the first nominating state instead of Iowa

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst said that Democrats "gave middle America the middle finger" by making South Carolina the first state to nominate Democratic candidates for presidential races rather than Iowa.

Ernst's comments came on "Fox News Sunday" on Sunday, The Hill reported. Ernst told host Shannon Beam that she was "sorely disappointed" that the DNC voted to remove and make South Carolina have the party's first caucus for nominating a presidential candidate.

"I'm so proud that we're going to hear from more voices — voices of those who simply yearn to be heard. To be seen," Donna Brazile, a former acting chair of the DNC said of the caucus move to South Carolina, according to the Des Moines Register.

The DNC's decision to move the first-in-the-nation caucus from Iowa to South Carolina will mark the first time the caucus has been in a state other than Iowa since 1927. The RNC has also held its own first-in-the-nation caucus in Iowa since 1976.

3. Couple of thoughts

1 the last Iowa caucus was so fucked up, I still don’t know who won and by how much.

2 Caucuses suck and are extremely un-democratic

3 The Democratic Party should do away with all caucuses.

5. The MAGAs gave the world the middle finger by trying to overthrow the election...

And murder half of Congress to keep Orange Man Baby in charge. I don't care about anything they have to offer after that.

8. Makes perfect sense ! (wtf)

'middle America the middle finger' by voting to make South Carolina the first nominating state.'

[FirstLight]

10. I think the First State to Vote should be random and change every year!

Then it's not all about pouring all the resources and handshakes into ONE place...

And why should Dems and Repugs have the same state be a first voting state?

IDK I guess I'm just thinking there would be less chance for bacrkoom deals and greasing the gears between elections if the state was random.

12. Dems spent a lot of money

with candidates coming and going, and speeches and motels and on and on. Joni sees most of that going away.

13. I haven't said "Fuck you, Joni Ernst" in a while.

Fuck you Joni Ernst! Feels good.

17. REALLY THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

18. I think changing the order of State's Presidential primaries is a good idea.

Why should one State, or early States, get the same lead up attention and campaign money from potential candidates every Presidential primary season?

21. Wait, are they making South Carolina a caucus (rather than a primary) now?

This article seems to imply that...
