Never watched this caucus stuff before. This is wacked. No wonder America is effed up. It's feels like it's cheerleader tryouts.

Iowa is pretty messed up then. This feels like one of those comedy shows with Cohen.

Do the Republicans do the same? except they point guns at you to red rover to another part of the gym?

Nah, lots of states have caucuses. Some states even have both a caucus and a primary.

If it ends

1 Bernie
2 Pete

3 Warren
4 Biden

5 Klobuchar

as some early numbers point to as a possibility, what happens next? Does the stop Bernie crowd coalesce around someone like Pete? Is Biden viable anymore? Does the progressive wing more solidly move to Bernie from Warren? So many possibilities.

Bloomberg is where the establishment will go.

lol no. Bloomberg's participation is utterly pointless. He's far less viable than other options. Even Klobuchar is more likely.

My guess is that nothing happens immediately as a result of Iowa itself. Everyone will wait until after New Hampshire.

What Iowa does is create additional momentum for New Hampshire, where Sanders is already quite strong. So an answer your question might be delayed, but it seems fairly inevitable at this point.

Bloomberg has unlimited funds, I wouldn't discount the fact the first two caucuses are only worth 3-4% of the delegates. Sure you get the momentum from the first two, but mathematically it isn't the end. Mayo Pete and Klobuchar have been in this since early and have very little traction.

It’s not far off Canadian leadership conventions. I don’t mind it. I like that it requires people thinking and considering choices for the second round.

Buttigieg has no shot, his minority numbers are far too abysmal to be able to be the nominee.

I love caucusing. Probably one of my favourite parts of the weird American take on democracy.

Caucusing would be way more fun if you had some of the joke candidates they have in the UK like Count Binface and Lord Buckethead.

Basically he's setting up to get absolutely creamed in South Carolina. Even there though, Biden is bleeding a lot of support, it sounds like.

I could definitely see that if Iowa, NH, Nev, and South Carolina are all a messy split of winners and runners up. Bloomberg has set his campaign up around that notion - he is running a Super Tuesday campaign. If it is one or two clear frontrunners after these first four, he'll probably not have any chance.

He would need a Biden collapse in advance of South Carolina, I think - to make the black support picture much more murky. It would also depend if Biden chose to endorse someone.

They should just play 3-on-3 longer until someone wins.
