Very well done by her.  I didn't think the other woman was "flipping out" but the worker was definitely in a tough spot,. The woman being surprised at Pete's sexuality, irrespective of her opinion on the topic, definitely shows that she is pretty damned uninformed and probably should not vote for anyone.  

 

Although not filmed, she took back her card and turned it in for Biden then said "wait a minute, are you telling me this guy sniffs people's hair"?

that worker handled that well. Good for her, I mean, what do you say in that situation!  Yikes. 
 

IN today’s age, wouldn’t be surprised if this was a plant or set up. I mean who doesn’t know Pete B is gay?  Seems fishy. Also, why was someone recoding that?  Just a small spidey sense thing.

Smart. 

 

I was very skeptical of the whole thing in 2016.  We had a caucus in my state.  They have since changed it to a primary this year.  Anyway, I was caucusing for Bernie.  I volunteered to be precinct captain so I could watch the votes being counted to make sure no Hillary monkey business was going on.

Legit question regarding the apparently failed Iowa Caucuses for the Dems that venture to this portion of the board.  Are you ticked off, embarrassed, indifferent, or other by what appears to this outsider to be either gross corruption or gross incompetence?  Suppose in fairness, it could be both.

 

And, considering the D party always claims to be the party of the little guy (or the person without a voice to be less gender specific), does it ever get frustrating to see them once again act in a manner that only helps the established power structure?  (Not expecting an answer to that one, but would appreciate any feedback you wouldn't mind supplying.)

 

I think amused is the right answer.  I watched last night because I knew Bernie would have a strong showing and I wanted to see how CNN spun it.  I was surprised by how poorly Biden did and how well Buttigieg did.  When I first turned it on around 9 expecting to see some results they were still showing different precincts and discussing candidates.  Then the fun began.  They showed Biden supporters that were not going to be viable, Warren supporters that wow had such huge numbers, then Sanders which was larger than Warren and they quickly moved past it.  The night continued to get worse for Biden and then they started to get impatient waiting for results.  I eventually had to turn it though, watching politics on tv is anxiety inducing.  So much sky is falling, doom preaching, and arguing.

 

Then I woke up to something glorious this morning.  Straight out of the Trump playbook.  Sanders wasn't going to let the DNC screw them so they had someone at each and every polling place.  They were keeping their own numbers!  Then it comes out that it is a discrepancy between their numbers and the DNC which caused the hold up and I couldn't wipe the smile from my face.  Then it comes out that the poll that was scrapped showed him winning.  DNC has been exposed and I enjoy when people that abuse their power get their comeuppance.  Dummies don't understand how the world currently works.  People will be outraged the more apparent it becomes they are screwing Sanders and only energize his base more.

 

On a side not how terrible are caucuses?  I was talking with my wife last night about this.  You don't get to vote in private and it takes hours to complete.  We have 2 small children and therefore would have to decide which 1 of the 2 of us got to vote.  My house with 2 registered voters would only get 1 vote.  I have to imagine this effects many people.  Between childcare, working, and/or other responsibilities, how are people supposed to participate in this democratic process?  Unless that is the point...

i'm enjoying the irony of how democrats spent the last 40 months railing against the electoral college, then pull off this caricature of an election

methinks it's the other way around

[B-Man]

AT LONG LAST LIVE: Let’s Try This Again: LIVE 2020 Iowa Caucus Results.

 

 

 

Democrats say they have figures for 62% of the precincts. 62% of precincts could be a small percentage of the actual votes casts. Some precincts have 8 voters, some 800.

 

 

 

It at least looks like they’re gaming the narrative.

...all depends what fits the outcome......Electoral College was established in 1787 and worked fine for 229 years until Arkansas' feral hog got smoked in 2016...."if you can't beat 'em, change the rules".....find me a better example of sore losers and I'll STFU.....
