    Re: Democratic Challengers 9: Can we climb this mountain? I don't know.

    IIRC, I owned the libs by requesting a Republican ballot and voting for McCain in that primary. That was before his staffers told him to chose that drooling moron from Alaska for Veep.

I get White Suburbanites are important but lets lay off the White Guilt Card for this election. If the Minorities wanted a candidate to have a shot instead of the Old White Brigade they should have voted in greater numbers.

      Castro adds nothing...I may not agree with your Abrams take (I want her groomed for better than Veep) but she brings way more to the table than [Insert Minority Who Plays Well With Whites Here] like Castro. White Liberal Guilty People dont want the "Lighter Shade of Latino" they already tried that with Obama. Either go full on or take Mayor Pete and walk away with this thing but double the guilt.

      Hell, give me Pete/Abrams and watch the Dems give Trump/Pence a coronary. A Black Woman and a White Gay Vet from Indiana...Faux News might collapse like Sauron's Tower in the Return of the King

              According to a quote on Colbert the precinct workers in IA were not given any app training prior to the caucus.

                  Based on interviews with some precinct managers, training was optional. Or, at the very least, you could download it beforehand and get familiar with it. It sounds like many thought they could just get it after the caucus was over and enter some numbers and that would be it.

                      not for nothing....but when many here went on about tD having no experience and a president should be a dude with political experience--are we really on board with a mayor from south frigin' bend, indiana?

                        these are two separate arguments, no?

                        but if they don't, then why is america wasting their collective time doing so

                          Perez is on the hot seat after Iowa. Never should have been hired in the first place.

                            Agreed. No reason for anybody to drop out after absurd Iowa caucus event.

                            Having said that, I do question where all of these young people who are going to overwhelm the old world order *any day now* are actually going to do so. That's pretty much the rationale for the Sanders candidacy for example. Yet the Dem turnout was 170K by latest estimates compared to 160K in 2016 and 240K in 2008. So...what happened to all of these new voters taking back our country?

                            Finally while he's 4th on my list of preferred candidates we should give Buttigieg his due. I went back and looked at the polls leading up to the caucus to make sure I was remembering this right. It was true - ALL polling underestimated his vote by an average of 10%. This from the least well known candidate of the bunch.

                              That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
