No way Iowa should be the kickoff game of the primary/caucus schedule.
Those folks were +6 Obama in 2012.
And no blue wall states in the first 20 either.
The notion of a standard order for primaries each year is quite simply anti-democratic.
States should draw their dates for primaries at random four years in advance. That gives everybody plenty of time to adapt.
Every election year different states should come up as first in line.
Is there any even vaguely logical reason to give IA and NH, in perpetuity, so much power over who becomes our next president?
