I really don't get the argument that Iowa isn't a swing state and is somehow lost for the Democrats forever just because Hillary did really poorly there. Obama won by over 10% in 2008 and still over 5% in 2012. I think that alone justifies IA staying as a swing state. Yes, it swung hard right in 2016 but Hillary was a particularly bad fit for the state and this was the type of place where Trump thrived. In fact, I would argue that Ohio is closer to gone for the Democrats than Iowa, as Obama won by <5% in 2008 and barely eeked out a win in 2012.
