Iowa: Who the Fuck Cares? (RP)

[Blue_Adept]

Pretty much sums it up and why I end up just laughing at the amount of handwringing here from both sides.

What did we learn? Well, other than that rabid religious twat mites will vote for whatever crazed fucker jacks off to Jesus hardest, we learned that delegates can be awarded by the toss of a goddamn coin. It would have been more fair to put up photos of Sanders and Clinton and let a monkey toss shit at one and declare the other the winner.

Otherwise, the Rude Pundit isn't going to justify this overwrought spectacle by searching for any meaning in the results. Yeah, it was fun to see Donald Trump act like he had just been punched repeatedly in the balls. Yeah, it's great that young people turned out to caucus for Bernie Sanders. Yeah, Chris Christie oughta feel like shit. But, really, all this pretense to believing that Iowa tells us anything other than which asshole is gonna feel awfully fuckin' smug for a week or so is a gigantic waste of time and effort.

1. The coin toss conspiracy from the Rude Pundit.

Apparently Bernie cares because he's refusing to concede.

3. His base will love it. But it probably won't impress the "undecideds" or former O'Malley supporters.

Oh well. He's still not going to win the nomination. When it comes down to the actual count of delegates, whatever posturing he does now will matter not a whit.

Go, Hillary!

2. Well I care

not that much though. I thought Bernie would win by maybe as much as two whole percentage points. He lost by .2%. I really can't cry over that. Plus, he seems to do better as an underdog. Not that we don't need more momentum. But, at this point in the game it is not terrible to be behind by just a sliver of a tad.

6. Exactly

Often being behind at that stage can serve as really exciting and motivating the base and getting undecideds to take a look at what's being offered. Underdogs, especially in close situations, tend to be viewed more favorably.

4. Iowa

Iowa proved nothing, save that this go round will not be a repeat of 2008, at least for dems. Hillary's glee was not from narrowly winning, but rather from knowing that she placed well in a liberal, lilly-white state, despite massive turnout.
