One upshot of Iowa’s longevity atop the calendar is it had long been a swing state, from 1972 inception of caucuses until 2016, when a realignment swung it safe GOP. SC is nobody’s idea of a swing state and there’s less post-primary benefit for Dems to spend a ton of time there. — PolitiTweet.org

@gummy_worm16 @Karoli Pre-2016, non-college white voters used to split more evenly between the parties. Now they vote overwhelmingly R, hence IA is redder. Meanwhile college-educated white voters have trended Dem, hence CO is blue and AZ/GA went red to purple. — PolitiTweet.org
