    I know they are kind of ideologically opposite in a lot of ways, but I would love to see Sanders and Ron Paul team up and form a 3rd party ticket and break up the 2 party system.

    Same here. I'm all for Bernie but I'd vote Paul in a heartbeat over Hillary, spineless democrats and the crazy dictator punks on the right. He's the only one who gives a damn about the constitution and foreign policy when it comes to war. The two parties need a wake up call and kick in the ass and this would be it.

    I prefer his dad, Ron, though. He voted against Monsanto when he was in the senate and he has respect from me for that. His son flip flopped.

    Co-opting and deconstructing the gains civil rights in America has made is "entertaining"? Bernie Sanders is all about "More Free Shit"?

    She bases her vote on protesters? Sounds like a Trump supporter to me.

    I kind of doubt it has as much to do with the city as with the individuals. A similar situation occurred in Seattle. I would think BLM no doubt must have some problems with dissension within among its own people in all city.

    But he lost..... IMO, it doesn't mean anything unless you win.
    However, you are probably congratulating him for showing strongly despite a loss, and I suppose that could mean that he still has a chance, which I suppose is true (I hope so... I am pretty pessimistic though. I am inclined to believe that it's pretty much a rigged game).

    Compared to where he was 6 months ago (down by 50%) and going up against the political machine that is Clinton...to lose by less than 1% is the definition of a good showing. I hope he can build on that momentum and I think he can.

    They split the delegates almost equally. Both candidates can claim that as a victory and let their surrogates paint their opponent as the loser.

    Well, if your definition of winning is who received the most caucus votes, then Hillary won 49.8 to 49.6%. If you're definition of winning is who receives the most delegates to the convention, then it was a tie, because each will receive 22 delegates. However, if the question is, who would you have rather been last night, consider these points:

    -Hillary campaigned all over Iowa once before in 2008, and has had at least the skeleton of a political machine on the ground there ever since.
    -Hillary has Superpacs, tons of money, by their own admission the most established organization in the history of Iowa politics, and the endorsements of every major Iowa politician and newspaper. She was also endorsed by the NY Times over the weekend. She had her popular former President husband and daughter campaigning all over the state for her, and even dragged poor Gabby Gifford up on stage with her.
    -Last year at this time, Bernie had a zero recognition score in Iowa and polled in the single digits.
    He had no money, no organization, no volunteers, no campaign infrastructure. All he had was a message,
    -When campaigning starts in earnest, Bernie draws huge, excited. motivated crowds. Hillary draws smaller less enthusiastic crowds.
    -As his message starts to resonate, Bernie cuts the deficit from 40 points to 25 to 18 to 12 to 8 to 4, and finally, by election day, is in a statistical dead heat.
    -caucus goers show up in droves, many participating for the first time, many of those to vote for Bernie
    -caucus goers who want a candidate they feel "cares about their needs" support Bernie 78%; caucus goers who want a candidate they feel is honest and that they can trust support Bernie 82%
    -Bernie ties the once-anointed "invincible, inevitable nominee" and heads to New Hampshire with a healthy (and growing) lead. He lands in NH at 5 a.m. AND A CROWD OF SUPPORTERS IS WATING FOR HIM. Despite the exhausting hour and lack of sleep, he gets up on the bed of a flatbed truck and graciously speaks.

    Question: Which candidate "won"?

    Bernie is already leading in NH.
    Clinton won last night because of *6* coin tosses done because they were both ties. Iowa caucus standards are to decide those last few delegates by COIN TOSS. She won all 6 which tied them both. If Bernie won any of those tosses, he would have won Iowa.

    Hillary is spinning her Corp and money machine HARD to win and being deceptive is not out of the question.

    The people will prevail, Bernie will win. You watch.

    Iowa's nightmare revisited: Was correct winner called?
    http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/elections/presidential/caucus/2016/02/02/iowas-nightmare-revisited-correct-winner-called-caucus-night/79702010/
    After voters from the final missing Democratic precinct tracked down state party officials Tuesday morning to report their results, Bernie Sanders won by two state delegate equivalents over Hillary Clinton in the final missing precinct, Des Moines precinct No. 42.

    The Iowa Democratic Party determines its winner based on delegate equivalents, tied to a math formula, not head count. The updated final tally of state delegate equivalents for all the precincts statewide:

    Clinton: 700.59

    Sanders: 696.82.

    That's a 3.77-count margin between Clinton, the powerful establishment favorite who early on in the Democratic race was expected to win in a virtual coronation, and Sanders, a democratic socialist who few in Iowa knew much about a year ago.
