I went to my D caucus tonite here in rural north central Iowa. Generally a pretty R area. I had to flip my registration to D to participate.

Had 82 people show up. Having been to R caucuses, the Bernie folks looked very similar to a Ron Paul group, was the youngest group there, and the most male.

I joined the Yang group, and there were only 3 of us there. On first count, only Bernie and Warren were viable. Which in this precinct was to have 13 people to be viable. Everyone else was at 10 or less, Amy, Pete, Joe, Bloom, Steyer, Yang and a couple others had 1 or 2. Nobody there for Tulsi.

When it came time to disperse, for the non-viable, only a Biden and Warren person came to ask for my vote. Of us 3 yang people, one went to Amy, one to Warren, and I decided to go to Biden. I was the one that made him viable in our precinct. If I hadn't of gone to Biden, they would have only had 12 and would have had to disperse. Of the 13 Biden people, only 2 were younger than 50. (by my guess).

It appears that the non-viable Steyer people went to Pete and Amy to get them viable. One person walked out from a non-viable, apparently not wanting to make a 2nd choice.

I don't live by a college campus, or anything like that. There weren't any wild eyed crazy leftists here, and the buzz and conversations were pretty mild that I heard. Mostly just, "Don't like Trump" which is to be expected. I didn't hear any of the crazy "racist" "Nazi" stuff even when they were all amongst friends.

I like political stuff, and as an Iowan, I take this job seriously to get the country going in the best direction we can, even if it is a party that I don't agree with. I'll be changing my registration back to R to vote in our primary in June.

In my precinct in rural Iowa, the votes after viability went 26 Sanders, 14 for Warren, Amy, and Pete, and 13 for Biden. The thing that matters tho is delegates to the county convention, and that was 4 for Bernie, and 2 each for Biden, Warren, Amy, and Pete.
