A Warren drop out won't be a net-positive for Sanders unless she endorses him. If she actually dropped out at some point I can't see her endorsing anyone else, BUT I could also see her just not endorsing anyone which would hurt Sanders the most.
I'll be voting for Sanders and I was thoroughly done with Iowa a day ago. People take this "he didn't get to have his victory moment" shit too seriously.
Don't you put that evil on me, Bernie Sanders!
Goddammit CNN! Also is that Heejin as your avatar?
Which is so fucking naive I wonder what he's been doing for the past 30 years in the Senate.
No, they rounding up of delegates was explained last night and people understood. These are fill in the column mistakes.
It's unfreakingbeliaveble!
...Honestly, this is the sort of situation that should have a recount. There's been a lot of errors on multiple ends and the delegate counts are absurdly close. The only reason people don't want to do it is because of what a clusterfuck Iowa has been already.
It's not naive at all. What's naive is thinking that popular and effective legislation doesn't emerge from the people and that it's all the product of cloistered wonks and policy auteurs imagining them up in a vacuum. Historically everything big came from a popular movement.
The only thing CNN cares about are the ratings they get from the drama they manufacture by creating this horse race.
Yeah, I don't get it either. That shit just ain't happening.
How did the campaign to influence GOP senators about Kavanaugh go again?
Policy emerges from the people sure, but the Senate is unfairly balanced to serve a minority of the country.
I thought we were talking about broad policy proposals for the welfare of the electorate.
No we're talking about how to get things passed against a Republican senate.
former Massachusetts governer that has been teasing a run. Of course, he seems blindly unaware that working for Bain Capita should sink him like a stone
Last Dem nominee to not win Iowa was Bill Clinton almost 30 years ago. It means something.
Right wherein you'd expect the electorate to care less about say raising a injunction against Kavanaugh because that's largely court intrigue and representative of the broader failings of our institutions which people have already resigned themselves to; while caring more about someone speaking up for and organizing for basic material interests like healthcare. It's just not really an analogy.
I'm a Pete fan and they 100% need to recanvas. The NYT found over 100 precincts with errors already.
Prank callers and internet trolls sought to sow chaos on Iowa caucus night
Christ. This election is going to be a giant shit show.
I was even at one of those rallies! One of the many votes Heller f*cked himself over with, but it turns out that he didn't care.
Always keep in mind that what ever McConnell needs to do to crush Sanders, he will absolutely do. What we saw during Obama's second term was just a taste.
Fixed.
***100% with the results are in with hundreds of unfixed errors.
Iowa's always been important for media coverage/"momentum" reasons but as far as actual delegates are concerned it's really not. I don't think it's a huge deal in this situation either way because I don't think Pete has a real path to the nomination so Bernie's gonna be fine.
Yep!
Oh ok
People just didn't understand the importance of a supreme court nomination, yep that's it
What are your thoughts on this?
Despite Sanders leading by thousands in the popular vote. I think that's the point those posters were getting at.
Hm. With NBC and NYT choosing not to call it because of errors, the spotlight would've been on Iowa regardless of Tom Perez's decision. Iowa forever.
He apparently refuses to get verified out of principle.
When dumb coin flips determined the allocation of several SDEs and Bernie actually won the popular vote, he won.
Seconded. Pete is just offensive enough for millennials and inoffensive enough for boomers. That's his niche.
It's a great idea to refocus on the debates and on Nevada.
He will be beat by Warren if he doesn't show his face in NH in the coming days, though. Buttigieg is taking is rich, white moderate lunch.
So the people voted more for Bernie. What the reason behind having SDE more weight than popular vote?
I mean, the point is just that having someone actually advocate for these simple and easy to understand positions and so engender a popular consensus towards them is clearly a part of a broader strategy and one that no one else is really arguing for or adopting. Typically you start with popular positions and draw up the details of legislation after.
He targeted Biden and Buttigieg directly, then made a comment about how Republicans paint all Dems as "a bunch of socialists". He clearly knows where he's looking to steal votes more than anything else.
Biden's entire plan was to muddle about until the southern states start rolling in. He's not going anywhere until SC and NV. If his grip slips in those states over the next few weeks then he'll have to consider folding it up.
