Excerpt:
"What I really don't like is people who aren't practical," John Delaney says as he drives to Guthrie County, a rural section of Iowa that President Trump won overwhelmingly in 2016.
He's venting about proposals like "Medicare for All" and free college that have been embraced by many of his competitors. Without mentioning specific politicians, Delaney -- sitting behind the wheel of the Dodge Ram pickup once owned by his late father -- goes on to say that "big goals have gotten a bad name" because candidates who put up "pie in the sky ideas" want to get "attention."
A former Maryland congressman, Delaney was the first Democrat to enter the presidential race back in 2017. Since then, he's been on an almost non-stop tour of Iowa, visiting all 99 counties in the state as he tries to stand out in a party that's moved sharply to the left.
