If you’ve been following the traveling circus that is the 2016 campaign trail, you’ve probably noticed the candidates doing some pandering that, even for national politics, seems pretty disingenuous.
Almost every major candidate for the 2016 presidential race is setting up shop in Iowa and New Hampshire. What’s so special about these quaint, charming states that compels some of the highest-elected officials in our land to meander around a cornfield double-fisting deep-fried pork-on-a-stick? Well, nothing really. Both states are homogeneous, agrarian and have a fairly strong libertarian streak.
The reason those candidates are there has nothing to do with any of that.
