3. Justin Barasky:

   Donald Trump may get all the attention but Ted Cruz is the GOP front-runner in Iowa and he's so extreme that he might even be worse than Trump.

4. Ted Cruz:

   This fevered pipe dream of Washington that at the convention they would parachute in some white knight who will save the Washington establishment, it is nothing less than a pipe dream, it ai n’t gon na happen. If it did happen, the people would quite rightly revolt. Senator Cruz only bolstered his case that he's gaining momentum in the battle against front-runner Trump with his Wisconsin victory. He scored 48 percent of the vote to Trump's 35 percent, and picked up the lion's share of the state's delegates. Ohio Gov. John Kasich trailed far behind. The race heads next, though, to New York state where Trump has a commanding lead in the polls. The criticism of having ties to the establishment is an unusual one for Cruz -- who has portrayed himself as an outsider fighting against what he calls.

5. Barack Obama:

   I'm sure the Republicans are enjoying Mr. Trump's current dominance as the front-runner.
