So what's the story here? Are you saying Iowa's caucus outweighs California's primary for some reason? Iowa is more a popularity contest than anything else, and assigning it undue gravity is preposterous. It's long past-time to mix the primary order up and stop making like Iowa is the crown jewel in the tiara. Sorry, Iowans. Just my opinion.

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

Try reading the 3rd paragraph of the excerpt quoted in the OP. They think they're going to win. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #9

Try reading the first paragraph. People do not say those things if they are confident they will win. LonePirate Sep 2019 #10

Are any of the other campaigns claiming they're sure they'll win Iowa? highplainsdem Sep 2019 #11

There's zero basis for that assertion. TwilightZone Sep 2019 #14
