Iowa- What the Heck is Going On?

[ursulahx]

Recently I was talking to an American friend, and I expressed horror that Iowa could vote for Trump. It's one of the few US states I've visited, and no one I saw looked remotely like a Trump voter (oh, there was one woman, but she was from Oklahoma). He asked me where I'd been in Iowa. "Just Des Moines," I said. He shrugged, as if to say, well, there you go.
