These are caucuses, not primaries, and ANY Iowan who is pro-life has no business voting for ANY of the Democrats.
It's not going to be a blowout win, and anything but that will really puncture all the hopes and dreams of the lifelong freeloader Sanders. Buttplug has already shifted his organization to focus on New Hampshire.
If Klobuchar makes fifth place (behind the top four), it could be a real knife into Psychojawea, who will finish fourth.
Wouldn't surprise me to see the order Biden, Buttigieg, Sanders, Warren, Klobuchar, followed by the rest of the also rans.

I have the feeling democrat everyday citizens are going to take this opportunity to give the finger to the thugs in the democrat Establishment. They’re growing to hate their ‘elites’ as much as we did... as much as we did before we started the long process of sweeping the filth out of our party.
IOWA - tell your arrogant ‘elites’ you don’t want them ... turn your back on the Clinton’s and their war machines..
Feel the Bernobyl.
“dimocrats should select their weakest candidate. So when the long knives come out after the election, they can squarely “blame” the poor quality candidate for the reason they lost to the bad Orange Man “
plus, that would save their “good” candidates from the ignominy of certain defeat ...
“It’s not going to be a blowout win, and anything but that will really puncture all the hopes and dreams of the lifelong freeloader Sanders.”
it’s impossible for a blowout win with this bunch because the Dem primary/causcuses allocate delegates proportionally, so all bernie needs to do is come away with more delegates that anyone else to maintain his momentum ...
furthermore, any candidate with less than 15% of the votes at a caucus is eliminated from sending delegates to county assemblies (ditto for county delegates to the state assembly, and same there as well), so it’s possible that Butty and Warren ultimately come away with far fewer delegates (maybe even zero) than state wide polls might indicate .... almost certainly none of the candidate polling in the single digits will walk away with ANY iowa delegates at all ... btw, most Dem primary/caucus states have some sort of 15% rule, so the really weak sisters get eliminated pretty quickly ..
Impossible is nothing.
Sanders 28%, Biden 21%, Buttigieg 15%, Warren 14%, Klobuchar 11%, margin of error of +/- 3.3%.
What is the timeline tonight?
First results should start coming in after 7 pm Central. Might take many hours for finals.
Thanks.
Plenty of time for meditation (nap).
Good question, hope someone knows. I rely on FR as my news aggregator. :^)
