  1. (15/15) Iowa was just a sample of the Democrats’ coming self-inflicted wounds. Donald Trump’s smiles usually look strained, like grimaces out of context, but perhaps not today.

  2. (14/15) Iowa has at least clarified the Democrats’ clashing theories: Americans are angry and hankering for more turmoil (Warren, Sanders), or Americans are embarrassed and exhausted by today’s politics of obnoxious noise (everyone but Warren and Sanders).

  3. (13/15) Meanwhile, like startled pheasants flushed from an Iowa cornfield, the surviving Democratic aspirants have fluttered away.

  4. (12/15) If a few early states must initiate the nomination process, they should be unlike Iowa, which has a population just 14% larger than in 1960, compared with North Carolina (130% larger), Georgia (169%), Texas (203%), Colorado (228%) and Florida (334%).

  5. (11/15) Fortunately, there is something comparatively serious in America’s political future. Super Tuesday, aka March 3, will allocate 1,357 delegates, 68% of the total needed to nominate.

  6. (10/15) The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says that from 1990 to 2016 the average household’s inflation-adjusted income after taxes and government transfers increased 46%, and 66% for households in the bottom quintile.

  7. (9/15) Substituting indignation for information, Sanders’ baseball nostalgia is akin to his claim that the average worker “is not making a nickel more” than 45 years ago.

  8. (8/15) In Sanders’ cartoonish understanding of reality, his explanation of everything he finds objectionable -- other people’s “greed” -- explains the loss of what he still considers his eternal entitlement to the Dodgers being in Brooklyn.

  9. (7/15) In 1955, the Dodgers, with six future Hall of Famers, won the World Series but had an average attendance of just 13,423, barely better than MLB’s worst-drawing 2019 team (Miami, 10,016).

  10. (6/15) ...socialism is justified because the Dodgers decamped from Brooklyn to Los Angeles after the 1957 season when Sanders was 16.

  11. (5/15) Four days before Iowa Democrats stumbled into futility, Bernie Sanders revealed to The New York Times the genesis of his socialism. Never mind the gulags, famines, Venezuelas and other wreckages...

  12. (4/15) For the purpose of “restoring integrity and competence to government,” she will have “at least 50% of Cabinet positions filled by women and nonbinary people,” and a “young trans person” will vet her secretary of education candidates.

  13. (3/15) Like a toddler trailing a security blanket across Iowa, Elizabeth Warren clung to identity politics with a fervor that suggested desperation and defied caricature.

  14. (2/15) The party that promises to fine-tune everything, from the production of wealth to the allocation of health care produced a fittingly absurd climax to what surely was Iowa’s final strut as a national distraction.

  15. (1/15) The progressive party’s Iowa caucuses were a hilarious parody of progressive governance -- ambitious, complex, subtle and a carnival of unintended consequences.
