Trump lives rent free in all of these democratic candidates minds. Democratic caucus in Iowa. Big chance to get their own policies across and connect with voters/delegates. Instead they talk about Trump nonstop. Warren is speaking right now and all she has talked about is Trump LMAO.

Good post. Lots of people jumping at any opportunity to cry foul. A little perspective could go a long way, hell this isn't even all that unusual for Iowa. In 2012 the GOP said Mitt won, and then a week later decided Rick Santorum did, only it turned out Ron Paul actually ended up with the most delegates.
Anyway, if last night leads to Iowa losing its place as the jumping off point for the presidential elections, that's cool by me.
Yeah, 2012 was a lot more ridiculous than this.
I could go for some sort of rotating system for which states go first.
Maybe this from Fivethirtyeight explains it:

Even though this might end up hurting my preferred candidate, I'm actually really OK with no one getting an artifical bounce from a state that's a poor representation of the country as a whole. Definitely sucks for the volunteers and campaigns who busted their asses for the last year though I guess.
That was one of many I'm referencing. The media by and large decided to cover the event with an angry attitude, they are the ones directing that feeling, most Americans do not care that they are getting results later this afternoon (hopefully at least) vs yesterday evening.

Lolol as I said yesterday the sheep are flocking and making excuses for rigging. Crazy that y'all can't see what's right in front of your bloody faces. Scary actually...

This does look a lot like last election where Bernie was screwed out of the nomination. This is concerning and should be concerning going forward. Whether you believe Trump cheated or not there is cheating going on and we need to figure out a way to make the whole process legit. It's quickly losing it's legitimacy.
