I see many of my contemporaries celebrating and even jovially discussing the disastrous result from Iowa. The lifespan of campaigns is being determined by only 62% of the total data. Buttigieg wins the delegates but Sanders takes the overall popular vote. (Maybe after winning the delegates but not the popular vote in Iowa, Buttigieg will warm up to the Founders’ idea of the electoral college.) The whole thing is … weird. Especially so with looming questions regarding Buttigieg and the company that created the “coding error” app. I wrote about this earlier on Twitter:
Dang, Biden in 4th place. This plus slippage in SC polls, getting the feeling he never actually wanted to run in the first place, as though he knew it would be an uphill battle against the socialist candidates that are polling better (since Trump took the moderates).

People forget, Trump didn’t win 2016 because he christened a bunch of brand new Republicans, he took their rust belt, their blue collar, their union voters and left Democrats with the Bernie bros to shape their party.

The big tent that was always discussed was actually created. Those who were hesitant were convinced by measurably low unemployment, higher wages, tax cuts. Meanwhile Dems grew extremely narrow in scope to where even pro-life Dems have been bounced.

And Dems still blame everyone and everything but their own errors so they will never understand how to regain those voters lost in 2016. Instead they just call them all “racists” and scream “RUSSIA!”

Look, I don’t want to see a group of socialists masquerading as Democrats, either. I think it’s better for our political system to have healthy parties with platforms that haven’t failed everywhere they’ve ever been tried.

It’s fun to watch the Dem in-fighting and power struggle … until it isn’t the party anymore, it’s the country and you wind up with a legitimate socialist running for the White House. You won’t ever get a moderate Democrat as a nom again if they go socialist. It won’t happen.

And for those who say “who cares, let them eat their own,” that’s great until a socialist wins the nomination and then, after 2020, runs and wins the White House and they eat you.

Lastly, the socialist surge is possible because party leaders used the fringe as a GOTV apparatus for so long, feeding them influence until they co-opted the party. Frankenstein’s monster.

It’s true that Biden has never performed well in Iowa — and it’s also true that winning Iowa doesn’t necessarily indicate that the caucus winner will go on to win the general. What it does indicate is that Biden is finished, his best chance was 2016, he has no ability to stop the onslaught of socialists that have been allowed to co-opt the party. His momentum is falling apart, SC was to be his firewall and now even that is eroding. He’s like the Jeb of this cycle.
NEW: Joe Biden's campaign tried to reassure donors on a conference call today that he will win Nevada and South Carolina after chaos ensued in Iowa. This comes as Biden is in need of campaign cash going into key states he believes he can win.https://t.co/9gECeCG7gJ

Meanwhile, the male version of Rachel Dolezal and Elizabeth Warren is stumping for Bernie:
In Keene, N.H., @shaunking is rallying for Bernie Sanders: "We know that Bernie is going to fight for the Green New Deal, and is going to mobilize the government to stop climate change. Because he has literally been sounding this alarm for 40 years. He has been talking about it." pic.twitter.com/H3Hbp0gaes
