Since 1972, Iowa Democrats — like their Republican counterparts — have held a privileged position in choosing their party’s nominee. In fact, it had a better record of picking nominees than the GOP caucuses: Hillary Clinton (in 2016), Barack Obama (in 2008), John Kerry (in 2004) and Al Gore (in 2000) all won Iowa before capturing their party’s nod later in the year.
