Dem debacle in Iowa

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that this is probably not the way Democrats wanted to kick off the 2020 campaign.

In a word, the much ballyhooed Iowa Caucuses has turned into a disaster.

As of this morning, there is still no word out of Iowa on which Dem emerged as the winner. Party officials are blaming tech glitches and "inconsistencies" for the delay.

In the meantime, the candidates have moved on to New Hampshire, which holds the first primary of the campaign next week.

All of this comes as President Trump, who cruised to victory in the GOP caucus in Iowa, prepares to deliver his State of the Union Address tonight, hours before the Senate almost assuredly will acquit him on impeachment charges Wednesday afternoon.

You can get the details here.

But I do have one more question: Can someone explain to me why we put so much focus on the Iowa Caucuses in the first place?
