How much of a shot do you think Wayne Messam could have in Iowa?

Iowa is going to be a highly contested state, of course, but Messam has unique appeal to the state for several key reasons:

Iowa is into young, charismatic black men: that's why Obama destroyed all competition in the caucuses of 2008 and 2012. Messam fits the bill, for sure. He has an inspiring life story, has been involved in politics for several years, and is relatively attractive, compared to other top contenders (looking at you, Bernie and Biden).

Messam also played college football for Florida State in the 1990s. Iowa is a state where there isn't too much to do but watch football. Fans, especially those from the crucial middle-aged male demographic, will have fond memories of Messam's winning national championship team from 1993.

However, Messam isn't up against a group of toddlers. Opponents such as Sanders, Yang, Biden, and Harris will also be top contenders for the prize of winning the Iowa caucus. So, I'd peg his chances now at roughly 20%, give or take. Does Messam have what it takes to win Iowa?

Has a good chance to win Buxton Iowa, but that's about it.

If every other declared or potential Democratic candidate suddenly dropped dead, Wayne Messam would still not be favored to win the Iowa caucus.

I'm going to have to replace Yang (who's now a second-tier candidate in real life) with Messam on my troll maps.

About 15%. Messam is a uniquely strong candidate and an especially good fit for the state of Iowa, but his low name recognition at this juncture prevents him from having a higher chance at victory.

What's thee point of asking this question?

Messamslide is inevitable.

Then Messam/Yang ticket will win 538 electoral votes.

Troll maps becoming reality lol.

I bet 2016 had a lot of troll maps as well.

Lean Messam for now, but it'll be a toss-up once Byron Brown gets in.
