Democrats dont like Hillary!!!
Here is a very interesting article on the Iowa caucuses.
Before I tell you what is most interesting let me repeat myself: Iowa is not America and the Iowa caucuses are waaayyyy over-blown.

YOU speak the truth!
If you read what I have said about the Iowa caucuses, you would see that I totally agree with the fact that Iowa winners rarely become president. BUT, what is interesting about the Democrat caucuses is that people get at least 2 chances to support a candidate. And in Iowa, that should have led to a big win for Hillary if the Democrats saw Hillary in a favorable light. THEY DID NOT! They went with anybody-but-Hillary!
That is the interesting lesson from Iowa. And that spells big trouble for Team Clinton if they get the nomination and face a respectable Republican in the general election.
