[question everything]

and in February in 2016 then that's when Floridians will vote.

The whole idea of rotating regional primaries is to remove IA and NH - two tiny states that do not resemble the country as a whole - from determining the next President.

Except when a sitting president was running for re-election, Bush II is the only one to win Iowa and to end up in the White House (barely).
