Ah, Iowa keeps on giving

“ An Iowa voter who originally supported former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg in the state's troubled caucuses on Monday night changed her mind after learning he's gay.

A viral video shows a Buttigieg precinct captain telling the caucusgoer that a candidate’s sexuality shouldn’t matter after the woman asked to get her support card back: "He's a human being, right, just like you and me, and it shouldn't really matter.”

Better that woman trying to keep the peace than me. I would sooner die than tell someone I respect their point of view when their point of view is to dismiss someone because of who they love. Fvck her point of view. There might be a thousand reasons Mayor Pete shouldn't be president but I'm sorry, you shouldn't tell someone you respect their point of view if that point of view is he us unqualified because he married another man.

She's a bigot. So are millions of Americans. Christ, remember Pio and Bob Gray? They seemed like genuinely nice people, and they were no worse than average mentally, but they were poisoned by hateful parents and/or pastors to believe extremely stupid sh-t.

The way to deal with this is take their votes and never give them the social policies they want.

Canada is promotion. Mexico is relegation. That's why the map is like that.

Texas is in the drop zone.

I saw my first road sign in VA today. Our primary is March 3.

It was Yang.

Huh. Not so good for Biden.
 
Re: Democratic Challengers 9: Can we climb this mountain? I don't know.

Bernie won the first popular vote with 27k.
Pete had 23.6k

Pete gained 3,300 from first to final. Biden lost 2000.

This is not good for anybody not nicknamed "Mayor Pete". I only saw like one poll out of a thousand that had Buttigieg in the lead and I think it was one of his relatives that commissioned it. ;)

St. Bernard of Vermont allegedly had all of the momentum going into the last week, so this isn't good for him although he will most likely win NH.

Warren could have used at least a strong 2nd place showing. Instead she's quite a bit off the frontrunners which makes NH even that more important.

Uncle Joe's Zombie campaign shuffles on due to the muddle but he now lives and dies with the unpredictable Nevada caucus. Presumably he can still bank South Carolina because of his strong African American support but if he goes 1 for 4 in the first contests I'd expect his supporters to get more comfortable with Mayor Pete or Mayor Bloomberg! :eek:

Correct.

Klobuchar only lost 700.
Steyer lost 1600.
Yang lost 4600.

That makes sense because Yang and Steyer, and Klobuchar for that matter, had a huge hill to climb to get to 15%. I'm guessing 90%+ precincts had Steyer and Yang below 15%.

Nevada has the big hotel employees union that should be good for Biden. It has a high Latino population; I have no idea who that's good for outta these people, but I do know whoever our nominee is had better name Abrams or Castro and their running mate.
