hello. being from iowa is very interesting to look at this map. i feel like we are have greater appalachian and half yankeedom. how the counties were selected for this map. the northern part of iowa is in um, so imb -- yankied was wondering what statistics you were looking at. mr. woodard: in terms of deciding what county a given place is going to be in. a project is incredibly accurate and easy to do as you are on the right side of the map. as you work left, it gets harder isause the depth of history shorter, the speed of settlement becomes more rapid and the populations are often more sparse. it took oneing that generation to get from one county to another. the next generation, you are jumping states forward. the challenge becomes greater. iedom youhing like yank could get individualized data. large external migration was happening. it became important to some people to establish that they were there first and they went back a long time ago. daughters of the american revolution. the mayflower society. they were trying to establish that they and

hello. being from iowa is very interesting to look at this map. feel like we are half greater appalachian and half yankeedom. and what did in fact happened to kansas to create one of the few states that have three different regions going through. >> i am not an expert. it has been a controversial experiment on whether or not the ideas would work. it appears the answer is maybe not. i would be guessing. the midlands is a swing region. you have a large but sparsely populated section. and a section that is greater appellation. it is an environment where the possibility of an experiment does not seem implausible. why it happened there and now i do not know enough about kansas to answer. but i am not shocked, and given the regional fishers there that might happen. i wish i had a better answer. i noticed the northern -- >> i noticed -- >> you cannot use congressional districts because they switch every 10 years. it was a unit of analysis to use. to decide what part of county a given unit is going to be in is incredibly easy to do as you are on the right

even if donald trump wins iowa, it does not mean he will be the nominee. hello huckabee and santorum in the past. iowa normally calls democrats more so than republicans. 43% of the time. i would not be surprised if donald trump loses iowa. that does not mean he would lose the nomination, nessus there late here and. trish: you have to be careful. we have to be careful here. we saw some evidence of that over the weekend. watch this. him talking about how he could pull out a gun on fifth avenue and be okay. >> they say i have the most loyal people. do you ever see that? i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i would not lose any both brad, maybe he is right. we saw a lot of people really freaking out on twitter when he said that. he was making a joke. is he perhaps overestimating his opportunity here? >> i think that is a politician's achilles' heel. you have to underpromise or overdeliver. that is what defies expectations. trump has set the bar so high. if he does not win, then he is a loser. i will came in second in new hampshire highe
