but Iowa doesn't mean anything. It's a small, rural, white state that has a caucus system that prevents a whole lot of people from participating, so the results can't be extrapolated to anywhere else. It's an outlier and doesn't deserve the weight it gets from the media.

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