America is nothing if it is not about seeing how a presumptive candidate handles all the hyenas and how he fleshes out his positions and promises in response. America is entitled to form its opinion and express it in the form of actual votes taken at actual primary elections in actual places, like Iowa. What matters is representative democracy selecting the candidate, not the punditocracy.
