 Iowa isn't a winner-take-all state in terms of total delegates right? I don't understand caucuses.

i think the democratic one is still a traditional caucus where each precinct allocates delegates proportionally, after a redistribution phase with everybody in groups chanting at each other, and then THOSE delegates go do ANOTHER caucus where THEY join up in groups and choose ANOTHER group of delegates, and THOSE delegates actually VOTE at the convention

i think

the republicans have done their best to neuter the caucus system, the second stage is still gonna happen but all the delegates chosen there will basically be handed their choice of nominee in an envelope. each candidate gets a proportional number of delegates: if you got 10% of the vote you get 3 of the 30 delegates. there's some silly rounding rules, of course

Ah I see. 2008 was the last time I cared about this and that was a long time ago, but it's starting to come back to me. Thanks!

 I am watching a college-aged Bernie supporter debate presumably a Hillary supporter and I'm deathly afraid to unmute this stream.

 At this point I don't even care what the final result is, I just want Bernie to tell me a bedtime story so I can go to sleep.

You know, a fairytale.

 A literal tie is the best because not only does it mean Bernie didn't lose but also the millennials who were too lazy to go vote now have mad egg on their faces.

 Is there really just one county left that's tied 50-50 according to CNN? I hope in the end this comes down to a single precinct and they livestream the final coin flip

 I pray Sanders somehow wins by precisely 1 delegate, so that we can discuss in the dem primary thread whether the front runner Bernie Sanders can be challenged by fringe candidate Clinton.
