I think if Pete wins Iowa

[Legends303]

That the Democratic electorate wants someone new and Biden and Sanders reminds them of the same old, same old. Just my thoughts on things.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I like Pete and I'm glad that he's doing well,

but Iowa doesn't mean anything. It's a small, rural, white state that has a caucus system that prevents a whole lot of people from participating, so the results can't be extrapolated to anywhere else. It's an outlier and doesn't deserve the weight it gets from the media.

3. X1000 nt.

[Wellstone ruled]

2. Watch for a Brokered

Convention. Sad to say,the Guy who is leading thus far in Iowa,will not be the Person leading the Dem Ticket. The Deep pockets will have their way.

15. What about New Hampshire and the other 48 states?

Seems premature to pack it in.

[William769]

4. I absolutley love PETE!

With that said, Iowa will only be good for his fundraising. South Carolina will be a true test.

5. that's just one state.. everything does not

depend on Iowa.

[Thekaspervote]

6. But Cha.. we're supposed to think it is!!🤯

[Cha]

14. Yeah.. but not buying it. I'm happy for Pete

but let's see what other states have to say.

[LakeArenal]

17. Thrilled for Pete. Not worried about Joe.

They have been saying Pete would win for a couple weeks. I’m not surprised.

[Cha]

22. Yes.. and anything can happen..

15 candidates who won the Iowa caucus, but lost the presidency — and the 3 presidents who won both

Hola, LA

[leftieNanner]

7. This is true

I believe President Rick Santorum won Iowa a few years back.

[William769]

10. I don't know if your statement is funny or sad

Given who we have right now.

[leftieNanner]

12. Meant to be funny

But I get your point. I am astounded every single day at how low we have fallen since January 20, 2017. And it's only made worse by the fact that I know we haven't reached the bottom yet.

[William769]

13. Amen to that.

[Cha]

18. Yeah.. more than a few won in the first

state who didn't go on to win the nom.

8. I think you're reading entirely too much into a small state caucus

[yaesu]

9. Iowa is a red state so what happens in Iowa, stays in Iowa

[CentralMass]

11. It should be a very interesting primary.

[drray23]

16. Iowa is not representative of the democratic electorate.

The first two states in the primary contest are heavily majority white. The backbone of the party is largely made up of African Americans. Basically, we are saying let the white people decide what's best, you black guys should just vote for whomever we choose (for the record, I am white)

Pete is doing well in Iowa because he is a midwesterner and appeals to most age demographics, unlike Bernie Sanders who is horrible amongst older people and supported enthusiastically by young people and Joe Biden who has the opposite problem.

[LakeArenal]

19. If that be true, Bernie is the one with the problem

Because I have seen Joe with a college aged crowd and they liked him very much.

Also pictures show young folks phone banking and working for local offices.

20. time for beto, kamala, and booker to jump back in? nt

[Autumn]

21. I'm shocked that Biden fell so short in the first hurdle.

[LeftInTX]

23. I watch the Republican primaries:

This is who won the Iowa Caucuses
2008: Huckabee
2012: Santorum

We have 15 candidates or something like that.....(depending on the state). When you have alot of candidates, it makes it more difficult to read the tea leaves.

Did you know that the DMR had to scrap their last poll before the caucus because they messed up and didn't read all the names of the candidates? (Someone had enlarged their screen and didn't see all the candidates names, so the poll was invalid)
