God I can’t wait. Video clip of Collins making her bullshit statement followed by Trump spiking the football and dancing in the endzone to celebrate his acquittal. Giuliani is already on tape after the trial being evasive about continuing investigations in Ukraine, finally saying the President hasn’t told him to STOP…

Well said.  

I also think it was right to call out what looks to be textbook erasure of non-white voters.

I understand the sentiment; however, doing the wrong thing for the right reasons is still wrong (or, the lesser of two evils is still evil).

I suppose it says something about our instant gratification expectations that a delay of a day or two seems like a complete eternity.

My worry (or at least, the foremost of them) with Buttigieg is that he will wind up the puppet king (so to speak) for powerful interests, particularly those working hardest to fund him now.

The Caucuses have a by-name paper trail, too, with everyone’s name and address on the cards along with their choices. The notion that it could be faked is really really a massive stretch, at best.

Well sure, Sanders has the old college professor with tenure vibe, and his supporters generally have the iconoclastic undergrad who is drawn to the old man who says whatever he wants because the administration can’t touch him vibe.

Yup. I’d rather have the results be correct than fast.

Fuck you, I’m brown. What kind of head in the sand person is trying to present Iowa as diverse? LOL.

Just to be clear, I’m not saying that there was in fact fraud, only that it’s not surprising that people are suspicious there may have been and that they didn’t need much if any prompting from candidates to have concerns. Many people are just seeing the headlines here and aren’t reading the full story.

Well, he is an amateur. So that’s on brand.

I wish this weren’t being painted as a disaster and failure of the whole democratic primary. The app didn’t work, but they had paper backups, so the system worked! If people had the ability to wait a damn minute for them to count the votes, we wouldn’t have all this bullshit hand-wringing about how the system (that…

I see absolutely no value in releasing the partial results. Say Buttigieg’s delegate lead holds, Sanders supporters will doubt legitimacy of the results or complain about how the caucuses are objectively undemocratic. But say Sanders pulls ahead in the delegate count and everything is more or less where we thought it…

Fucking Pete. Buttigieg.

The real irony is that Biden was the candidate who put this “rigged” narrative out there.

twitter says warren is coming in just behind bernie and a quite bit ahead of pete&biden at the caucuses. so.... maybe we don’t write this off yet?

Iowa Mean is apparently also insisting that Iowa being first in party primaries should be enshrined forever despite the Constitution never once mentioning (1) political parties, (2) primaries, or (3) Iowa.

“Iowa Mean” is deciding for the rest of the country that 80% of announced candidates will be irrelevant after 100,000 white septuagenarians make their choices known. 

As much as the comment section is overrun by complaints about horse race polling, and the rush to declare a winner, I can’t be the only one wishing there was some kind of running update on how the caucus is going.

The suspense is killing me.
