A win in Iowa is supposed to vault candidates to some new orbit and produce more victories ahead. But the theatrics of Iowa have been ruined
“Iowa,” a smiling Pete Buttigieg said, shortly before midnight in Des Moines, “you have shocked the nation.”
He said, “By all indications we are going on to New Hampshire victorious.” Perhaps he has some indications but by no means does he have “all indications.” Nor does anyone else. But the theatrics of Iowa have been ruined. The crowning of a winner Monday did not happen. Tuesday is Donald Trump’s State of the Union address. Wednesday is the day Trump is supposed to win acquittal in his Senate impeachment trial. Friday is another Democratic debate in New Hampshire, where voters cast primary ballots in a week. Iowa momentum may prove perishable—if it is ever there to harvest in the first place.
