Any predictions for the Iowa caucuses? I’ve already presented mine: either 1) Biden 2) Sanders with the others following after or 1) Sanders 2) Biden with the others following.

I have no idea. Am getting the impression Iowa may not count as much this year?
I predict people being bussed in and blatant in-your-face cheating and manipulation of the caucuses including on-the-spot rule changes to prevent a Bernie majority. There will be screams, shrieks, gnashing of teeth, and Trump-blaming for the bitter infighting by the punditry over a delegate or two. I also predict the closer that Bernie gets to securing a majority of delegates more superdelegates will be added by the DNC. Much as I consider the entire Democratic field including Bloomberg a rolling disaster, I don’t want bloodshed. I think it comes down to how much blood the DNC is willing to tolerate to get its way.
Doesn’t it get tiring, or at least monotonous, to describe everything the Democratic Party is going to do in the most hyperbolic, negative way possible?

Supposedly there are somewhere between 5 to 8 counties in Iowa that have over 100% registered voters – meaning that some of the Iowa voter rolls are inaccurate. This has been problematic in other states as well, including CO & CA. Democrats, though, seem to have no interest in updating or thinning voter rolls out of inactive, probably dead voters. They also balk at voter ID, even though polling indicates a large majority of the public approve of voter ID. So, the idea of voter fraud, manipulation will probably continue, even in Iowa, where it appears that Bernie will be the likely winner – this time not through corrupted voter registration, but more because of his well organized, enthusiastic ground game.
Hey Steve, let me introduce you to this black kettle.
In any event, it appears the Russians have hacked Iowa……..
Iowa Democrat caucuses are in a chaotic mess! Sometimes that’s the result when a party tries too hard to manipulate the political narrative, like in the case of the impeachment hearings, or the vote, as in the case of the unraveling Iowa caucuses.
Steve: I’m glad to admit my prediction was wrong, there appears to have been no violence at the caucuses or too much in the way of dead ringers and repeaters. Instead we got an unholy chaotic mess reminiscent of the hanging chad election. Actually worse than that, since we have no f**kin clue as to what any of the vote counts are at all, much less whether we can trust them ever. And although I may often sound hyperbolic, it’s these sort of foreseeable and avoidable disasters that worries me about the Democratic Party. If they’re going to be the opposition party, much less the ruling party, can they at least be competent at it? At least the old political machines knew how to rig the vote fair and square, get the vote out, and get things done for the wards.
I does appear the Russians have the most effective ground game. Wonder if Sanders has friends there from his younger days?
I’ve come to believe we’re mere puppets to the genius Russian schemes.
Fear has big eyes you know.
