As somebody who wants to beat Sanders with a moderate candidate, the fact that Klobuchar is doing is well and denying Pete the ability to unify the center-left is annoying me. Pete's in a way better position to win the nomination than Klobuchar is; this will only help Sanders beat a divided field.

funny how buttigieg probably would win NH without klobuchar. this primary feels similar to the GOP's in 2016

[J. J.]

He's gay so he can't really win over the AA voter block. This would allow Trump a freepass in Southern states like Georgia and North Carolina.

How many black people do you personally know

I know a fair number and Mayor Pete's sexuality would certainly depress the AA vote.  These are the kind of people that started going to Chick-fil-a.

Me if I was a NH dem voter so regretting voting for Biden instead of Buttigieg rn, which is what I would have done.

Citation desperately needed.

His campaign is going to go downhill from here. Nevada and South Carolina will be much harsher turf than Iowa and New Hampshire (two states whose Democratic electorate are far more favorable to him and the best he could achieve was a tie).

There was not a tie. Pete lost both states

I meant in terms of the margin of victory. I'm well aware of Iowa's convoluted results.

South Carolina will also be much harsher turf for Sanders. It’s safe to say that the race is wide open.

If Joe was doing as well as Pete was right now (1st* in IA, 2nd in NH), then he'd still be the solid front runner. Unfortunately for Pete, his path looks bleak from here. He would need to move his numbers significantly with black and latino voters in order to stand a chance. As for now, it looks like Sanders will narrowly win the nomination due to a divided opposition (Pete w/college and northern whites, Joe w/nonwhites and southern whites).

In two states demographically favourable to him and where he has by far invested the most resources, Buttigieg failed to win. There is no path forward for him

I'm not anti Pete or Pro Bernie , but the fact is Bernie won Iowa by several thousand votes, regardless of how the bizarre ass caucus rules ultimately distributed their delegate count.

You mean the bizarre a** rules that have been used in every prior Iowa Caucus and that no one complained about until after it became clear Bernie had lost?

Hard for anyone to complain about a PV/SDE split prior to this election given nobody had data for the first / final preference in previous contests...

Said bizarre ass rules have always been rather sketchy in terms of the separation between popular vote and delegates awarded.

My point Remains the Same, been on the most important measurement of popular support in Iowa, you know, actual votes, Sanders handily won.

I'm anything but a Bernie bro, but that's the only honest way to assess Iowa's results.

People literally complained about it every election cycle. There was just never enough momentum to get it changed. I'm not even totally anti-caucus in the Iowa form, I think Iowa should get to determine how they want to do it, but to pretend that there weren't prior objections is revisionist history.

Brokered convention Bloomberg/Pete ticket?

Pete needs to place top two in Nevada. If he's behind Biden (or Steyer) then he's practically done for.
