The democrats keep pushing them forward, out of their obligation to Nancy and Chuck.
It's becoming very obvious that the party leaders can no longer play as though they are in the center, and will have to keep letting their control slip away.
In my opinion, it'd be best to see the democrats work against the new breed, and have the millennial voters form a third party. That would almost guarantee conservative leadership for a good while.
There was a lot of this type of thing going on in the GOP leadership, until they got a real leader than will shame them for bucking him and the American voters.
This is hilarious.
The Iowa Caucus didn’t kill itself.
Its a great banana republic vote in Iowa Monday night and is this a coincidence or deliberate?
That’s why the results didn’t come out last night.
Mayor Cheat now trending on twitter. The claws are out. What a Dem cat fight. Ha ha.
Thanks, Oprah.
America loses
I dont get how major Pete could get so many votes in Iowa.
There cannot be that many kewl college students and stoned ex-hippies
Wonderful. The Democrats, experts at holding rigged elections, held another one here in Iowa. Nobody won. Everybody lost.
Anything can happen.
In the 2004 election, Dean was the top fundraiser and front runner, prior to the Iowa caucus,
Howard Dean came in 3rd in Iowa and was out of the election by February 18th
The Party didnt see him as a viable candidate.
Their convention this summer could resemble Chicago 68 with the same factions struggling for control of the Party.
Those wacky and retarded leftwing “progs” threw Bernie the commie under the bus and voted for the Bootyboy? Yikes! The DNC has fallen further into the sewer than I thought.
Sen. Bernie Sanders's supporters angrily stormed out of a caucus here on Monday night, calling the process a "joke" and a "waste of time" after they started out with more than twice as much support as any other candidate, but ending up in a five-way tie, with all viable candidates sharing one delegate apiece.
Under the complicated caucus system, there are multiple stages of voting. First, there is a vote to determine initial support. After that point, only candidates with 15% of the vote are considered viable. However, those voters who did not initially choose a viable candidate can migrate to another candidate. After the final numbers are counted, they are translated to delegate equivalents, which help determine how many supporters each campaign gets to send to state, and ultimately, national conventions.
After the initial vote at the First Presbyterian Church, just Sanders, with 32 votes, and Pete Buttigieg, with 15 votes, met the viability threshold of 13.
But then, in the second vote, Biden's support started to grow to as high as 16. Because he had votes to spare, his representatives siphoned them off to Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar. As a result, all three just met the viability threshold.
After the shift, Sanders ended up with 37% support in the room, Buttigieg had 17%, and the three other campaigns each had just cleared 15%.
Since there were only five delegates to be awarded in this caucus location, and under rules no viable candidate can lose their single delegate if they only have one, each of the five campaigns ended up with one delegate apiece. This even though Sanders won by 20 points.
So much for the "But Hillary won the POPULAR VOTE!" arguments.
But that's different, because shut up.
yep
recall that last week, the des moines register spiked a poll that failed to include buttplug on the stateweide poll.
something is definitely going on.
Supposedly only 10% of eligible Dem voters participated in the caucus. So Mayo Pete is getting 25% of 10%. A huge chunk of that has to be be faggots.
“There is definitely something going on here. It isnt just incompetence. There may have been some technical issues but Im sure they got results they didnt expect and it is problematic.”
And that should be the talked about by Trump tonight after he tells the Country about all his successes.
The Iowa caucus is just the political hobbyists having a night out.
A straight up race between Crazy Bernie and Mini Mike is a different story. I expect Bloomberg is the big winner from Iowa. He’s going to swoop in now and KO Biden.
Fauxcohantas: What about my vagina? I have one, you know.
Joe Biden: I am not a crook! I’ll say it here in Ohio, or there in Alabama. I’m sorry I called you Esther Williams.
Mike Bloomberg: I have more money than you. Nyahnyahnyahnyahnyah. I have more money than Trump, too. So I’m sure to win. It’s not who you are, it’s how much money you have.
Andrew Yang: I have lots of money. And I’m Chinese, too.
Everyman: Will my money come with me into the next world, or only my good deeds?
ALL: Shut up!
