Bernie Sanders just SAVED the Democratic Party

Here is why...

Before Bernie demanded greater transparency about the Iowa Caucus results reporting process

THERE WAS NO PAPER TRAIL.

Imagine the even more immense debacle this would all be without a paper trail.

It might have been enough to damage our 2020 chances against Trump by discrediting our primaries and sowing irreparable dissension.

So, I will say it for all of us...

Thank you Bernie, thank you for getting us a paper trail in the Iowa Caucus.

I will be honest about setting expectations for my candidate.

There's a lot of "lowering expectations" gamesmanship going on in posts today as people get just a little nervous about tonight's caucus.

So let me buck that trend and tell you what would be a damaging sub-par performance for my preferred candidate, Senator Elizabeth Warren.

Third place would be meh. Second place a reason to keep fighting hard. Winning a huge plus.

Anyone else care to share what they think would be a damaging performance by their candidate? Add your upside takes too, but you need to say what a bad performance would be.

Getting 1 delegate tonight qualifies you for the Debate!

The DNC rules for the next debate says that anyone getting 1 delegate in either Iowa or New Hampshire would qualify for the Feb. Debate.

Will Bloomberg or Yang get that lucky one magic delegate? Will Klobuchar?

What excuses will Pollsters give when they turn out to be wrong about Iowa?

lol

The polls for Iowa, and the primary in general, have been all over the place.

Yeah, we are told to just average them out to get a better picture of the polling landscape, but averaging in erroneous polls does impact the aggregate polling average. But that was the best we could do before actual voting started.

.

Should we continue to blindly accept polling predictions going forward from pollsters that end up being off by a lot?

Seems that South Carolina "firewall" the Biden Campaign was counting on is starting to crumble, doesn't it?

The Iowa Expectation Game

Tell us what place the candidates must finish in the Iowa Caucus to meet expectations. Also, what finish would be particularly disappointing or invigorating.

Here are mine:
