2. Tariffs on fruit and nuts mostly hurt

states that would be against trump's tariffs.

6. Apparently Ambassador Branstad from

major pork producer Iowa isn't quite as influential with the Chinese as President Birdbrain presumed he would be.

According to the Iowa Pork Producers Association, Iowa is the number one pork producing state in the U.S. and the top state for pork exports.

7. in a word.

they're gonna get "porked"

I can never get over how that state is used to steer the elections. I just don't understand it.

8. My best guess

is that the major parties want to keep it that way but I'm not sure why. It may just be logistics. Maybe the campaigns have crossed the state so many times that they have figured out the best places to hold rallies and the best places to stay so they don't have to devote much time and resources to arranging that kind of thing.

I think some kind of rotating primary system would be more democratic but that may be what the professional "gamers" of the system don't want.

9. Will this mean prices will fall for these prosucts here in the U.S. in the short term, at least?
