought Carter would be re-elected.
