This week, we settle all family business (so the saying goes) as after 18 months of jabbering about the election, voters in Iowa are actually going to the polls. To get the best insight into this long awaited event, we go to two experts actually at Ground Zero, aka Des Moines. The Washington Examiner's Byron York weighs in on the race and National Review editor Rich Lowry describes the aftermath of his magazine's Against Trump edition and how it is reverberating through the corn fields.
Attention Ricochet Members: Going to be in New Hampshire next weekend? Join us for a first meet-up of 2016! Details here.
Music from this week’s episode:

Close, Casey. Actually, it was the moment after Rob told me you'd beat me by a whole week in posting the Rubio videotape. (I'm still going to be smarting about that on my deathbed, I can tell right now.)

Trump/Clinton matchup would be a disaster because of Trump's thin skin and negatives? Because the Democrats are hard nasty fighters?
Clinton doesn't have a thin skin, or negatives?
Is there any better school of fists, boots, and all street fighting than the world of New York City real estate?
Other than Cruz, which of the other GOP candidates has the chops to get in the cage with Clinton, or Sanders? The way Trump punched back on Clinton's labeling him a misogynist by calling out her enabling Bill's didoes shows he can counterpunch.
Meanwhile pass the marshmallows.
