The Iowa caucus is not winner take all

8. I would like to see rotating regional ones, IMO

When they are all at once, the candidates spend all their time on the big states and on airplanes. Keep the regions local so the candidates have to get into the town halls and out in the real world, and away from the stadiums and airport hotels. More group town hall discussions, with multiple candidates ... but not "debates". More like planning meetings on how we are to proceed as a party and a nation. That would give us a better feel for who are real leaders vs. who has the most money, loudest voice, or quickest comebacks.

But beyond that yes, the process is WAY too long. There should be a limit on time as to how early one can announce for all offices. The continual election cycle is very damaging.
