Man, I'm still reeling from how bat-***crazy Iowa is. Cruz? really?
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but wow...

It's weird to me that Iowa, of all places, casts the first vote, as if they were representative of the whole country.

well I can think of at least three presidents who lost their respective Iowa caucus, so it doesn't mean all that much in the end, really.

Speaking of Cruz:
YouTube Video Placeholder Sylph.Jeanpaul said: » Yeah, I see it as more of a weeding out of the hopeless candidates. *looks over at Bush* caucus is stupid anyway, you don't just go in and cast a vote. New Hampshire iirc is a actual voting state, just go in vote and leave.
Ragnarok.Nausi said: » I dunno what's more delicious this afternoon. The sanders supporters that are getting bent over by Clintonian tactics, or the Rubio fans who somehow think coming in third is the story of the day. Sanders supporters were bent because he should have performed better. Iowa and Hampshire are states that are practically handed to Sanders. Iowa is the 3rd most white liberal state in the country. The fact that people like to vote along racial lines makes me hope the zika virus kills us all.

I like to just assume most people who vote would struggle to pour water out of their boot with instructions on the heel.

All the candidates are white, except Cruz and Rubio. Samders main message is the top 1% etc and doesn't really touch upon topics like immigration as much as Hillary imo which effects his polling among minority voters.

Cruz tucks his shirt into his jeans. That disqualifies him. Could he be more anti-gay?

Cruz a non-white won with 30% of the vote. (another record) Some percentage of people showed up for the Democrat caucus, I'd tell you the number but that would be PC or something I guess. Anyways, every single one of them cast a vote for a white person.. And Hilary narrowly wins because she is good at tossing coins..

Disregarding instances of hypersensitivity, I only ever see it used to describe something that the speaker is just plain too lazy and/or stupid to understand why it has to be clarified, or otherwise afraid of being labeled a racist/sexist/etc despite nobody bringing that up. Not accusing you of doing this, but it does make it harder to take some post(er)s seriously when brought up. Anyway, the coin toss thing seemed to have been exaggerated and didn't give Hillary her tiny lead: http://www.npr.org/2016/02/02/465268206/coin-toss-fact-check-no-coin-flips-did-not-win-iowa-for-hillary-clinton

As much as I don't like Cruz (although, admittedly, I did vote him into Senate), he is still a Texan....born in Canada, but we let him in anyway, nobody's perfect, and therefor superior to all of you schmoes combined.

Not accusing you of doing this, but it does make it harder to take some post(er)s seriously when brought up. Lets see.. Why would it be PC.? It was a jab at the way Democrats disregard the fact that people exist and have power over them, so instead of counting them as a vote they use percentages. All I seen was percentages coming from the Democrat Caucasus. If I didn't care about looking up the actual number of voters that had shown up I'd have no idea. I'm fairly certain low information voters didn't even realize this which is what the democrats want. In 2008 when obama was running they was all about reporting on the numbers when 239k people came and voted. This year it has taken 3 days to tell us only 171k had shown up for them. Which by now anyone that would be swayed by that fact (if people can actually be swayed) isn't paying attention.

Altimaomega said: » I've always thought that if you didn't know why something was considered PC you are too lazy to understand why it would be. you left out the critical "'nt" or "not" from your sentence that would have made it make some sense "I'd tell you the number but that would be PC or something I guess." |
