Democrat Party Successfully Rigs Iowa Caucuses; "Final" Results Claim That Bootygieg Won 14 Delegates to Sanders' 12
Sanders beat Bootygag by six thousand votes in, you know, actual votes. Sanders won 43,671 to 37,557 in the "first alignment" of votes and was still ahead of Bootygag 45,826 votes to 43,195 in the "second alignment," after voters from "nonviable candidates" shifted to other candidates (and mostly shifted to Bootygag).
Result? Bootygag wins. Somehow.The Iowa Democratic Party announced Sunday that Pete Buttigieg has won 14 delegates and Bernie Sanders will be awarded 12, following the party's disastrous first-in-the-nation caucuses last week that have been plagued with apparent inaccuracies in crucial voting data. Less than an hour after the results posted, the Sanders campaign announced that it would seek a partial recanvass of some precincts in which there were apparent irregularities, Fox News has confirmed. The Iowa Democratic Party has allowed campaigns to call for a recanvass until Monday at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Agreed. It gives the corn industry too much political influence. A new system is needed. I say 10 states at a time, in a rotation that ensures that the block that went last this cycle goes first the next. Each block should contain states from every major region.
Except Iowa. Iowa should be consigned to the last block for the next 200 years, to make up for having been first for the last 200 or so.

As an Iowan, I think the process is fine. Very "Midwestern". The Republican-side isn't quite the clusterfuck, as everyone gathers, reps for each candidate speak, and then everyone just votes once. After they tally and announce the results, they try to encourage people to stick around to be state delegates, attend future party meetings, etc.
I "live-posted" here from my precinct in 2016. Good times.

And if Bernie is the nominee, the likelihood of that rises dramatically.

Bernie is a loser.
He folded like a cheap suit against Hillary, ceding every bit of ground she demanded in that race.
He can't stand up to activists to his left, handing over the mic when they demand it.
He's weak. A beta male of the worst kind. Having him next to Trump will be illuminating.

You joke, but I've heard actual people (apparently) seriously making the argument that they were "left-libertarians" who believe in individual liberties, and that liberties don't mean anything if you don't have the means to exercise them, so that the government therefore must be required to pay for things like healthcare, housing, etc.

Several factors:
1. You max out at 9 delegates from each precinct.
2. They rounded up/down to make even number of delegates. However, if you were below the .5 cutoff but were the highest fraction, and there was a left over delegate, you got it.

Not gonna happen. And if it does, it basically means Trump keeps 90% of his 46% of the vote (or about 42%), adds a couple points (to maybe get back up to 45%) and the billionaire/millionaire ticket splits the rest with whatever sap wins the booby prize in Milwaukee.

A thousand.
Still, it's about setting a narrative of winning.
If Buttigieg "wins" Iowa, and then places well in New Hampshire, he could have a claim to being the new moderate choice. Then, if Shadow (which developed the app in NV) wins NV for Buttigieg, then you have the new frontrunner.

If you suspect Buttigieg might be a secret commie, because his dad openly and proudly taught Marxist theory at Notre Dame, you are accused of "red shaming." As the Daily Beast said, "how dare you sir!"

===========
They gave up control of the DNC in 2016 in order to keep the Sanders fans happy. It didn't matter, Hillary was going to win the presidency and could wipe out the crazies whenever she wanted after November.
She loses, and suddenly these crazies are still in the DNC.
They can't fix anything because the civil war of the Democratic Party is within the Party organizations themselves.
They couldn't clear the field. They can't push anyone out. There's probably more discord behind the scenes than we're seeing out in the open.

Actually, he doesn't. I saw a poll (via Insty) that surprised me - he's much more popular among lib boomers than he is among millennials.
That's because he's not hip. He's the nice ghey boy some boomer leftists wish they had, but his peers see him as, in Insty's words, "the kid who actually went to all his piano lessons after school."

One difference between Buttigieg and Obama is that Obama was pretty good about saying little while talking a lot. Buttigieg has fully embraced every progressive position to the extremist degree.
And Buttigieg won't be against McCain, who will gentlemanly refuse to air any bad material of his opponent. He'll be facing Trump, who's going to rub Buttigieg's face in the piss of his own making.

Cruz won the Iowa caucus for the Republicans in 2016, and now he's.....still the senator from Texas.
The Iowa caucus is a chimera.
Bernie will win (or at least get the plurality) of votes in New Hampshire, because Vermont is just next door, and the Leftist Dems all know Bernie. (ptui!).
South Carolina will be interesting, because if Joe does poorly there, his campaign really is over. If he does well, then he hangs on a little longer, at least until Super Tuesday.
Buttigieg will not do well on Super Tuesday.

The Iowa Caucuses are way more accurate at picking the eventual Dem winner than they are at picking the eventual GOP winner.
In recent decades, it's been running about 70% accuracy on the D side.

That's essentially how Trump won the nomination, and he walked into the convention with a clear majority of delegates.
It all depends on how things are proportioned. If he's winning races with 40% and no one else is getting above 15%, he's winning all the delegates.

As far as I know, no.
From what I understand, the rules were changed so that you had to reach 15% of the total vote in a state to be apportioned any delegates, but once you're over 15%, you get delegates proportionally.

Thus, we have Mayor Pete, Angry Amy, and Mayor Mikey.
On the left is a fading Warren and a rising Bernie.
NH, NV, and SC will winnow out a survivor between Mayor Pete and Angry Amy and on the left between Warren and Bernie.
Then we have Mayor Mikey vs. centrist poser to be named later for Super Tuesday and probably Bernie.
The risk for Mayor Mikey is that he is not a people person and is depending solely on money spent in personnel and advertising. I doubt his workers have much passion for him beyond a paycheck. I really see the same problem for Mayor Petey, Angry Amy, and Lieawatha. People may get intellectually invested but not passionate.
Bernie's folks, have the passion to go the distance because they want their paradise on earth via socialism now without equivocation. The others in the Dem race want to keep that in the shade to keep from getting clobbered in the general except for Mayor Mikey who hates the idea.
Absent some awful events, I really think that Trump has this and the major issue is whether or not he can retake the House and keep the Senate and affect state races for redistricting in 2021.

But, cultural things and local parties, you know?
The Dems are the ultimate in low-information voters. They know that Republicans are evil and that's it. The woman who was shocked that Buttgigger is gay basically proved it.

Say what you will about the Electoral College, but it has a certain logic when you understand the US is a collection of states electing a President.
What is the logic of a caucus?
But yea, Bernie is getting screwed, and Bernie has to pretend to be upset, but won't do shit about it.

Maybe Laurel Clark, who WAS military, and was actually killed on a mission.
That matches USAF tradition, in which most bases are named after USAF personnel who were killed in action.

I too think it's much worse - in China - then they're letting on, but spreading rumors when we still have very little knowledge of exactly what this is is counterproductive.

This is something that bears repeating. From what I can tell, once the WuhanFlu gets outside of China it just isn't that virulent. Conditions in China favor it, it would seem. We need to tamp down the urge to panic.

Yup. Just look how he responded when the pro-life Dem woman asked him if he would budge just a tiny bit on the 'abortion up to delivery date' stance of the party to make people like her feel welcome. NOPE.
Also think his Obamaspeak will be challenged against Trump. It definitely has appeal to the #OrangeManBad crowd, but how do you finesse open borders and not even being willing to say *infanticide* should be illegal when confronted with Trump's bluntness?
*No Democrat will say infanticide should be illegal, and I am sure this is per PP, since the undercover videos showed them killing breathing babies

"Buttigieg? Are you serious? He's not about enacting actual change? His connections to corporations and the existing power structure is far too strong. You know he was in the military, right? You know he's good friends with Zuckerberg, right? Facebook won't take down obviously deceptive ads against even Democrats. It's all rigged. The only way to win is to break the system down completely."

Yeah I cannot imagine a more perfect example of a low-info voter. She was a delegate for the caucus. She was an alleged leader among Democrats. And she was not just surprised by but SHOCKED to find out that the openly homosexual candidate who has a husband and talks about his homosexuality was, in fact, homosexual.
How can anyone possibly be that out of touch?

In all seriousness... I wouldn't have an issue with a gay President, as long as he promised to issue Letters of Marque and Reprisal on the Left and create jobs in the land-privateer sector.

1) Overtly gay, which will alienate the dusky segment of the Dem base,
and
2) Lily-white honkey, which has no 'first Black presnit' cache.
If gay does not go well with the vital segment of voters, he's toast.

Buttiboy is going to get less than 5% in every southern state. He doesn't show well at all in this part of the country. And Burnie has built up a huge organization with a lot of support in California - if he gets Lizzie's supporters, Burnie wins Cal easily.

If you don't take precautions, yes. My kid brother got pink eye lots of times when he was a child because he was a dirty little brat who picked up all kinds of shit with his unwashed hands. I was in the bedroom next to him and I've never had pink eye because I kept the hell away from him when he had it, didn't touch him and washed my hands.

45s
After much prayerful soul-searching and following consultations with my family, I've reached the heart-wrenching decision to solemnly support whoever is the Democrat Party's nominee for president in the general election against the President.
I think it's important that each one of us has a duty to look inside our souls in search of what we will tell our grandchildren when history records what we did when it's time to stand before our Creator and answer for our worldly sins both of commission and omission and seek the answers in the words of old Protestant hymns to guide us on our mission as we seek the answers to to unasked questions and history's judgement and under the guidance of Providence
Amen

Actually come to think of it, Peter Thiel may possess more actual power than the President. It might be a step down for him. Though watching him in charge would be a lot of fun, because if you think Trump likes revenge, then Thiel is a revenge gourmand.

Cauci are cheaper and allow more log-rolling by the state and local leaders than a primary. Back when the actual convention meant something and the primaries meant little, this was a good thing for the state party to horse trade for.
Now with it all being done by television, it is just done that way to give the networks a change of pace from NH and the other states.
