[LuvLoogie]

6. Yeah. They called it dirty tricks in Polk county.

[misterhighwasted]

8. Apparently both sides agreed to the official results

Done & satisfied.

[pandr32]

25. Maybe now Sanders will congratulate her for her win?

Probably not.

[misterhighwasted]

26. ha..waiting..waiting

Says all we need to know.

[pandr32]

30. Yep!

Ungracious man and a lousy sport!

[SCantiGOP]

10. Dirty tricks =

Anecdotes and Tweets, which turn into this hour's conspiracy against Sanders. They're not happy if they're not outraged.

[dlwickham]

32. I'm thinking that's another one of their "cool stories"

It's hard for me to believe anything that they post since they thrive on lying about how evil Hillary is and how good St. Bernard is

[SharonClark]

33. The results sound about right

The county convention results should reflect the precinct caucus results unless your supporters don't show up. That didn't happen.

[Cha]

12. ..

[riversedge]

16. ah, shucky darns.

[Metric System]

27. They were hoping that the will of the people on voting day would be over-turned.

[Skid Rogue]

5. Great news!!!!

(I am getting a bit tired of everything being made into a huge drama, though.)

[misterhighwasted]

7. but without drama the media wouldn't know who they are.

Drama schock is why the campaign exists at all.
Its the lifeblood surging through the veins.

More drama please!!

[Skid Rogue]

11. LOL!!!

I guess it's just the everyday life of a revolutionary, everything is an epic battle.

[BlueMTexpat]

9. How the heck many times does Iowa

get to vote? It's like Groundhog Day out there.

[SharonClark]

34. In Iowa

Voters at the precinct caucuses elect delegates to the county convention who elect delegates to the district convention, etc. You can lose a few people from your side at the county convention but the percentage doesn't usually change much. I suspect the Bernie campaign thought there would be droves of delegates abandoning Hillary for Bernie once the Hillary delegates understood his awesomeness. Didn't happen.

[BlueMTexpat]

38. Thanks for explaining, Sharon.

I was being snarky, but meant no disrespect to IA. I was snarky because of all the nasty threads about this.

[MADem]

36. LOL!!! And they don't even VOTE!! They stand around in gymnasiums and fight with one another!

And then someone counts noses!!!

The caucus system is the most disenfranchising system in America. If you work the night shift, can't get a babysitter, can't AFFORD a babysitter, don't have a ride, don't have an evening to spend standing in a corner hectoring people, you're EXCLUDED. The people who need a voice the most are often excluded from the process with a caucus system. It needs to just GO.

[BlueMTexpat]

37. I totally agree.

[Cha]

13. Haha.. Hillary Won Iowa.. History Made!

Thank you, mister!

[William769]

14. Looks like several Sanders people walked out when it was time to be credentialed.

I guess they weren't counting on that happening.

[misterhighwasted]

15. Yup, William. Meanwhile Hillary's superb ground game reiterated:

"Att Hillary peeps, Your vote won't count if ya don't show up".
They listened. She won. And onward we go.

[livetohike]

17. No follow through. Just like their candidate.

😊

[72DejaVu]

19. At my caucus in Maine

The Bernistas won the town, but not enough of them were willing to be delegates to the state convention to fill all their slots.

[livetohike]

20. I think many of them must not understand the process and

the commitment required. Oh well, too bad 😊.

[72DejaVu]

18. It's a revoluuuuuution!

Oh, wait, it's lunchtime.

[livetohike]

21. LOL

😄

[Cha]

23. Lol

[Loki]

24. I had to put my video game on pause for this?

[leftofcool]

28. Or, wait a minute, I am getting a text message.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

22. It was 4:20

[Buzz Clik]

29. The Sanders campaign has taken this in some strange and troubling directions.

"Win at any cost" comes to mind...

[Blue Idaho]

31. The politically naive

Are absolutely exhausting... So much drama, so many memes...

[MADem]

35. That was a lot of hot-breathed "accusation" wasn't it?

Clinton Maintains Iowa Delegate Win In County Conventions
Hillary Clinton’s campaign fought off a tough effort by Bernie Sanders’ operation in county conventions throughout the state to determine the next round of delegates that eventually end up at the national convention. At the end of the day, Clinton stood at 704 state delegates and Sanders had 700. That’s a slight improvement for both from caucus night’s final results, when Clinton had 700.47 and Sanders received 696.92.

The big prize both campaigns sought was the 5th statewide delegate. In addition to assigning national delegates by congressional district, Iowa also has 9 statewide delegates. Because of Clinton’s narrow win on caucus night, those split in her favor 5-4. The closeness led to fierce competition around the state on Saturday as Sanders tried to pick up just a handful more state delegates here and there to move ahead.

Sanders was unsuccessful in that effort, and the projected national delegate count remained the same both on the statewide level and by congressional district. Clinton still has a 23-21 advantage from Iowa.

All that effort, all that whining....and for what? Clinton gained more than he did.

Well, all things in time....



Can't happen soon enough.
