Just so everyone knows..Iowa Caucuses scheduled for: February 3, 2020.

The 2020 Iowa caucuses are expected to be the first votes of that year's U.S. presidential cycle and are currently scheduled to take place on February 3, 2020.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Caucuses are less democratic. You can't early vote or absentee vote for caucuses. You can't even vote on election day before work.
You have to be there at the specific time of the caucus, and if you can't be there, you don't vote.

Having watched the entire procedure live on C-Span, I can't see how anyone can take it seriously. It's nothing but a dog and pony show, better suited as a parlor game than an election process.

primary today, I would vote for:
