Iowa has gone for a social conservative consistently, Huckabee and Santorum in the last polls. They will never go for Trump. Cruz would have a chance but he seems to not be focusing his campaign there.
Trump cannot control global trade. The impact of “trade deals” would be miniscule, unless he decides to erect a bunch of tariffs, which would throw our economy into chaos and probably hurt more people’s pocketbooks than it helped.
Immigration is one thing the president has enormous power on because most of the fixes can be made by enforcing existing law. And booting out the illegals would have enormously good effects on our economy, freeing up jobs for Americans and helping the budget by cutting off their entitlements.
There are provisions in the WTO agreements that allow the imposition of import tariffs if you run chronic trade deficits. There are apparently targeted provisions if one country is a currency manipultor. We've not taken advantage of that, because we've got a bunch of gloablists in leadership who think that developing the third world by deindustrializing America is a good thing.

Oh, I see, Obama’s Iran trade deal is miniscule to you. Yeah, no bad implications there, right? Right. /s
