2020 Swill Bin Democratic Caucus

Someone did put the perspective of being a billionaire in focus. They said if Bloomberg spent a billion dollars on his campaign, he'd still have 49 of them left. LOL.

In todays edition of Stepping on your Dick 101,,,,

Head of the DNC calls for a re canvassing of Iowa results.

They should absolutely be recanvassed. And let this be the death of Iowa as the first state in the primary. Rotate it. And also, no more caucuses.

Amen. I just heard the DNC punished MI and FLA (diverse states) for trying to move their primaries up.

Videos from these two started popping up in my YouTube recommendations a week or two ago, not sure exactly why. From what I can tell, they are very strongly pro-Bernie. Not sure I am on board with the conspiracy angle here, but it might be worth mentioning. At the very least, I think it speaks to distrust of the Democrat establishment, which is only getting worse in the wake of the caucus shitstorm.

Bernie's supporters need to chill out.

Whether he (or Pete) won in Iowa isn't that big of a deal.

haven't been keeping up - will someone please tell me who/what I am supposed to be outraged about?

thanks.

Mostly Troy Price and Tom Perez over their bungling of the Iowa caucus and the fact that it happened Monday and we're still not sure on Friday whether the results that have been released are complete and accurate.

I find it more amusing than outrageous, but the country/twitter doesn't have much of a sense of humor these days, as we all know.

Bernie is now outraged about Pete's millionaire donors.

Bernie is upset. I don't think Pete is.

Pete seems like a good dude.

I don't usually watch these town halls. I watched them after the Iowa caucus. I'd vote for any of them obviously over the douche in office. But when I watch Buttigieg it seems genuine. Maybe it isn't and he's just a good salesman. After the last four years I want a calm rational person. A thinker. And he seems that way. All the other candidates come across as frantic and reactionary. Almost controlled hysteria or begging. I would put PB's chances of beating Trump at 20% but stranger things have happened. In the end I think Trump will win regardless. Might as well run a return to sanity candidate. Lots of votes to be cast though. I'll be interested in seeing how bad he gets beat in SC and if he shows any sort of movement upward with the black demographic.

How can anyone buy Buttigieg’s phony ass shtick.

I don’t get it.

it's hard to fake being gay, bro.

Bernie's lap dogs have a very strong theme today.

Bash Pete.

I guess that means they perceive him as a threat.

Do tell. Do you think he runs around the house like Nathan Lane in The Birdcage?

So my wifey said that if Pete gets the nod that he wont win because a gay is where undecided moderates draw the line. (she was raised right wing "christian", a lifelong ailment many are afflicted with)....

I laughed at her. Then I explained if "gay" was the reason people wont vote for someone, they wouldn't vote for a dem anyway.

Not planning on getting laid this weekend because I was condescending.

How can you not vote for a guy whose name could be pronounced Booty Judge?

How you guys read that as a gay bash I don’t know. I mean his lame Obama impersonation and his total flip flop from progressive to centrist.

Politico: Bernie turns his fire on Buttigieg

“Bernie has said he will win New Hampshire. He has made that statement more than once. Therefore it's important that he wins,” said Kurt Ehrenberg, Sanders’ former longtime political strategist in the state. “I think he’s in danger of not winning right now, which is why he’s attacking Mayor Pete.”

So you think there was no oxygen left in the progressive room so he decided to win the nomination directly going after the guy leading in the polls and the one who was widely seen as the one guarantee who could beat trump. And as a gay man was going to clean up on the black vote? Uh....ok.

Don’t see it Roc. And if he pulls it off maybe we need to recognize game!

What is the impersonation?

What progressive ideas has he abandoned?

I don't see Bernie as a guarantee to beat Trump at all. Why do you think Trump wants to run against him?

Pretty much exactly what he did.

If you’re taking about electability, I don’t know why you would think there’s a better candidate than warren. This is a fucking stupid country.

I’d vote for Harbaugh if he was the nominee

You're free to move to a smart country, if that's what you desire.

Rather drag this one kicking and screaming to enlightenment, jake.

Too bad the trajectory is not in our favor.

In other news, Iowa Democratic Party isn't going to fix what they effed up, says it would be against the law to do so.

We agree on one thing: the Democratic Party in its current form is not the answer.
