Members Khan Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 Partial Results Show Buttigieg With Narrow Lead Over Sanders https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/iowa-caucus-updates-02-04?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 I predicted 2 months ago Buttigieg would win this. What’s hilarious if he does is that Sanders team that fought so hard at keeping them in place don’t understand them. Buttigieg and Warren were both high as second choice candidates. Sanders was ahead in the first round but people who had to move after their candidate did not make 15% went to Buttigieg and Warren. Bernie was polling dead last as a second choice. Funny how Bernie might win the “popular” vote yet lose the caucus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 Probably so. After this the DNC is likely to shift things around and give a more diverse state first voting status. Illinois would be the perfect state to allow to go first, since it basically mirrors the demographics of the country and has plenty of rural areas so no one can say that rural voters wouldn't have say, plus it is Midwestern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 Actually our new Governor already talked about that and tweeted about it today. I am not sure I would like the chaos but at least we do have minority populations that our democratic and yes AA and Latino public servants who are part of the machine in Illinois ignore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 Illinois uses a primary instead of a caucus, so the chaos would be out of the equation. If you mean chaos by candidates and campaigns flooding the state then that definitely would be an adjustment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 Oh yeah sorry. We have a very robust voting system. We have auto registration that happens when you apply for a license, early voting that is easily accessible across the state, no voting purges like other states do, and easy mail in voting. The chaos would be the candidates all over the state endlessly for months. I am sure our Governor would love it lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ReddFoxx Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 Nancy hands his crap right back too him and without hesitation. He set the rules of engagement for his President and all she is doing is play by them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) And as expected, the WH officially condemned her on Twitter, saying she was ripping up: "One of our last surviving Tuskegee Airmen. The survival of a child born at 21 weeks. The mourning families of Rocky Jones and Kayla Mueller. A service member's reunion with his family." I've got to hand it to the Republicans: they know how to play on the old heartstrings like no other.

Members Juliajms Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 It surprises me that both Warren and Sanders seem to have done better than Biden in IA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 5, 2020 Members Share Posted February 5, 2020 Biden had fallen in polling toward the end and had stopped contesting the state as much...a part of me thinks well that's just Iowa, but he has so little money and no real momentum. I'm hoping South Carolina will turn his campaign around but it's what happens after where I'm more wary. If any other centrist alternative was viable he'd probably be done soon, but they aren't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
