this is the end of iowa as a factor

they will be relegated to also ran status as well they should be. there is no reason iowa should have the outsize influence it does.
The caucus system has long outlived its usefulness

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

They were sitting on the floor. I am not from Iowa. But, I am also old and could not get down to sit in the floor and neither could I stand around for an hour or two.

The ridiculous caucus has to go.
