The "olds" have will put Sanders over the top in Florida. 

[GSU&UT 1,798]

If that's retired old people who are snowbirds that's 100% unsurprising.

[GSU&UT 1,798]

Also Biden is fucked if he's not even winning the olds in Florida. That is shocking to me.

If there's any pertinent info from that Florida caucus, this might be it. 

 

[Fozzz 152]

Could we finally see the Biden implosion many have been expecting for months?  A fourth or fifth place finish in Iowa would be hard for him to overcome. 

[HRSchenker 2,268]

NYTimes just released a round of voting

1. Klobuchar 32%
2. Pete 26.3%
3. Biden 18.9%

I thought the caucuses started at 7 so no idea where they got those numbers from. The numbers from first ballot to final ballot are interesting. Warren and Bernie voters went to Klobuchar and Pete.

Biden has a massive lead in Florida as of January 28, and Bloomberg has more support there than Sanders.
 

The nomination will be over by then.

California matters since it moved up. Sanders has a big lead there now that Biden is fading.

The real caucuses don't start until 7pm central time

Scroll up. That's the Florida satellite results previously mentioned.

[HRSchenker 2,268]

I saw that post but the numbers are different. Wasn't sure if they were the same but you're probably right. My bad.

[washparkhorn 9,939]

The fun part of caucuses.

[6th Street 6,392]

Any word from the black caucus?

[bad_teammate 13,194]

Caucusing is crazy.

 

[henrygandorf 29,189]

it's like real-life twitter!

[cam4mav 771]

this is such a bonkers system 😂 fun to watch 

[Js1 85,310]

Caucuses are just whose supporters are the loudest and most annoying. 

Oh that’s why Bernie kills them 

[Chuckie Finster 22,694]

As someone who is genuinely paying attention to this part of the process for the first time, I have one question: What the fuck?

[henrygandorf 29,189]

i'm fully in favor of a system like this...

 

as long as it's limited to a random state or two.  like iowa.

It's intended to be a community event where people gather collectively. There's a lot to recommend here.

Also, you get shit like this which is hilarious.

"FUCKIN' YANG GANG BITCH! WOOOO! Wait what we have to like live here?"

[cam4mav 771]

holy shit that's hilarious

[bad_teammate 13,194]

Oooh I didn't know the DNC had changed the delegate math in Iowa to bias against the college counties (which, in Iowa, are also the most diverse counties).

What a dogshit organization.

Shame.

 

[Dbeasy 15,047]

Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign is the modern equivalent of a 1988 Motley Crue tour.  Hide your daughters, America.

Your statement is flat out malarkey.

[Pasken 1,309]

Go Pete.

Good for Iowa for accommodating people with disabilities.

I’m confused. Voters all have to run into these rooms during this thirty minute window? What about people that work during this time?

[Continental Op 3,934]

If Pete has a really bad showing tonight he should be thrown into Gitmo for the stupid High Hopes dance bullshit.  I mean it probably wasn't his idea but somebody has to pay.

That's what these early satellite caucuses are. You sign up early if there's a conflict and you want to caucus.

[bad_teammate 13,194]

Bernie has been targeting the Latino vote.

It's literally going "basic" from Starship Troopers lol

[Fudge Nuggets 19,190]

IA is such a stupid little state.

[Larry T. Spider 1,746]

CNN currently interviewing people from different candidates asking them what they will do if their candidate isn’t the eventual nominee. 100% said vote for the democrat no matter what.

The rules are always getting changed against poor mistreated Bernie.  Maybe he should have someone on his staff raise hell about it before the rules are changed instead of just bitching, whining and moaning about it after the fact.

[High Plains Drifter 11,035]

 

Regarding the Iowan olds in Florida, do they also get to vote in Florida? Or can they not participate in the caucus if they are registered in Florida?

[Fozzz 152]

Final guess - Sanders, Warren, Pete, and Biden. Biden gets eaten alive by the media for his poor showing and Pow Wow Chow is crowned as the “real” winner.

I'd assume they're just vacationing and are registered to only vote in Iowa.

Haha. Black cock ass. 

[Zonahorn 8,079]

The exit and entry polls are going to be wrong, bigly.

[6th Street 6,392]

Good thing is that by tomorrow all these news trucks will have bounced and the rest of the country can go back to not giving a shit about Iowa and their weird cock ass system.

Biden beats Sanders 41-15 in the D primary question in that poll, FWIW (not much, any way you look at it).

The numbers they showed from one of the college campuses was sanders - 45, warren - 29, Pete - 9, yang - 7, Biden - 3. 

[WBT 20,561]

I just flipped to CNN for a few minutes and the combination of this system and Wolf Blitzer is an overload of dumb
