Basically, the Iowa caucus system is just a contest of peer pressure. So many small towns in Iowa, everyone knows everyone and their family. You want to go stand with the "popular" group instead of where you really believe with the best candidate. For example, you think Ben Carson is wonderful but the small minded folk in your town are anti-black, you go stand with them instead of your favorite.

Yes, Iowans in small towns ARE like that!

Iowa is a good place to be from -- far from!
