He is not going to hit many thresholds (generally 15%) so he'll get 0 delegates and just take votes from the moderate wing. As a Bernie/Warren fan...thank you for your service.Wolfgang622 wrote:slugsrbad wrote:JUburton wrote:Feel like we're all letting the petementum get us here.
He 'won' a state with weird voting rules with questionable tabulation. This and NH are great states for him. Bernie won more raw votes in both caucus rounds and delegates are delivered proportionally. Bernie has far stronger minority support which didn't help much in Iowa and won't in NH. Biden also has far better minority support than Pete does. And it's unfortunate but his support is probably going to suffer in the south because of who he married.
If Bernie/Pete finish clear 1/2 in NH, it's Bernie/Biden/Pete on Super Tuesday. If Bernie shows strongly then it's basically over. If Biden charges back it's going to be a real cluster fuck.
You’re forgetting about Bloomberg.
Bloomberg can only fuck over Buttigieg/Biden. I wonder what he thinks he's accomplishing?
I think how his campaign makes sense for the Democratic party is the farthest thing from his mind. He saw there wasn't consensus, and in his mind he's the man with the answers who will save the country. Guess you always need a big ego to run for President, but his is supersized.
I'm not sure things are qute as set as they might appear. Over 30% of Iowa voters voted for a female candidate, I see it as difficult for the Party to jettison this idea so early in the process. Have no idea how the mechanics will work, though.
