1. No surprise where this is coming from

[Docreed2003]

2. That's so freaking disgusting

[greenjar_01]

3. A certain segment of Bernie supporters are always asking us not to look to Russia

[yardwork]

5. I've noticed that. Accusations of Russophobia, etc.

[TwilightZone]

4. Sounds like something Trump would tweet.

Which I don't think is entirely a coincidence. The similarity is more than likely intentional.

[LakeArenal]

51. If it walks like a skunk and snarls like a skunk?

Edit: it was supposed to be smelled.
But snarl works.

[TwilightZone]

53. Skunks do snarl if they're rabid.

Still seems apt, yes. lol

[redqueen]

6. Pete fed this by subtly declaring victory.

The media helped by hyping up what he said.

I wish everyone would calm the f down.

[melman]

8. Subtly?

He flat-out declared himself the victor. It's outrageous.

10. And? What is wrong with that? Politicians see their silver lining in everything.

He did what I expect any good politician to do.

[melman]

11. Then how come none of the other candidates did it?

[Blue_true]

44. You're have to ask them. Buttigieg did nothing wrong.

Time will tell whether his strategy is right.

[Loki Liesmith]

54. It's fine. Politics ain't beanbag.

Deal.

[babylonsister]

35. Thank you! There's nothing at all wrong with this. nt

[Autumn]

14. It's being reported that Federal Election Commission filing shows Shadow has also been paid

for services by the Buttigieg and Biden presidential campaigns. So People are going to wonder about that.

[melman]

15. There's also this tweet from Shadow CEO Tara McGowan

[Autumn]

18. Yeah, that going to go over like a lead balloon, and now Biden is filing to halt the partial

release that was scheduled for today.

[Zolorp]

17. Yeah, because correlation is causation

[Autumn]

19. Yeah Zolorp... cause whatever. nt

[Zolorp]

21. Please, there is no reason to make fun of a screen name.

Geeze, there was no way I deserved that.

[Autumn]

23. Oh man an accidental extra 0. The pain must be unbearable

It's going to be okay, I took the o out.

[zackymilly]

30. LOL nt

[ArtTownsend]

28. Yep. Ratfucking.

[Devil Child]

12. Agreed n/t

[JudyM]

13. True.

[TwilightZone]

25. Sanders did the same.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287473732

Does that make him a cheat, as well?

[Cha]

62. Good Question.

[ArtTownsend]

27. Yep.

[krissey]

46. So, it is the victims fault? Lol. There is a reason a lot of us social justice people have issue

with this campaign, and these supporters.

[redqueen]

47. Did I say it was his fault, krissey? BTW happy 2nd day on DU.

[krissey]

48. Pete did "feed" the poor behavior after all.

[squirecam]

58. He wasn't wrong

He will get the most delegates.

[Cha]

61. Pete had every right to give his speech..

Buttigieg with a narrow lead in Iowa with 62% of results in.

[R B Garr]

7. Such a vile pattern. Five years of it. nt

[Cha]

63. +1

[awesomerwb1]

9. Predictably disgusting

Been doing a lot of fighting on Twitter. With MAGAts and Bernie bros. Both pushing the same accusations of conspiracy, corruption and asking for Perez' resignation.

[Zolorp]

16. I swear, if Sanders ever muzzled his so-called supporters, he'd win this thing hands down

His supporters just turn everybody off to Sanders and alienates people.

His supporters are the biggest reason he has Berned so many bridges over the past five years.

[zackymilly]

31. How would Sanders do that?

[Zolorp]

32. Ar least condemn the behavior

He refused to go that when his delegates booed John Lewis at the 2016 convention, for example.

His silence becomes quiet approval.

[ecstatic]

56. + infinity. nt

[NYMinute]

20. Mayor Pete is an outstanding candidate and doesn't deserve this

Fuck the supporters of the messianic candidate for maligning a great Democrat

[NYMinute]

22. Isn't it astonishing that Bernie supporters

are not only condoning but encouraging this behavior?

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeez louise

[mercuryblues]

24. Sanders' campaign is declaring victory

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287473732

Does that now, since they are claiming a win suddenly mean no cheating was involved?

Why is it when Sanders loses he and/or his surrogates immediately claim cheating. When he wins it is on the up & up?

Yeah, that hashtag is disgusting.

[radical noodle]

26. They're angry because Pete

did exactly what BS did, only better.

[Cha]

33. +1

[R B Garr]

34. Exactly! Pete beat him at his own game.

Bravo!

[Cha]

60. ..

[redstatebluegirl]

36. I hope he beat him soundly but I doubt it.

[floppyboo]

37. Um, no. Sanders' app beat the Shadow app

And those are the inconsistencies that will end up being a HUGE embarrassment to Pete. That and the chorus line of unusually good looking black women behind him during his Victorious declarations. We can read polls. Is he trying to compete with Trump for game showiness? I threw up in my mouth a little watching that.

[radical noodle]

38. Unusually good looking black women?

Seriously?

[floppyboo]

39. Ya - like really hot! Beauty is rare.

Or do you think all art is pedestrian? Come on. Yes, unusually good looking. Like hired photo opp girls. Surely you can make an aesthetic judgement without getting slammed?

Edit
But this is a distraction from the fact that he been hovering btwn 0-4% approval from AA's. It was just too convenient. Trying a little too hard.

[radical noodle]

40. Everyone is beautiful

in their own way. I wasn't looking at the crowd, I was watching Pete. So glad to hear he had "unusually good looking black women" behind him.

[floppyboo]

42. oh god. Now I've got a Ray Stevens ear worm! Damn!

Karma. guess I deserved it.

[radical noodle]

50. Intentionally

Can't think of anyone more deserving.

[radical noodle]

41. If you're implying he has no black supporters

you'd be wrong.

[floppyboo]

43. bbtw 0 and 4 is not zero

[ehrnst]

59. I know, right?

[krissey]

45. Kinda like "lyingWarren". And whatever they said about Harris. And what they say about Biden.

[radical noodle]

49. If Amy had been leading, she'd have been labeled the same

It sounds very familiar, doesn't it? Amy did very well last night and had a great speech after.

[evertonfc]

52. Everything is corporate to these people.

Happy to see the Mayor do well.

[ecstatic]

55. They are disgusting. As usual

[getagrip_already]

57. welcome to salted earth politics.....

Not only doesn't it work, it backfires when used as friendly fire.

[xmas74]

64. I'm in Iowa often

Every time I was there for a meeting with one group or another I saw either Booker, Buttigieg or Klobuchar. I only saw Sanders at large events. Buttigieg and Klobuchar both had good ground games in Iowa. I've heard the elevator pitches, received handshakes and took selfies on several occasions with them. They knew they needed to focus on smaller groups along with Des Moines and they did.

He had a good ground game. My friend has a 20 year old and a 25 year old. The 25 year old is married to a 23 year old. Last night my friend caucused for Warren while her sons and daughter-in-law were back and forth between Buttigieg and Klobuchar. Eventually her sons went with Pete and daughter-in-law went with Amy. Why? Because they'd met them enough,spoke to them and felt they cared .

There was no cheating by Mayor Pete.
