What a dick - calling it for himself with barely 62% counted. Good grief he sure knows how to piss the dems off!
To you guys getting jazzed or jizzed up over BootyBoy, help me to game this out a couple levels. Not a loaded question. Just show me where you are going with this. Okay, let's establish the backstory. Booty is a Whitey Tighty who worked Iowa hard at the expense of other states and has been focused almost solely on his fellow midwestern state, Iowa, while jostling to New Hampshire, another whitey tighty state. He will take first or second in Iowa, and be one of the four who will be split by a point and half in N.H. or some scenario like that. Bernie is leading strong there, and lives next door and won N.H. in 2016. But for the sake of argument, I will say, BootyBoy takes 2nd just to play along. Okay, then what? Help me with that. What other state has he been working and staffed and is polling strong? What's the plan after that, which of course means that he would have to have already made progress on it already? SuperTuesday comes right up a month after N.H so you can't start from scratch right after N.H. Especially since everyone is going to run head on into Bloombergs advertising dump. Not that Bloomber will win but he will take some of the scarce points from someone. Tell me what Booty's next move is after N.H. I want to examine that a bit.
Oops, there goes the black vote. If someone thinks black Americans vote for homosexuals they may want to revisit that idea. Besides, black Americans like having jobs and opportunity in equal measure to the rest of the country. They want their kids to have a decent chance to prosper after them as well.
Aside from the blacks and gays issue, Booty has actual experience in working with the black community and the grievances of black officers, and the grievances of black parents shot by officers and excessively defended by Pete. And that experience is ugly and the South Benders speak out about it bigtime when he gets attention but tone it down when his numbers are down. Kamala went through that too. She has an ugly record and when her numbers went up the issues got lots of attention. Klobochar's numbers are up a bit so Black Lives Matters follows her and protests about some ugly prosecutions she did. Anyway, my point is that it is more than just pete being white and gay. He be having baggage too. And so does joe with his superpredator lock ups. And he handled some of it poorly and it cost him. No knock out blow but younger blacks are not as in love with him as the civil rights era blacks and are willing to look at all that. Refer to Joe's dropping numbers with blacks in South Carolina for more on that.
Big props for Buttigeig if he wins Iowa...all the spotlight on Biden and Warren and Sanders and Iowa just said fuck you. Good for him. Going to have a drink and toast Iowa for not only embarrassing themselves as mentally challenged fucktards who cannot handle a simple vote, but also for collectively sticking their finger up at the DNC..
Iowa is meaningless for many reasons so I don't put too much weight in it, i will look at results after we had the next 5-6 states and Super Tuesday. Only significance is Booty as of now winning when he was not predicted to be in top 3 so I am now a fan .
