Something not being discussed coming out of Iowa.....

The #YangGang didn't show up.

Andrew Yang currently has 5% w/ 71% reporting and doesn't look to be making it in New Hampshire (polling 4-6%), Nevada (4%) or South Carolina (2%).

How long does he last?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

despite his standing in national, NH, and SC polls. Not to mention the fact he never made Iowa a priority.

There are a lot of smart people on DU, but when I see posts like that, I have to wonder who is stirring the "koolaid"...

Pete Buttigieg - 10 million+ spent
Bernie Sanders - 10million+ spent

Joe Biden - 4 million+ spent

Joe Biden recognized the downside for him to invest heavily in two of the least diverse states in the union. Two states tailor made for a Bernie Sanders or Pete Buttigieg. I believe the polls for POC will bear that conclusion out.

The suggestion that Biden withdraw after one poorly run caucus is preposterous.

After California holds their primary he will then have to face the reality of his situation and I suspect his fund-raising will collapse. I have no doubt that Yang knows how to do the math so I expect he will withdraw sometime in March.
