"how in the world could we have the future of this country be dependent" on these two states?

A good question, no matter who asks it. The only time the rest of the US gives any consideration to IA or NH is during the presidential primaries. AFAIC, the first one should be in CA, FL, NY, states like that.

#2 IA and NH has precisely the characteristics needed to "set the tone" of the political war. That is that they are small and relatively inconsequential.

If they weren't than the big money and corruptocrats would be all over them like flies on $hit.

They are also places that outsiders can make a mark in and show who is and isn't vulnerable. The game shouldn't be over in the first inning as it would be if one of the huge states went first.

It is the lack of patience in society that keeps trying to end the contest immediately. We want to know NOW who's going to win. Putting the big states first would just push back the start of the campaign another year because no one could afford NOT to be on top of their game from day one.

#3 What about Nevada, Harry? How diverse is your home state? What are you doing to get more diversity? Accepting Syrian refuges? Haitian boat people? Honduran farmers? Iraqi Christians?

Wotta maroon.

#5 I do have a set of wonders about why it's essential that the most unruly twelve percent of the population be the electoral ideal.

#6 We have reached the time where whites only get a 2/3rd vote per single vote for everyone else.

Yay racial healing.

#7 There is one race, humans. Anyone claiming to be anything else should be immediately vivisected in a lab to determine what sort of alien they are. Anyone claiming racism will also be vivisected.

#8 I do have a set of wonders about why it's essential that the most unruly twelve percent of the population be the electoral ideal.

Because half of them actually vote?

#9 How about "corrupt, liberal Mormons with ties to the Mob are too white to decide the future of this country?"

#10 Harry Reid? Too stupid and corrupt to have much to say about anyone or anything.

#11 Speaking of Dirty Harry, #9 Al, that should be "corrupt, liberal 'Mormons' with ties to the Mob"
