Iowa, what a joke.

How absurd is it that all this attention and money is spent on Iowa.

Religious, older, white republicans. Mostly, right?

Who cares what they want and who they vote for.

The first primary should be Calif followed by New York or something like that.

Ridiculous, and how much longer can this be tolerated given the demos changing the way they are in this country!
