  1. I'll be honest. In no way should we let Iowa go first. Fair primary would be same day primary in all states.

  2. NBC news stop:No MAGA friend trump
    Don't No πŸš«πŸ‘ŒπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈTrumpπŸ§’πŸ—³πŸ˜πŸ€‘πŸš« don't
    Black NO πŸ€πŸš«πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ˜TRUMP😈🀑🚫πŸ”ͺπŸ”«πŸš«
    Didn't Donald J Trump not don't Block ok vote

  3. We shall see how many Bullies will try to dominate… ketchup on the walls ? !

  4. I’m gonna caucus only to vote against Haley. She has to be stopped.

  5. Take trump name and Republicans off the ballot in all states

  6. I wish you guys just lied to us about this

  7. It was always set up for Iowa and New Hampshire to vote first because they are predominantly white ONLY states. Which makes it harder for minority candidates to win or leave with momentum.

  8. They’re gonna be measuring their caucuses against each others.

  9. The most ridiculous way of voting. It isn’t one man one vote. It’s one man 10-15 votes

  10. This is so quaint and homespun… people get together to browbeat each other in what's normally a secret ballot vote, with loads of party operatives and related arm-twisters trying to bluff average people into voting how THEY say.

    So…why does Io-way get to get a pass from the present so they can engage in something out of a Ma and Pa Kettle movie? No…seriously, why? It might be something that Iowa cooked up, but the ultimate effect is that these "caucuses" look for all the rest of the country like some anachronistic voter intimidation festival…NOT a part of a functional democracy!

  11. Is the DNC going to allow R F K supporters and the other candidates to even participate? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
    They cancelled primaries in Florida becasue Biden won;t win.

    Staunch defenders of "Democracy" that they are.

  12. how it works in 2024: a bunch of yokels get together and worship their god/father figure/cult leader, donald trump
