The 2024 presidential election season is about to kick off with the Iowa caucuses that contest could determine whether Donald Trump runs away with the Republican nomination or a challenger emerges but some of you are probably asking what is a caucus let me explain it’s a quirky form of election that’s

Kind of like a Statewide town hall meeting crossed with a popularity contest except instead of choosing like dog catcher or the prom King you’re voting for president of the United States people Gather in their communities in school gyms or even their neighbors living rooms to debate hear speeches from candidates and then write

Down their choice for president on a piece of paper and vote by secret ballot the results from 1600 cocka sites around Iowa are then tallied up and through a process we are not going to get into here a winner is determined so why do we care so much about this weird election

Because it goes first so if you win the Iowa caucuses or do well you get momentum and Buzz going into the next contest if you don’t do well it’s not looking good for your campaign

  8. I don’t need the broken biased bbc to tell me what I need to know about the Iowa caucuses.
    Pathetic idiots can’t even call out a terrorist, why would I want them trying to tell me about anything else.

  13. I pray the democrats open their eyes and see that because of their voting the country is in a shitty position. I hope instead of checking a box because it says democrat they'll actually do some research. But i doubt its going to change until they experience the trouble they put in office and from the streets.

  16. “Since 1972, the Iowa caucuses have had a 55% success rate at predicting which Democrat, and a 43% success rate at predicting which Republican, will go on to win the nomination of their political party for president at that party's national convention.” -Wikipedia.

  17. , does it always start in Iowa every 4-8 years for the next president? And trump shouldn’t even be in the running cause of what he did back on Jan 6, 2020, he should off all the ballots permanently

  22. (1)In 1988, when democracy was in danger in the Muslim country Maldives, Maldivian pirates and members of Sri Lankan Tamil militant organization People's Liberation Organization had waged a war to remove the government.
    The militants had captured important targets such as main government buildings, airports, television and radio stations,then, within 12 hours of the Maldivian government asking for help, Indian soldiers reached there to eliminate the militants. Indian troops quickly attacked and killed the militants and captured important government buildings and bases from them.
    Then India immediately sent help to the entire Maldives which was destroyed in the tsunami of 2004 and made it stand up again and India has always been helping Maldives in every way, yet the anti-India thinking of Maldives is very surprising.
    Whereas tourism the only source of income of Maldives and every year the highest 12% of the total tourists of Maldives are Indian tourists.Not only this, India had given financial assistance of $ 250 million to Maldives to deal with the impact on the economy due to the Covid-19 epidemic.
    (2)And similarly, in 1971, the Indian Army, taking enmity with America, saved the honor and lives of crores of Bangladeshis from the Pakistani Muslim Army When Pakistani Army did not make the winning candidate from East Pakistan(presently Bangladesh) the Prime Minister of entire Pakistan, instead of suppressing the voice of rights of Bangladeshis, they killed a total of 30 lakh Bangladeshi Muslims and raped 10 lakh Bangladeshi Muslim women
    and the series of murders and rapes continued which was stopped by the Indian Army.
    Nevertheless, after India's defeat to Australia in the 2023 Cricket World Cup last year, there was a huge celebration of India's defeat in Bangladesh's Dhaka University.
    (3) "Indus Water Treaty" was signed between India and Pakistan in 1960,whereas this treaty was the result of Pakistan's fear that due to the base of rivers being in India, it might have to face drought and famine etc. in case of war etc.
    Yet Pakistan has always stabbed India in the back like: – 1965 war, 1971 war, Kandahar plane hijacking in 1993, Kargil war in 1999, attack on Indian Parliament in 2001, 13 bomb blasts in Mumbai in 2008,Increasing separatism in Kashmir/Punjab & Muslim dominated areas and till now Pakistan has been involved in most of the 117 terrorist attacks.
    (4)In Nepal, a small Hindu majority country, for the first time since 1934, in 2015, there was an earthquake of such severe intensity in which 8 thousand people died. India was the first to help and has always been helping Nepal in every way. Still, Nepal's government has started thinking anti-India.
    which is a matter of great concern, hence how will a strong country ever help a weak country?
    (5)Whereas recently, when Sri Lanka, a small country which had thousands of years old relations with India, went bankrupt, only India had saved the people of Sri Lanka, not China, yet ignoring India's concern, Sri Lanka came with China, Dragon's surveillance warship reached Colombo.
    Note:-A matter of great concern is the betrayal of small countries, so how will a strong country ever help a weak country?

  30. I wanted to learn but i just CANNOT STAND these women affecting the 90209 Zip pre teen "vocal grind."
    No one is born with this – it's the unintelligent that affect it.
    GROW UP WOMAN– It's ugly and puerile.

  32. It's just a renamed state primary election. By calling it something other than a primary, they can avoid an election date war with New Hampshire which has a law that says they go first.
