Today's installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.

* If you missed last night's show, Donald Trump's confrontation with Univision anchor Jorge Ramos in Iowa got a little ugly.
* Speaking of Iowa, the latest Suffolk poll in the Hawkeye State shows Hillary Clinton leading Bernie Sanders in the first caucus state, 54% to 20%. The poll included Vice President Biden, who was third with 11%.
