Decision 2016

[NGL]

1: Ann Selzer, who polls jointly with Bloomberg and the Des Moines Register for Iowa and has the most highly-regarded poll for that state, will release her firm's last poll of both Democrats and Republicans for the caucus this weekend.

2: Even though it is not substantive, I just love this Sanders ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nwRiuh1Cug

Congratulations, America.

My prediction for Iowa: Cruz ekes it out over Trump, Hillary beats Bernie by 8 or 9 points.

I'm thinking narrow victories for both Cruz and Sanders in Iowa. Then, Trump and Sanders in New Hampshire. And then Trump and Clinton in South Carolina.

Congratulations, America.

And, sadly, that is from 2013 and is only getting traction now because of his candidacy. Sometimes I watch clips of the GOP debate and wonder what I could possibly have done to inspire so many people to hate my body.

The New York Times has endorsed Clinton and Kasich for their party nominations.

So, I am not super familiar with caucuses and how they work, but..... why are the Democrats vote totals in Iowa so low? With 90% of precincts reporting, neither Clinton nor Sanders are even at 650 votes? While the projected Republican winner, Cruz, has over 40,000?

Those aren't votes.

From the NY Times: "*Democratic vote totals are an estimate of the number of state delegates that a candidate would receive."

Ah. Thanks. Now I feel even more ridiculous. I was trying to read up on if those were votes, but kept running into articles projecting Cruz on the news sites.

Thanks!

Honestly, Iowa Republicans are super religious Christians. I mean, they went for Rick Santorum in 2012 and Mike Huckabee in 2008. Trump, as fucking crazy as he is, is the lesser of evils here.

It's sooooo close between Bernie and Hillary, OMG. They can't even call it yet.
