Surely Iowa and NH need to stop now as 1st in the nation votes

[sunonmars]

If anything, this primary proves that Iowa and Nh going first are only ruining potential winners.

I don't think they are representative anymore of the Dem electorate that other states do..

Perhaps we need All first 4 states all on the one night, or we completely change the first 2.

What do others think.

1. It's hard for you to complain about IA and NH when it worked out for your candidate

And maybe Biden turned it around because he wasn't focusing properly on IA and NH. He could have lost any first state if he campaigned that way in those places.

2. I think what really matters

Is that the media and press needs to stop giving these states so much attention and weight. And they need to acknowledge that results there are absolutely not predictive.

3. AMEN!!!!

I got pummeled early on when I suggested Biden would torch the field once we got to SC.

He's the only candidate who gets support from all of the parties demographic groups.

IA and NH, mostly white states, have no business whittling down the group of candidates.

It should be states whose demographics represent the country as a whole....period.

I don't understand why "tradition" trumps demographics.

For all we know Corey Booker, Kamala Harris, Klobuchar, or Warren might have caught fire if the first couple states matched US demographics.

We've got to get rid of these structural problems that favor old white guys.

And I'm an old white guy!

4. Could not agree more.

They are not representative of the country. Either state.
