I agree. If “they” are saying this now - conceding the possibility that the “leading democrat contender” cannot win Iowa, “they” realize “they” have no chance of winning Iowa.
Which opens the gate for the critical “First Three” (Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina) primaries to be run up by extremist social-racist-democrat-communists.
Probably, but for all of Dinobernie’s “inability” to rise above 20%, he is still the one with the money and the organization, and as others drop out, I think inevitably the more far lefties will gravitate toward him.
