Do we need to replace Iowa as the first in the nation during primary season? [View all]

Although some may disagree, I think Iowa's days as a competitive state are now history. The state is firmly entrenched on the red team. Combining that with its small size and its well above average high white population, the state no longer seems like a good fit at the front of the line during primary season. It's certainly not representative of our party. We need a new state to be the first caucus/primary state.

New Hampshire is also small and mostly white but at least the state is still a competitive one. I suppose pushing it forward would not radically alter the primary season too much. However, a state like Nevada would be a much better choice for the first caucus/primary state given its diversity, growth and competitiveness. I would also support a large state like Florida or Pennsylvania going first.

Am I off base in pushing Iowa off its perch atop primary season or do we need to look for a new state to kick things off in 2020?
