The Iowa Caucuses committed suicide. Hopefully this will end this BS and states will move to a fairer system with polling stations opens all day and paper ballots,,,,,

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

Around 1 AM the anchors were saying it looks like Pete, Warren and Sanders were the "winners," with the possibility that Pete had done considerably better than expected. Now most of the threads say it was utter chaos and nobody is happy, and one thread even saying it's over for Mayor Pete.

6. What an absolute DISASTER

Nobody won. America lost.

People showed up, and nothing functioned.

Who got the most supporters ? It depends on who you ask, but we will never have a real idea.

Because in some precincts, 111 equals 60, and that equals 42.

The answer to life, the Universe, and everything, is...apparently, 42.

for results, but I'm so glad I went to bed.

The only thing I enjoyed seeing was the video of Trump acting out during the national anthem. I thought he might have been drunk, but he says he doesn't drink (another lie?).

is Chris Cuomo ranting, "Iowa had one job, just one job to do, just one single thing it had to do right..."

Then I awoke to people screaming at each other on social media.

I was a lot younger then and could bounce back from being awake 30+ hours straight. It would kill me now.

he woke me up around midnight and 5am to tell me "we still don't know who won" in Nov. 2000. Shocking. Frustrating. Scary.

and the talking heads were saying, basically, we have three winners, and now when everybody is despondent.

Why don't we say we had three winners and move on?

We're letting Trump narrate the story of Iowa?
