Live: Iowa Caucus

[Snarknado]

Buttgigger and Sanders can both declare a victory in IA.  Sanders got more votes, Buttgigger got more Delegates, last I saw.

Sanders failed to get the decisive victory he was expecting though, and didn't put as much distance between himself and Warren as was expected.

I always expected Biden to implode from gaffes, but it seems he's just the same shaky candidate as in his previous tries. I read where he had to pull an ad buy in SC to try to shore up NV. I think the gaffes are still inevitable but they may not matter much at this point. The debate will be interesting - coasting won't be an option this time.

It's also interesting that with all the precincts in, Sanders won the first round by just over 6.1K but only 2.6K on the second.

Looks like alot of votes shifted to The Buttgigger.

How that gives him a lead in delegates I have no clue. I don't understand the Dem secret sauce formula, and I don't think anyone else does either.

I think it's like the Electoral College.  If Sanders racked up big wins in only a few counties, then he would have fewer delegates.

That's my understanding. It seems to work like the electoral college on the state level.

Sanders has to be seriously steamed because we all know that ButtPlug got ALL the homo votes that would have normally gone to him. He would have won in a landslide if he wasn't going against a homo.

Can't wait for that old fool to blow up while standing behind a microphone on a live broadcast.

And make no mistake about it,Mayor ButtPlug is going to get ALL the "just imagine a world...../let's make history!" votes that Bathhouse Barry got in the general election if he makes it that far.

That would make sense. The bulk of Sanders support was mostly concentrated in urban and surrounding counties, Butgigger's was rural and broader, and he was second in many of the counties Sanders won.

Ironic though if that's true though, that they would be using an EC type of delegate distribution, since they are against the EC.

Oh yeah, it's rich with irony.  Like spinach.

@sneakypete

Can't disagree with that. Been watching him since he rose in the Iowa polls a few months back and have been wondering if the Dems are going to go with a light resume but heavy charisma gay Obama, and hope for another miracle.

@Free Vulcan

You obviously mean "ANOTHER light resume but heavy charisma Presidential candidate" because Bathhouse Barry is as queer as it gets.

Good thing it's not from Mayor ButtPlug because it could be seen as a combination proposal and wedding gift.
