it gives candidates like Mayor Pete and Beto a running chance... the big states cost the big bucks.. they all do.. but it makes it so much harder to get seen... the other thing for Iowa.. because our caucus voters tend to be our most liberal/progressive of our party.. it gives candidates like Bernie in 2016 a chance for national exposure..

Now you are absolutely right about us being basically looking like everyone has just come out of a snowstorm ... we are not a diverse state..

so we have a place.. should we be the first.. depends on what you are looking for.. I am supporting an establishment candidate this time.. but other times I have supported the unknown.. and sometimes successful.. sometimes not.. but at least they got a shot

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