Note: NH population has grown ~ 4% since 2008; they would need to surpass 300K+ votes to match 2008 levels as a percentage rate ... just sayin ...

The relatively low turnout for Iowa's Democratic caucuses ... above the 253,062 turnout level in 2016 ... close to the record turnout of 287,527 in 2008 ...

So, was there low turnout or a near record? Sheesh.

And it only took half a dozen other candidates to siphon off his votes!

Here’s hoping a lot of those votes were Republican cross-overs.

I will say again, as I did over and over during the Romney disaster in 2012, that “winning” with 28% or 30% of the vote makes no sense at all if 72% of the voters really, really don’t want you.

It’s one thing in a final election to choose someone for a job, if there are multiple candidates (although runoffs are much better).

But in a preference poll? To choose a candidate who can win a two-man election?

It can only work in the presence of party loyalty so strong that all, or most, of the 70% who voted AGAINST candidate X are certain to vote for him in November.

Such party loyalty no longer exists in the US, and hasn’t for years.

Sanders did not win.

He merely tied with the queer.

They both won 9 delegates

I must be the last person in America who knows what “eke” means.

Interesting stats. Is this a bad omen for the Dems, showing how discouraged their voters are? Or is the vote just too divided right now to see the end game?

Go Trump!
