If you ask me, the only candidate who could maybe make an argument that their national delegate count might change in a recount would be Warren. She lost votes to Steyer in the fuckups, for example. Thing is, I doubt she'd be willing to pay for it, and it'd be a real long shot. Maybe Biden but again, if he's already running low on cash I doubt it's worth it just to net him like 1 delegate.

No way Pete or Klob could make that argument.

no one but Pete would want a recount because no one but Pete will give a poo poo about Iowa in a week

Tom Perez sees the Iowa Democrats' response to his call for a recanvass. Nervously, he looks over his shoulder, where Chasten Buttigieg, wearing an all-black suit and latex gloves, is attaching a suppressor to a CIA standard-issue pistol. "I tried, Mr. Buttigieg," he says. "Please, tell the CIA I tried."

Chasten pauses for a moment, looking at his weapon. He looks up, meeting Perez's gaze, and says, "Tom Perez... retire bitch."

If it's anything like our lot, they would rather lose than have someone win who would permanently put their lovely brand of politics in the bin.

The ratfucking is about stopping Sanders, Buttigieg geting a boost is secondary.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


"Actually, these majority-minority voters should not be counted" is gonna do wonders for Stinky Pete's appeal to non-whites.

actually he talked to the Pete campaign and then used his position of authority to make their request for a recount on their behalf, thus obfuscating who exactly was calling the vote into question (because Buttgieg’s campaign doesn’t want to appear to be “disrespecting the results”) and making it seem more official.
