Bernie should quit whining about Iowa and move on already. Really Bernie, you can’t win coming in second in Iowa? 

Timestamp on when he "whined" about Iowa the most recent?

The ONLY way to beat trump is to pound out the fact that he will rip your healthcare out of your sickly hands if you get sick and rip away your SS and Medicare. Say it so many times it's the only thing they'll know in the swing states.

This squabbling  over whether M4A or M4a as an option is only hurting dems chances to beat trump. 

Trumps budget will go far in that regard.  lots of cuts to boost other priorities, like nasa and va.

But whatevz. He gets questions about it. He and Petes agrees the popular vote is what counts, so Bernie won - jippie. Pete weasel-pushing the narrative of his win was "smart" but backbone-less. Bernie countered it by him saying how he won for real. just like Biden countered when Pete attacked.

FINALLY the Dems are addressing issues that matter to me. The real question is M4A vs. FLAC. How can an M4A file be completely lossless if the file sizes are similar to that of MP3s? 

Those files aren't lossless? Just the same container/format. Different encoding? Or am I wrong?

Yeah I think it's different encoding. Not positive though. I just saw "m4a" and was joking around.

Weasel pushing?  I'd argue the opposite.  Bernie declaring "decisive" victory was much closer to weasely... considering as of this moment, Pete is the winner and has the most SDE's.  Iowa is a caucus and that's how delegates work.  You don't get to declare victory because you won the popular, when that's not how the process is set up.  Just ask Hillary.  

I'm not a Warren fan, but I've gotta give her credit here. A good line is a good line....

Weird way to word the question but a great answer!

Very off the cuff. Much spontaneity.

If you were an honest man, you would say they both were the winners getting the same delegates. That is what it was all about?

And I don't need to ask "Hillary" - I CAN JUST ASK PETE:

"At risk of of sounding a little simplistic, one thing I believe is that in an american presidential election, the person who gets the most votes ought to be the person who wins"

The "Pete standard" as Jake Tapper calls it. And even Pete can't spin it:

(and now you maybe will say  - but that is the presidential election, he didn't say ioooowaaaaaa - he's free on a technicality.

And we all know who famously was let free on a technicality)

Is this a whine about the electoral college vs. popular vote? If so, I'd hope that a senator was well aware about the rules before starting to play the game and complaining about them. Curiously, and maybe you know better, but after a quick search I can only find record of Sanders calling for abolishing the electoral college as early as July 2019. 

On the Pete thing, I agree with you fully. He took the risk of going on the record about the importance of the popular vote, then deflected when he lost that. It makes him seem more like a typical Washington-type who will say what needs to be said, and I hope that was the last time he goofs like that. He's best when he doubles down on his integrity, instead of this crap.
