Ya know it seems like John Delaney might have figured out a better way to spend that money but what do I know?


Also Bernie is gonna verbally dog walk Bloomie. Can't wait to see it.

I still don't know what to make of it when 2020 is pitting actual billionaires against an unstoppable wave of populism. That's some shit I never thought I would see.

So the Iowa caucus reporting is a total clusterfuck, apparently due to a "new app" not working

Jesus F'n Christ people.....

As I saw someone elsewhere astutely point out, the Iowa caucus is all about building momentum, and a big part of that is the winner giving a speech the night of which is all over the evening television. That can't happen now because they basically have to delay the results til tomorrow

cue anti-Bernie conspiracy theories, which we really don't need at this point. Trump will sit there on his golden toilet tweeting away in glee while the democrats cannibalize themselves

Looks like Biden might finish 5th. Considering he's going to finish in 3rd at best in NH next week, I think his campaign might be on shaky ground sooner than anyone expected.

Wait. The company that built the election app was called SHADOW INC!?


I just....*Nick Nolte like grunts and exasperations*

https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/eyo3am/shadow_the_company_that_created_the_app_behind/

"Shadow", the company that created the app behind this Iowa caucuses disaster received money from Pete Buttigieg and the CEO endorsed Pete, is married to a Pete adviser and the company was created one week before Buttigieg announced he was running.

The only takeaways that should be had from Iowa are

1. Biden's campaign is in serious trouble.

2. Bernie's campaign is on the rise. He won the most votes in a very white state with the help of a very non-white voting base.

I have no idea how the Democrats are supposed to compete with this kind of an operation, especially with the in-fighting between factions within the party that are going on. This is a well-oiled, well-funded machine.

Looking good for Bernie! I don't know if Biden's good polling in SC can sustain itself if Bernie wins NH and NV as well. I don't see Buttigieg taking off even with the strong Iowa performance, could be wrong.

Right now, it looks like South Carolina and Alabama are only primaries where Biden is leading the polls. New Hampshire and all of the other Super Tuesday states BernDog is leading.

I could see Mayor Pete picking up some 2nd place finishes and maybe even a few Rust Belt states if Biden drops out early but that's a big if.

Well. Gore was the current VP of a President who was very popular at the time and didn't have as much competition as Biden.

(and he still kind of blew it. I know he won the popular vote and all but he should've beat Bush outright tbh)
