That likely translated into Sanders running away with college-educated voters and Biden running away with those caucus-goers who have only a high-school education.
Slicing the Iowa pie even more thinly, Biden likely lost a significant number of younger moderate voters to 37 year-old Pete Buttigieg — another suggestion that Biden’s candidacy is, in a state like Iowa, almost exclusively a Geritol candidacy.
And then, hovering in the background, is the Billionaire Mothership. If Biden melts down, Bernie isn’t exactly going to glide effortlessly to the nomination the way Donald Trump did as the populist insurgent darling.
He (and whoever else is still in the race) will then have to contend with the limitless resources of his worst nightmare — a free-spending billionaire whose money he has yet been unable to expropriate.
What we know is that Mike Bloomberg has been dropping his infinite dollars in the places where people are going to be voting a month from now — just as voters in the largest states begin to hit the ballot boxes having heard almost no ads and seen relatively few Facebook posts from anyone but the former mayor.
All of this is a recipe for chaos — even more so because the Democratic Party’s apportionment of delegates is by voting percentage within each state rather than the Republican party’s winner-take-all system.
Hello, brokered convention!
Hey, I have a good idea, let’s put these incompetent boobs in charge of our country.
I think they are hiding participation rates, I believe the caucuses participation were down from the last 4 caucuses and the Dems don’t want to share that data
So App crashes/Data loss is the cover up.
Think they’d release the results during the SOTU?
So the winner of the Iowa Democratic Caucus is Donald Trump?
Like trying to herd cats.
