Disclaimer: I didn't realize this wasn't CBS when I posted this. Thanks to the Duers who pointed it out; however, I strongly disagree with the practice of coin toss and the strong arm tactics.

Seems something may be amiss. If everything is above board, then why the strong arm tactics?

1. I think you better look over that site again because 1) it's NOT CBS News and 2) there are fake

headlines all over the page.

5. Thanks, I'll check it out.

Didn't realize it wasn't CBS. I still don't understand how an election process can be decided by a coin toss. Why bother to vote? Just flip a coin and decide the next POTUS.

7. Caucuses suck, so you won't hear any argument from me on how ridiculous they are. That being said,

coin flips are a part of the ridiculousness:

10. I had no idea

that Presidential elections could be decided by a coin toss. This definitely needs to change.

17. You don't seriously think the outcome of the Presidential election was decided by a coin toss do you

Do you think the outcome of the caucus decided the election? Bernie doesn't and I doubt Clinton does. With or without the coin flip the outcome of the Iowa caucus didn't decide the election. Hell, it didn't even decide who the Democratic nominee is going to be.

But nice hyperbole.

2. i saw it last night on MSNBC. the whole caucus

process seems undemocratic.

8. I agree.

Sure could save a lot of time, effort, and money with a coin toss, though. Just flip a coin have the two candidates call it, and Bingo! Instant POTUS!

3. Just FYI, that's not CBS

It's some jank site pretending to be CBS

6. Thanks.

As I posted above, I still think there's something not right about a coin toss.

4. Would not surprise me one bit

Cheating runs wild with Clinton's.

9. I'm not accusing the Clinton's,

but there's something hinky about a coin toss involving elections.

11. Of course it was rigged. Flip a coin 6 times and see. Or if you think winning when the odds are

64 to 1 against you is not really that strange then go bet everything you own on GREEN on a roulette wheel. If 64 to 1 is easy to beat then 37 to 1 is a sure thing.

Of course it was rigged.

13. You'll get no argument from me. n/t

Not unless you're Richard Kiel, you didn't...

18. (Sorry 'bout that.)

But I still can't see how a coin toss has any place in electoral politics, unless it's to determine who goes first in a debate or something like that. A 2-out-of-3-falls wrestling match to determine who gets the delegate would make about as much sense.

16. Weighted coins handed out to every pro Clinton precinct, Clinton people all called their choices

First and that's how you win Primaries with 6 coin tosses!

I wish she would have kept that coin!

The filth runs deep.

PEACE
