I 100% fully support Bernie, and 100% do not support a recount.
You wasted your time. The results are in. Buttgieg kept the delegate lead, just barely, without the satellite caucus rule problem being addressed.
He's going to go on tonight and announce his victory in New Hampshire.
Of course not. At least most of us can start talking about New Hampshire now.
Pete "America's Mayor" Buttigieg townhall next.
bernies was good
I just disagree with his belief that people marching is gonna get his legislation through notch mcconnels senate.
Also, the free college idea needs work and he had a horrid answer for it.
How WILL schools deal with the sudden influx of students?
wont Private schools just become more prestigious and further divide the classes?
I just dotn think you can do all of these, M4A and Tuition free college and $15 minimum wage

Honestly Pete winning by 1 SDE (a useless metric) and losing to Bernie by thousands of votes should be considered a win for Bernie. It's so lame if Pete is gonna get more delegates than Bernie from Iowa.
As VP.
So Bernie can say that the only way a woman will be president is over his dead body.
Pete just got told he won on live television
When where you when America's mayor became America's president

Wonder if we'll find out the exact extent of this clusterfuck in 3 weeks or so like in 2012.
Now, I don't think that's fair. Even in an optimal situation with a Democratic majority in both houses, I doubt every rep or senator is going to blindly follow along with whatever legislation Sanders demands. The moderates will need to be convinced and compromises will have to be made but I have no reason to believe that Sanders wouldn't be successful as a president.
For asking for a recount before the votes were finished just when it looked like he might have lost? Yes. I don't even care about a possible recount at this point, even if it flips it to Bernie.
I'm more worried about how some people are prepping themselves into the mindset where every scenario in which Bernie loses it must always be some confounding factor.
That is not a healthy mindset to have about any person or ideology.
Pete is what Boomers think Millennials should be like, and Bernie is what Millennials think Boomers should be like.
Pete actually did equally well among all ages in Iowa, so...
Basically, it's voters being skin deep is what I'd say.
Why are people freaking out over a close run up here? It's literally like 1% of overall delegates and Bernie has far more name recognition.
They still haven't corrected the mistakes: https://twitter.com/Taniel/status/1225597908369780742
Why do they keep compounding on the mistakes?

At least NBC had the decency to admit there are all sorts of errors and it's way too close to ever really say anytime soon, at least, who "won" officially from their perspective. CNN of course leaps on a very coincidentally well timed results report to declare it outright with Pete himself. Of course.
He has never supported removing the filibuster. He always says, "No," when asked directly.
What he does support is using backdoor methods, like the budget reconciliation.
Well this was more of a case of plausible motive and opportunity imo. Like if they were going to try to diffuse any momentum that can really only be done right away before a narrative of electability plays out from him winning early states.
I was wondering about this, too.
Are these the same issues that were brought up last night that are just people misinterpreting how the overcomplicated caucus system works?
Youre remembering incorrectly, Warren is the one advocating for killing the filibuster while Bernie is for it staying the same. His plan for passing legislation is to use reconciliation (which has its own limitations) when possible and to create a grassroots movement for legislation that can't be passed via reconciliation.
