David Leonhardt doesn’t get it.

The reason Iowa and NH are first and need to stay first - IS because they’re small enough that citizens can interact with the candidates.

If we started with large states the person with the most money AND the largest and most talented PR firm would win. Just create a TV image and buy ads. Can’t do that in Iowa and NH... nope, citizens get to take a measure of the candidates.... up close and personal...which helps all of us.

Implicit in Hesh’s ‘critique’ is Iowa’s in-person caucus system, which eliminates NYT/Soros/Socialist aims of destroying caucus for primaries, and also destroying the ‘in-person’ nature of voting.

They may be whiter than America as a whole, but they also have an out-sized population of college eggheads, Sodomites and stuck up progressives. Plus, they are traditional swing states. Plus, they have brutal winters which pompous politicians must endure to compete.

So, on balance, it is a good system.
