1. I'm Hoping for a Ridiculous Outcome in a Way To Show The Folly of the Caucus

Pete, Yang and Steyer coming in 1-2-3 would do it. It'll take something that outlandish for folks to step back and question the wisdom of the IA caucus setting the initial field for a party that has become as diverse as the Democrats. What we have here is basically an all White ticket vying for the votes of a nearly all White electorate. If a person can't see any issue with that they're probably a Bernie supporter.

BTW, I'm not even watching it.

"How the Universe Works" is on.
