Iowa Caucus Results Thread (pg 148 - full results)

[Lourdes]

Even if Pete winds up winning, Bernie coming within 2% of first place is still a relatively positive outcome for him.

Indeed. Sanders has no path now. Biden is basically inevitable.

Can you please actually explain your posts if you are going to make extremely controversial takes. I know you are better than SN.

Sanders needed to win Iowa. Without it, I don't think he has a path.

So Joe Biden who is currently barely at viability is going to skate to the nomination?

I guess when the candidate people don't like wins the popular vote but loses it's good thing.

Maybe the Sanders camp should have done a better job at getting other supports to support their campaign in the second realignment?

He's currently leading the second realignment, though. It's purely the delegate allocation that's giving Buttigieg a lead.

Anyway, typical Atlas. Sanders was the inevitable nominee and Biden was finished, now Sanders is finished and Biden is the inevitable nominee. Some of you really need to keep cooler heads.

Biden certainly didn't have a great day, but he's above 15%. That's not terrible for him.

We don't even have the other 38% left, and regardless so far he's won the most votes in both first preference and reallocated.

This
is
not
over

Would anyone ever call a close race with 32% of precincts left? No
Now lets calm down

Sanders won the second alignment PV too...

He would have won the SDEs if he would have done just a bit better.

All he has to do is hang around until the south votes.

I must disagree. Without winning Iowa, he has lost. It’s over for his campaign because of this. He lost to Hillary by an even smaller margin and was still easily taken out. In a best case scenario, this goes contested and he loses.

[OSR stands with Israel]

We won !

Cheers to Grassroots (and a few others) for believing.

Suck it, haters.

Congrats on winning with as much legitimacy as Trump, seeing as Buttigieg came in second in the actual votes.

Hillary won the popular vote against Obama, so was Obama's 2008 win illegitimate

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

I guess we wait for the other 38%.

[bilaps]

Polk, Story and Scott are biggest remaining votes left. It could go to Sanders if he wins Polk

[Inmate Trump]

Because the results were so delayed...and they won’t be big news seeing as they’re now overshadowed by the SOTU...my prediction is that the winner will see almost no bounce at all going forward.

This is an outright shame.

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

Honestly, I think this was worse than just waiting a bit longer and releasing all the results.

[Florida Man for Crime]

Which counties still have precincts left to report??? All of them say 100% in, which makes no sense if only 62% are reported statewide.

- wait, apparently there are more votes left to report in places like Black Hawk County (college town), so that could boost Bernie potentially

It's a 5 person race this go around. Different dynamics at play.

The difference, of course, being that Hillary actually won Iowa. The presumed front runner in the race is currently at a distant fourth in Iowa

Buttigieg and Sanders are very close in Polk right now, so it's unlikely to make much difference.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

1. There are 38% of precincts still outstanding.
2. Sanders is leading in the popular vote.
3. Biden is in fourth place and fell very short of what polls were giving him.

Can we stop declaring a nominee before the first state's even been fully counted yet?  Some of you should know better.

You guys who speak like this are way overreacting. lol Sanders is going to get about as many delegates as Buttigieg. He's no further behind Buttigieg than a week ago. You could literally say Sanders is leading all candidates.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

Honestly, I think this was worse than just waiting a bit longer and releasing all the results.

It's certainly made the overreaction that much more annoying

[Grassroots]

Atlas is acting like 62% is 100%. Please, for the love of god, shut up. This has not ended.

[W]

Certainly big for Buttigieg- especially in the rural counties statewide. Incredibly neck and neck but no matter the winner Buttigieg certainly will be in the news in the leadup to New Hampshire.

[Adam Griffin]

Outstanding precincts in counties won (SDEs) by...

Sanders - 259
Buttigieg - 247
Klobuchar - 24
Biden - 18
Warren - 0

I don't disagree regarding how the primary played out though part of that is a result of caucuses (which really shouldn't exist in the first place)
