I feel like telling Iowa caucus goers that you don't care about Iowa will do that for you. Is it even an option to caucus for him in Iowa though? I’m still not entirely clear on how the process works since there isn’t a “ballot,” but I assumed skipping it meant he wasn’t an option at all. I don't think you have to file as a candidate for the caucuses but do for the general election. I'm not 100% on that tho.

One of the colleges, only Warren and Bernie viable. The biden/klobes have coalesced into undecided and are trying to get the Petes to join them. If they do, apparently they will send one pete, one klobes, one biden to represent. IDK how any of that works but it seems exciting. update: uncommitted may have enough to be viable to send their reps. This is Grinnell. undecideds are viable and will get delegates and have their voices heard. The drama!

Can anyone go caucus? Or do you have to like sign up? You had to be a registered democrat to participate in my state.

Round one here, Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Sanders are the only viable candidates Were you in a viable group or are you being wooed right now? I was with Liz and we weren’t viable. We had 35 and needed 42. We made jr the second round, though!

Against his word salad her wavery voice is like NBD. For me definitely. Unfortunately I think a lot of people out there judge women much harder. What would never make a dent against a man would absolutely sink a woman. Ya think Hillary would have bounced back in the polls from a HEART ATTACK? Absofuckinglutely not.

Biden had 38 at our precinct, but couldn’t muster the extra to reach viability. They went en masse to Pete. Yang also went to Pete. Liz picked up some Steyer and the lone Gabbard and Harris caucusers.

Hi! Lurker from Iowa here.
My precinct is rural. First round viable was Pete/Amy/Biden/Bernie. Warren supporters went to Bernie and Pete. Yang supporters (3 of them) refused to realign.
Our small precinct sends 6 delegates so Pete/Amy get 2 each and Bernie/Biden get 1.
