That's because thousands of Rats changed parties to vote for Cruz so Hillary can beat him. You get thousands of Rats together, you're going to have a mess. It's what they DO.
They voted for Dondi. 2/3 of new voters did NOT vote for trump.
I don’t know. Although what WAS up with their turnout? True that democrats are generally lazy & disinclined to put themselves out. They seem(ed- I haven’t checked on them very much lately) pretty polarized between Clinton & Sanders. So I wouldn’t have thought they’d have abandoned that. They do hate Cruz more than Trump- probably Rubio the least, from what I could tell.
The account I read (& I wish I had bookmarked it) said that there were 4000 (surely they meant 400 unless it was an awfully big place) people crammed into a room. Previously, the supporters of each single candidate went into a room, voted, counted & that was it.
This time, there were tables set up. People just voted for whoever. No one could tell who had voted before & who hadn’t. People could get a second ballot & vote multiple times- no one would know the difference. It sounded like a real mess.
It didn’t sound like they were even checking IDs. (Do they not have voter reg cards in Iowa?) I don’t recall who this person/ couple supported. Not Cruz, I guess.
I had heard several reports, Monday night, that they’d run out of ballots.
They weren’t prepared, at all, for so many people.
For these reasons, I don’t think a repeat would be unreasonable, but for the sake of only 1 delegate, it would be hardly worth it, I think.
