8. That sounds quite reasonable, but probably a bit overblown.

NH isn't for another 2 weeks, and there'll be plenty of time to talk about the IA results and "the leaders going into NH." Plus, nothing like a pileup to cause people to slow and gawk.

As for the other, I'm just mildly curious about what they're saying over on places where those prone to unreason and excessive political aggression act out. I'm not inclined to go find out myself.

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

Bernie and Pete get screwed, everyone loses. [View all] DanTex Feb 2020 OP

Boy, and that we wouldn't be seeing this kind of stuff Hortensis Feb 2020 #1

Poor poor bernie 😥 Thekaspervote Feb 2020 #3

This is not a conspiracy theory. The Sanders and Buttigieg campaigns *did* get screwed. DanTex Feb 2020 #4

That sounds quite reasonable, but probably a bit overblown. Hortensis Feb 2020 #8

May be overblown. But maybe not. DanTex Feb 2020 #12

:) Delegates rule, DanTex. The frivolous, silly minds you're Hortensis Feb 2020 #22

lol Bernie is not a victim ! stonecutter357 Feb 2020 #26

Until we get the official numbers, we don't really know for sure who did well. :) nt Sloumeau Feb 2020 #2

Yeah, but however the numbers turn out, we don't get an "Iowa moment" like Obama 2008. DanTex Feb 2020 #5

Alexandra Rojas, Executive Director of Justice Democrats, declared a few minutes ago... George II Feb 2020 #6

Where did you see this? :) nt Sloumeau Feb 2020 #7

About a half hour ago on CNN. George II Feb 2020 #9

Can't the Justice Democrats . . . DarthDem Feb 2020 #27

I think the problem is what this country is and always has been about, cilla4progress Feb 2020 #10

Is that what it's all about, that we get to see a "victory speech"? George II Feb 2020 #11

That's part of it. Iowa is a proving ground, it's about momentum not delegates. DanTex Feb 2020 #13

A victory speech could have been huge femmedem Feb 2020 #15

The truth is in the numbers...they don't lie. Thekaspervote Feb 2020 #14

I guess by "the real story" you mean that Biden got crushed. DanTex Feb 2020 #16

But in post #13 you criticized Biden for not pouring money into Iowa. TexasTowelie Feb 2020 #28

No I didn't. The opposite. DanTex Feb 2020 #29

Bernie ain't no Obama NCProgressive Feb 2020 #17

Of course Sanders was among the most oppressed. It's his thing. LanternWaste Feb 2020 #18
