So, I think this is interesting.

From Des Moines 47

First round:
Sanders 107
Warren 104
Buttigieg 71

On the second round, Warren gained 27 additional people.
Pete gained 36 additional people.
Bernie gained....6.

That's not great. Warren ended up winning the caucus because no one reallocated to Bernie.

2nd round is gonna be bad for Bernie.

Literally no one cares about this except political junkies like us, people who actually went to the caucus, and TV pundits furious they have nothing to report. Trash takes about how this is somehow good for Trump are just that: trash.

Trash takes about how this is being rigged for Biden will also be revealed as trash when Biden gets fifth place.

Finally, the Iowa Democratic Party is also trash. I bet seriously bad things are happening and they don't want to acknowledge it publicly.

This thread wouldn't be the same if shitty hot takes weren't prevalent.
I'm not saying that as an endorsement.
I'm not sure why I always refresh this thread during election nights, the echo chamber here is always so miserable... I remember people calling 2018 a failure for Dems!

Even if Biden some how becomes the nom, I shudder at the amount of excitement he would give in November. It would be horrible.

If people didn't want to listen as to why caucuses are trash and should not be a thing anymore in these primaries, we have reason number one right here.

I credit that entire experience with my uptick in smoking, because I just got so damn angry at this place and a large segment of the posters in OT.

Because they wanted to be miserable and drag others down to their level.

How can people particularly those who said in 2016 especially Trumpers say "rigged" if Biden is in 5th place? I know, I know early whatever

If anything, it'll the death of the caucus as we know of it.

If this caucus doesn't turn things around i might as well not vote in November. I believed in caucus, caucus or bust.

Was PoliERA that bad that night? I'm sure OT was, but I don't remember it being too bad in here. Then again, the needle did scare some peeps early in the night so I guess it's possible.

Such a sad sight, Blitzer in front of the delegate counter screen that sadly has remained unused the entire night.
