#2 In a general election none of these leaders would get more than the base %28 making Mondale look like a great vote attraction.

#4 The polls wrong or are there lot of gay farmers in Iowa? Or Buttigieg sounds the least crazy among a Party of people who are totally bonkers?

#10 The 2017 African American population in Iowa. African Americans constitute 3.8% of the state’s total population.

You nailed it. Compared to his competitors, Mayor Pete comes off at competent, moderate, patriotic, and sane.

#12 Can't win the nomination without African-American voters. They won't pull the lever for a Bu-Fu. They're the most socially conservative Dems, by far.
