    Oh nice, look how the second lowest rate in the past 20 years is 1.5 years before one of the largest economic crashes in American history.

    You can pretty safely bet that every caucus, either intentionally or unintentionally, is rat****ed to hell. Every candidate could allege malpractice and be absolutely right.

    Looks like Pete may have hired Al Gore as his campaign consultant.

    lmao! don't worry man it's just Nevada. So many states for Mayo Pete to catch up. It starts with the recounting of Nevada. Cut down on your salt.

    The cult of personality between Trump and Bernie is worrisome. Still, Trump is far worse.

    So you were wrong earlier then? When you kept pushing for the other candidates healthcare, education plans? Then talking about “waffling”. Right?

    Just say you are Bernie or bust and don’t want to learn the other candidates plan’s because you’ve already decided they’ll never be good enough.

    All I want for the Bernie Bros is to admit the other candidates’ plans will never be good enough.

    hell no. I explicitly asked you to name another candidate that hasn't waffled on their plans. For some dumb ass reason you now assume I don't know the platforms of the other candidates. I asked you to name ONE candidate that hasn't waffled and you can't. Let it go. it's ok. jeez.

    I don't know about that.

    We have survived Trump so far and while it has been ugly we're still doing alright economically , I don't know that we survive the economic catastrophe that would be Bernie.

    I don't know how the hell that guy got anywhere close to the presidency - That's just an indicator of how bad Hillary was , how bad Trump is and how pathetic the rest of the Dem candidates are.

    No, you moved the goal post and interjected this subjective notion of “waffling”.

    Just admit it, you aren’t earnest because you’ve long made up your mind that only Bernie can be the savior.

    Trump is just going the Bush Jr 2.0 route economically.... print a bunch of money, spend a bunch of money, and a bunch of deregulation... just a bunch of over supply again.

    Trump used the tried and true method of nationalism and xenophobia to win 2016.

    Bernie won’t get much done, so I’m not concerned about Bernie in that regard.

    So now you're arguing that low credit delinquincies portend an economic crash? The opposite of what you were arguing yesterday?

    Or has it occurred to you that the two events were simply not correlated? You seem to consistently use bad data to argue the economy sucks and then go on weird tangents like this when your data falls apart.

    What is the issue here? Pete is not arguing that Bernie didn't win. He's specifically dealing with 2nd place because delegate battles matter. He's not arguing for a recount - he's saying the early voter preferences weren't calculated properly. No idea if that's true, but early voting is new this year in Nevada and caucuses aren't simply about counting ballots, so it's certainly possible. These caucuses would actually be a lot smoother (and error-free) if they just used the method they use with early voters for everyone - you just record your first, second, and third choices. Then a computer could do all the math accurately. It's the in-person switching that causes all the headaches - and here, it's how that was mixed in with the early voting ballots.

    Buttigieg's campaign is not challenging Bernie Sanders’ runaway win in the state. Instead, the Buttigieg camp is pointing to the battle further down the standings.

    “Given how close the race is between second and third place, we ask that you take these steps before releasing any final data,” Gaffney wrote.

    Actually Pete isn't close to Biden at all. With 70% of the vote in, Pete is over 7% behind Biden, Pete is much closer to being 4th then 2nd. I think what Pete is upset about is missing the 15% delegate mark.

    Pete asking for a recount because he might not get any delegates.
