- ch4s3 4y agoNo, it's an agricultural subsidy that is important to states that appear early in presidential primaries so its pretty well locked in for now.
- barathr 4y agoIowa is losing that status this coming cycle, so things may begin to shift.
- ch4s3 4y agoIt's Probably losing it's place in the DNC primary, but Michigan which plants 2 million acres of corn will be 5th and Iowa still might be on Super Tuesday. If the RNC keeps the early caucus it might turn into a more partisan issue which might be worse.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> It's Probably losing it's place in the DNC primary, The rule has already passed. It can defy the rule and keep its early date, but then it will lose half its delegates under the rule. > Michigan which plants 2 million acres of corn will be 5th Fifth isn't second, and two million acres of corn in a state with a $473B GDP is not the same significance as thirteen million acres in a state with a $180B GDP > Iowa still might be on Super Tuesday. Most of the country that isn’t on the early calendar is on Super Tuesday
- ch4s3 4y agoCertainly all true, but I think it's still to be seen what kind of influence the Corn Belt will have in the DNC primaries, and what will happen with the RNC.
