Delegate count is all that matters in Iowa, same with the electoral college. If Bernie and company do not like it, they are more than welcome to not participate in the Democratic nominating process. If Bernie would have won Iowa the same way, I doubt they would have much of a problem with it.

He didn’t really get screwed last time around. He got smoked by Hillary in total votes. He has some legit complaints in early voting states where Hillary went 6 for 6 in coin tosses. But at the end of the day, without the Dem machine, Hillary would still have been the nominee.

Here is the only votes that matter..not delegate percentage or popular vote...it's the total delegates...so 11+11+5+2=29 I thought Iowa had 41 total delegates? They doing that super delegate thing again this election?

How is the delegate count decided in IA? From the outside it looks like a convoluted system.

Well the importance of Iowa isn’t its delegates, as much as them being declared the winner for momentum. Considering Sanders won the first votes by a decent margin, and still won the 2nd alignment as well, it’s hard to make an argument against him doing well. They’re both going to send the same amount of delegates to the convention. I think both did very well and will be boosted by this. The most important story is Biden falling to 4th.

Can I hold onto this post for after the Presidential election when all of our resident dems are wanting to tear apart the electoral college?

The most important thing is that, the longer Bernie stays out front , the longer the GOP gets to shine a spotlight on just how big of a socialist he is , and just how far left his absurd policies would take this country . 😊

Pete needs his share of the limelight. The more he gets, the more everyone can see who he really is.

I bet Zep thinks that is a good thing.

If Bernie had won the delegate count and had Pete won the popular votes they'd be just as mad.

The Iowa caucus system is stupid, of course. But the bigger issue here is that Bernie has been running for President for 5 full years now and still doesn't understand how it works.

This says to me that he won't be able to get the delegates and we will have a contested convention. If his team had that much support and screwed it up, then they will screw up elsewhere. It is the opposite of Obama, 2008 where he turned a tie race into a clear delegate victory by understanding primary and caucus rules.

As long as we can hold this post for when Texas demographics make it a blue state and all of our resident Trumplicans are wanting to tear apart the electoral college?
