Regarding where America is headed, I'm sure there must be less representative states than Iowa...
I just can't think of any at the moment--certainly none that have so much importance placed on their Presidential caucuses/primaries.
And yet, entire political careers have been and will be wrecked* because of a poor showing with the mostly white, mostly rural, mostly Christian, mostly conservative voters of this mostly inconsequential state.
I know we are essentially creatures of habit...but come on!
The Latino vote won't mean anything in Iowa. The black vote won't mean anything in Iowa. The youth vote won't mean anything in Iowa. The gay vote won't mean anything in Iowa.
And the women vote won't mean much.
Other than that, Iowa is completely representative of the American populace in 2016.
Uh huh.
*For the sake of this argument the fact that most of those wrecked careers deserved to be wrecked should be set aside.
