Should have known this is what I'd wake up to.

 

“you know some people call him Mayor Pete In-The-Buttigeig. Many people, actually.”

 

Hey, I figured out how to post from the future.gonna be a fun day full of bullshit and then everything is bad forever until we invent time travel posting but even then it’s not great.

Buy gold!

 

Pete Buttcheeks is the one I'd bet on him going with

 

you, and I really can’t stress this enough, love to see it

 

So yeah, the results will probably be released like an hour before the state of the union tonight and get no coverage lol

 

honestly if Pete is as close to winning as he might be...it might be for the best. Especially going into another strong state for Bernie and Warren(though Pete has really eaten into Warren’s numbers there)

 

omg

 

among white people*

 

Pete sucks but he arguably has the most to lose from this. The air is already out of the balloon on a media cycle that would have been “Pete way outperformed his polling” if the numbers had just come out on time (and if they match Sanders’ camp’s numbers). And if the results come out today, it’s gonna have to share airtime with the SOTU and End of the Impeachment Hearings news cycles.

Would be pretty funny tho if he went to all the trouble to rig the caucus app and then shot himself in the foot by declaring victory too early and setting off this current news cycle about how he probably shouldn’t have done that

 

Yeah ... that’s American politics in a nutshell

 

Nevada Democratic Party right now:

 

NYT and NPR going at Pete for declaring himself the winner like "No, only WE can declare who wins Iowa."

Bold move usurping their power, Pete.

 

Pete found the only way he could lose the Times, thinking himself above the needle

 

its just. if there's no conspiracy, the dems are really bad at not making it seem like there's no conspiracy

 

Yang and Steyer need to drop out and endorse Bernie but with all this confusion maybe they decide to stay in at least through New Hampshire ugh
