It needs to be said

the idea that Bill CLinton competed in both iowa and NH and lost both and won nomination is hogwash.

Clinton and others skipped Iowa because tom harken was running.

with the first round of clinton scandals Clinton was able to spin a strong second place finish In NH as a win.This is why he called
himself the comeback Kid.

Bill was charismatic likable guy running.he never went scorched earth on his opponents.

I call bullcrap on idea Hillary as front runner can lose both Iowa and NH and still easily win nomination.

On republican side history says they are stuck with Trump if he wins both Iowa and NH

A good study of sports would tell you the past is not your potential but only your starting point. You know from your belly when things are correct or at least how they are supposed to be. Without using words and just watching the flow of events there is usually good place to observe and figure out where things will end up.
