    i think it shows you cant take a decade off from this - debating especially - then just waltz in after 5 of your competitors have been at it daily for months. im sure its bewildering. also shows as hyped as hes been, his campaign is still a tinderbox

    It makes me nervous that Pete got such a big bump. That dude has serious psychopath energy, I saw in a profile of him that he apparently has a framed resource/mineral map of Afghanistan in his house lol.

    Iowa was bad for Biden in terms of placement but the demographics there never really favored him or his base. He’s unlucky because NH isn’t a much more promising state for him either but if he can get better placement there then I think he’ll be ok. Another 4th or (nightmare scenario) 5th place finish & yeah....it’d look like the wheels are falling off.

    Sanders is def the front runner post Iowa.

    mannnn obviously it's too early to say this but I wouldn't be surprised if Biden is done. That is a massive massive underperformance in Iowa. I mean I know it wasn't necessarily going to be one of his strongest states but a fourth place finish is just unspeakably bad for a "frontrunner". Obviously we can't fully discount him until we see what happens in the next three contests, but his people have to be spooked.

    With Bloomberg somehow doing kinda well(?????), and problems with minorities complicating Mayor Pete's rise, and Klobuchar outperforming expectations, and Warren doing well enough to justify staying in, and the fringe folks (namely Yang and Gabbard) probably not leaving anytime soon, it's hard to imagine a more chaotic landscape! Still, you'd rather be Bernie than anyone else

    Biden can barely put together a complete sentence and when he does he's calling people fatso, challenging them to push up contests or telling them to f--- off and vote for someone else. I'm not surprised about his low numbers.

    I am surprised Booty Judge is doing so well but I'm even more surprised the DNC is blatantly trying to f--- Bernie for somebody who is polling at 0% with minorites. They are gift wrapping Trump another 4 years.

    anyone pretending to know what happens next week is kidding themselves - John Delaney just dropped out. Anything can happen.

    I know full well getting Bernie in office isn't going to instantly change everything. I know that it's much more complicated than just the wants of one person even if they're in the highest held office. Change takes time. But I would rather see someone try and succeed on a few things or set the wheels in motion for them than someone to just be like 'whatever it will always be the same.'

    I respect someone much more for giving that no vote on something they believe in even if they know it's hopeless because they're in the minority than someone who gives a yes just so they can say they were part of bipartisan decision. Warren's fake. She's the same a------ as all the other assholes posing as a progressive. And yeah I'd much rather have her as prez than Joe or Mayor Pete (or trump obviously lol) but she's not really bout it like that. She'd be fine prob just Obama 2.0 but she's not convinced me she's truly gonna try to enact change like that.

    Castro did well last night... so did Blasio ... I thought the best was Warren by a slight edge...

    BUT as a Latino... hearing Booker and Beto speaking in Spanish... was just a---! Clear pandering... don't do that s--- again!

    It’s a battle to see how far left they can all get and then when the field narrows down they all claw their way back to the middle. Nothing anyone is saying is going to happen.

    Also Booker looks like a fool
