Will The Campaign Shift on Tuesday?

After the Iowa vote on Monday, will there be a big shift in the presidential race?

Among Democrats, if Hillary loses to Bernie Sanders will there be any mass movement away from the soon to be indicted former secretary of state?  If Hillary loses, will Joe Biden reconsider and jump into the race?  If Hillary loses, will the FBI decide that it needs to act quickly in recommending her indictment once she is no longer the certain candidate of the Democrats?

Among Republicans, it Trump, Cruz and Rubio finish in the top spots way ahead of the others, how many candidates will drop out prior to New Hampshire?  Will Santorum and Huckabee and Paul and any others depart the race immediately, or will they wait for New Hampshire results first?  If Rubio blows past Cruz or Trump to finish second, will that story be so big as to propel him way up in New Hampshire and elsewhere?  If Trump comes in second or third, will he pull out of the race since he is no longer a "winner"?  If Cruz only comes in third, will his campaign crumble due to inability to win on its natural turf?  Will the pre-caucus polls be anywhere close to correct?

Just think what a good thing it would be for America if the Iowa caucus were to deal a heavy blow to the presidential campaigns of both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.  Imagine the new slogan in Iowa,  "Make America Sane Again!"
