Smart move! Iowa is the gateway for later success in the primaries, especially for lower polling candidates.

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

was to concede the first two primaries and try to build a base on the ones that followed...but unfortunately all-white Iowa and NH still reign supreme in picking our candidates and that's not really a viable option.

She's probably got too much ground to make up at this point.

In hindsight, I think she should have done what Booker has done, flood Iowa with staffers and attention.
