One thing I can say as a result of the 2020 election is that if Iowa tries to hold the first in the nation contest in 2024, Democrats should disqualify the result in favor of a Democrats only primary by mail conducted by the Democratic Party. It's a long time ago that they sent Tom Harkin (who I stood up for in the Maine Caucus in 1992) to the Senate and they should be punished for what they've done since.
I am on record of favoring the Democratic Party scrapping the caucuses, entirely and on bypassing the system in control of often hostile legislatures entirely for a Democrats only, by mail primary of, if not the entire country, then of slates of states from around the country going first, second, etc.
I am also done feeling sorry for Iowa farmers after this. They bought Trump, they can go down with him. They think they want the market, I say let them try to live in it without subsidies from the rest of the country. Let them go under.
