"The majority of Americans are not extreme conservatives or extreme liberals; history suggests they are not going to support, and the democratic system is not going to allow, a revolution or counterrevolution from either side."

That's part of a post-Iowa Washington Post editorial highlighting the lack of pragmatism and the dishonesty involved in the promises of Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders.

WaPo called Sanders dishonest in health care, as he won't tell the negative side of his single payer proposal.

Carpet-bombing won’t defeat the Islamic State, no matter what Mr. Cruz says. Mr. Sanders has yet to grapple honestly with the cost of a single-payer health-care system. Mexico is not going to pay for a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border.

Prominent economists such as Nobel prize winner Paul Krugman have likewise criticized Sanders’ health plan.
