    1. Pete is not responsible for how Iowa counts votes, besides, this video focused on counties Bernie won, not the counties Bernie lost.

    2. ruth depew
      One of the app creators is related to Pete’s communications director. I wonder why Pete declared victory so early…

    3. @Oscar Gabriel “If a man lies with a man, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death” the Bible is clear in Leviticus 20 about Pete

    1. If we had Approval voting, we could be looking at the real support for each candidate, right now. It would avoid a plurality “winner”, and avoid the spoiler effect. This voting method tells us NOTHING…it really does not. We will NEVER know the true support of each candidate. Approval voting strength is in it’s simplicity. https://youtu.be/db6Syys2fmE

    2. Pretty well because they keep winning elections and people keep voting for them. But you all are going to let 2016 happen again and keep voting Democrat because you are all a bunch of cowards

  1. Bernie is leading on the popular vote but Pete has more delegates. Where were all the Hillary supporters harping on the popular vote now ? No longer matters because its Bernie right ?

    1. Kevin H. If he is Impeached why is he still in the white house and why is he already running for reelection unopposed?

    2. @Kevin H. What do expect from someone, with so little an understanding of our government, that he doesn’t understand getting rid of the Electoral College would not just require the will of Congress, but ratification by 38 states? This fool thinks that is easier than conviction of the, already impeached, Trump.

    1. Were you always this stupid or did you have to work to get there. Watch the video again of NOTICE that they are focusing on counties Bernie won, not the ones he lost.

    1. Ohmy ready what I wrote slick. Read realclearpolitics, NYT, WP slick. What did you read? The Washington examiner😂?

    2. Ohmy THATS MY POINT. I SAID HE DIDNT HACK. SO YEAH. IT WAS A NICE TRY. DID YOU FORGET WHICH SIDE YOU WERE ARGUING ON?

  2. I don’t care about these incomplete results. What I wanna know is if Chris Matthews has sobered up enough to do the hardballs show this evening.

  3. It’s no surprise they released the numbers of the polls out like this. I told yall the DNC is going to go out of their way to discredit Sanders and his win in Iowa. Because not only have they not disclosed when they will release the other 39% but the narrative has set that buttigieg win so regardless if Sanders win or not its pointless to claim victory. This the same thing that happened to Rick Santorum (although I don’t like him) he really won Iowa but the media pushed it but as if Matt Romney won so Rick got absolutely little to none press coverage from it

    1. Slimdulla87 <-- Supporters of Bernie Sanders repeatedly applied his trademark phrase — “rigged” — to explain a 2016 primary they clearly lost. So Bernie supporters quickly pulled out their Bernie movement’s preexisting suspicion and quickly reprized their 2016 rigging claims to the Iowa Caucuses. It's getting old -- dude .

  4. They spent hours figuring out how to distribute the votes reasonably by their own APP! I’m sure that Pete cheated.
    WE NEED INVESTIGATION!

    1. @Dario did you really say it’s not rigged when Bernie Sanders had his own app and it wasn’t matching up that’s why they put it all down because they found out that Bernie Sanders was actually keeping numbers and every district not only that Pete buttigieg paid the company that made the app if that’s not cheating I don’t know what is

    2. @Jason Gant I don’t know if Bernie had an app of his own or not, but the Press reported his people had recorded unofficial data for all candidates for only 44% of precincts. Pete’s group recorded data for just his own campaign but for around 75% of precincts; and it showed his campaign had votes from all age groups across all demographics. Some folk like to fool themselves and others that Pete and his message/policies only appeal to older white folk, mostly female. I guess that’s not true. What else isn’t?

    3. @Ruth X what are you talkin about his campaign he paid for the app the app people told him what he needed to know Barney actor had real people at each polling place only one person can win at each polling place numbers are numbers it ain’t no beating around the bush and how can a candidate pay for the app that they use in the vote with

    4. Socialism is Better than Capitalism
      By “the establishment screwing Bernie” his supporters mean voters in primaries choosing someone else.

  5. DNC is an oxymoronic institution claiming to represent democracy. All legitimacy for this Organization is out the door. They dooped us, AGAIN!!

  6. Bernie won by a long shot. The DNC just couldn’t resist rigging it. And as a result, we have “partial” results showing Buttigieg in first place. This has corruption and rigged written ALL over it.

  7. Pete was polling in 4th place and held small rallies. Sanders was holding Yuge rallies and polling to sweep Iowa. Now the ‘app’ company is run by Clinton staffers and funded by Pete and his billionaire donors. Rigged!

  8. Am I alone in not believing the results? Especially the pete and amy results?? No friggin’ way they got that many votes.

  9. Pete , um .. no. No no.
    Bernie has the #receipts and he’s got the experience, he’s trusted and a good good man. sanders2020
