What’s wrong with this?

In any other year, a young newcomer doing well in Iowa would be good news even though he won’t win.
I'd say there are several things wrong with it. Most important:

a) Biden has been held up as the front runner, the most electable, and the best chance of beating Trump. These numbers indicate he didn't give enough IA voters a warm and fuzzy, as a result, he's cleaning up the rear. That's bad for the democratic establishment.

b) Sanders even with being in DC during the last run up to the caucus was polling heavy in IA like he is in NH. For Pete to be on his heals or slightly ahead of him is a testament of how flawed the caucus system is. He essentially inherited leftover moderate voters because Biden didn't have a strong showing.

c) This momentum only serves to help his political career going forward but hurts the potential nominee who could be reaping the political capital that he's stealing with his time in the spotlight.

Basically Pete needs to stand the fukk down for the good of the party and this election, but won't because he has his head so far up his own ass, because of these stupid polls that everyone including HL has been putting stock in since last year.

He legit thinks he has a shot to beat Donald Trump in the election when most of the country doesn't even know who he is

Wattup ya'll
Bernie vs Hillary, hillary & DNC steals nomination from Bernie, trump wins & everyone screams russian bots.

Today, Iowa caucus.
Former clinton staffers involved with shadow company & pete Buttigieg paid for creation of the app & claims victory.
No russian bots needed!

Mainstream media says Sanders is a loser because he did not meet his expectations & says nothing about the scandal & just calls it disorganized.

Imagine if Russian bots were involved, media would be allll over ittt.
But here because the corruption is inside the party they shut up.

So what are you guys mad at? No russian bots here ya'll!!!

This is actually one part of the caucus system that I do like. The same goes for ranked choice voting.

why are we still getting hyped about pete? dude is not viable in real/diverse states. chill out. the media is propping him up big off this, but it's a hard reality check in the south, in more progressive states, and states where being a hokey midwestern local official someone wants to have a beer with aint enough
