None of the current Dems other than Biden has a chance in Iowa.
Even the liberals there recognize Communism.
And one of the effects of Communism is land confiscation for the good of the people.
Crop micromanagement, price controls....

All will be a non starter in IA.

How right you are. It doesn't even take full-scale Communism. We are already there.

I am in a band with a woman who grew up in Ithaca, NY. Not surprisingly, she is a crazy liberal, the kind who drives a Prius covered with bumper stickers like, "if you need 30 bullets to kill a deer, you need to go fishing." She was recently ranting about fracking in and around Ithaca. She was going on and on about how the fracking companies were using peoples' land for fracking even if the owners were opposed. She, of course, blamed the evil corporations and, by implication, Republicans, and questioned how properties could be used even if the owners opposed it. I explained to her that those properties were being used under the power of eminent domain and that it was the five liberal justices on the Supreme Court who in the 2005 Supreme Court case Kelo v. City of New London supported the proposition that private property could be taken by private companies for private purposes if deemed to be for the good of the people. I further explained that all four of the conservative justices dissented in that opinion because conservatives support protection of private property rights. Do you think that made any difference to her? (It did not.) Liberals really have no idea the impact of their positions because they base everything on emotion rather than logic.

“None of the current Dems other than Biden has a chance in Iowa.”

actually, it looks likely that Warren will be the winner in Iowa:

and the full impact of the Hunter Biden scandal hasn’t fully penetrated into polls yet ... And it’s only going to get worse for Bidn as the fake impeachment nonsense rolls along ... already it looks like the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia have been given the go ahead to ask Bidn hard questions about this issue ... really, Bidn is toast ...
