Surely we had to realize Biden would do well in Iowa though, right? He's exactly the kind of politician that state loves.
If anything I think it kind of helps the argument that all primary voting should occur on the same day, like in the general. Or at least shorten the primary season significantly. Just so many arguments against a process that lasts close to half a year.
At least that's my take as someone who thinks Biden is the head and shoulders frontrunner but would really rather her not get the nomination.

I'm too lazy to find it right now, but there was an article before the 2016 election campaigns showing that the leader in Iowa (or New Hampshire or one of those early primaries) rarely won the nomination.

What's the over-under on how much of his income Donnie spends on gold plating?

That's reassuring at least. And a sample size of n = Ted Cruz is hard to argue with.

I haven't checked out historic New Hampshire Primary results, but here are Iowa Caucuses results courtesy of our friends at Wikipedia. I've highlighted the winners who went on to claim their party's nomination...

that's essentially what happened in the republican party.....a bunch of right wing nutjobs trying to be the most extreme. Donnie won that competition
Trump isn’t right-wing. And I look forward to watching him chew up and spit out whoever wins the Democratic nomination. I haven’t see a single one of those idiots who has a prayer of winning.

Would you describe 2016 as Trump chewing up and spitting Hillary out? Because she did get 3 million more votes than he did, anyone they nominate in 2020 will be far more likable, and we will be that much further into this clusterf#&% administration, if Trump even makes it that far.
