Bernie won the first round but Pete kicked ass in the second.

[mobeau69]

He was the second choice of caucus goers by way more than Bernie.

1. Makes sense. People either absolutely love Bernie or hate him.

So he is a lot of people's 1st choices.... but not many people's 2nd choices.

[mobeau69]

3. That's the way it looks to me. Warren was the same as Pete vis a vis second choices.

13. I don't think that Bernie can bring himself to say a single

positive thing about the Democratic Party on the camoaign trial. If you are a democrat that has given you entire adult life to the party, that is a slap in the face.

2. Hope Joe got the message that people don't want same old same old.

4. Buttigieg looks to be the main one that was competitive with Sanders.

Therefore, when a lot of the nonviable candidates had to decide who to go with, a lot apparently went with Buttigieg to put him over the top.

Sanders and his supporters learning the hard way that it's not smart to shit on Democrats and then expect them to turn around and support you.

In a way, we are probably seeing on a micro scale what would happen in the event of a brokered convention. You can't piss everyone off and then expect them to turn around and support you with open arms.

5. As an Iowa resident

I'm ready to turn this over to the rest of the country for awhile.

Have at it!

8. Be careful, a lot of rural areas coming in first. Bigger college towns will probably be last. nt

9. Pete was 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice in all but 6 counties.

Very impressive in comparison to other candidates.

[maximusveritas]

20. Where are you getting that from?

Most of the counties are 60% in across the state. Bernie and Pete are running even in the biggest counties like Polk, Linn, and even Black Hawk. Johnson and Story County where Bernie has an obvious edge with the colleges are 80 and 65%% in. I do think Sanders will probably move ahead of Pete by the end, but still will be close.

10. I think in a full count Bernie will probably be ahead...

I also think Pete was absolutely right to call it a victory.

[mobeau69]

12. No matter what happens, if you didn't know Pete on the rainy day he announced in South Bend

you wouldn't have thunk it possible.

[Corgigal]

18. Ain't this the truth.

We just gave him money, month after month. The kid would have to run the states, but we had his funding.

He did, and it paid off. Amazing.

11. Lets wait for the complete results before jumping to any conclusions. n/t

[mobeau69]

14. Who's jumping to conclusions?

[squirecam]

19. The projections are that Pete won

16. I don't think he was viable in the round of which you speak.

[jayschool2013]
