Democrats dont really like it because it’s got a 100% yes 100% prediction rate for who the democrat nominee is going to be
if you win the Iowa caucuses you are the democrat nominee
make no mistake about it
and it’s a beautiful thing
these caucus is for Democrats because they need to talk with each other and have multiple votes especially when you have a big plate of candidates like this
the Republicans who make sense can get their arguments done very quickly whereas because liberals are ruled by emotion these things can go back-and-forth there’s tons of silly women involved in it can get very emotional and run around in circles and that’s why when it all gets hammered out in the Iowa caucus style that’s how they figure out who the Democrat nominees actually going to be Accurately
Dick Gephardt won Iowa in ‘88, was not nominated.
And of course home state Tom Harkin in 1992, which rendered the caucuses irrelevant that year.
