I agree with this. NEw Hampshire, actually, the primaries AFTER NH or the important ones.
IOwa is meaningless. REagan lost NH, then came roaring back in SC and beyond.
I think Carson will win Iowa, but that’s it.
This author hit SEVERAL nails right on the head! Iowa is a hypocrite of a state(Ethanol). It is a LIBERAL state painted with “conservative” paint. Scratch the veneer off and Iowa is just a festering and liberal and screwed up as liberal Minnesota and liberal Missouri.
1988 is a poster year for the relevance of Iowa. Dukakis carried the state by more than 10 points while losing 40 other states and 426 electoral votes. You can look it up.
