Dueling Democrats Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders were at a dead heat during the Iowa caucus, but their numbers were even closer at a Polk County precinct.

Drawing to 1.56%. What a joke.

I heard she had the same type of luck a while back betting on cattle futures.

Communists like Weekend At Bernies are terrible with money. Perhaps he would have won if they flipped a welfare check or a block of free government cheese instead.
I beginning to think this Caucus stuff is pure nonsense.
>>>I thought Bill favored heads<<<
Yes, after he caught a glance of Hillary’s Tail.
It was fair...they announced, “Heads” Hil-liar-y wins, “Tails” Bernie loses.
The socialist or the liar and iowa party bosses chose the liar.
According to Monica, it’s tossed salad that Slick Willie likes. Not on the menu at Chez Clinton.
