    1. @eddyk If they don’t ask about him firing the first black police chief for finding out there were racist police captains in South Bend, if they don’t press him about his connections to Shadow and their app that tried to give him Iowa even when he lost by thousands of votes, then it isn’t a tough interview.

    2. He like many other candidates used Shadow for a secure texting app. Also he had to fire the police chief, the police chief was under FBI investigation.

    1. Roo Thunderbear Really? You’re triggered by this??? Just don’t watch the video, if you have a problem with him

  1. Bernie has won Iowa. He will also win New Hampshire. On Super Tuesday, Bernie will win every single state, except for maybe one or two in the Deep South. *BERNIE 2020*

    1. You dont support Bernie and U know it!! You know Bernie will fold to MSNBCannibals with the least amount of pressure applied

  2. 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀
    🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀
    🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀

  3. “After coming in first in the Iowa caucuses”… um, maybe some pushback when the person you’re interviewing says something that is SIMPLY NOT TRUE, Stephanie!

    1. gdouglas999 True “enough”? No. It’s very simply not true. There are four metrics: popular initial vote, realigned popular vote, SDEs, and number of actual delegates taken to the convention. The first two he has definitely lost (margin is too big to make up with 3% left to count), the fourth he will exactly tie with Bernie. That leaves the SDEs, which, apart from being completely meaningless beyond being an arcane calculating stage before arriving at the national delegate number, is the one metric we DON’T know yet, because the SDE margin is razor thin and the late surge in counting was in Bernie’s favour. That means Bernie has a legitimate claim to a victory – and he’s been very clear to qualify which kind. Pete does not.

    2. @gdouglas999 grow up? Like little peter will do one day. Our little boy! He should accept defeat and move on.

      Maybe he can run for state treasurer in Indiana again. When he grows some hair on his chest.

    3. @fromchomleystreet What is completely meaningless is your attempt to make it look like this caucus wasn’t essentially a tie. It matters not, anyway. Iowa is a drop in the bucket in the overall scheme of things. The important thing to realize is that this election is about one thing only–and that is defeating Donald Trump. Our ideologically pure goals can wait until we have someone in place who can work toward achieving them and I strongly suspect the only candidate in the race who has the skills to mop the floor with Donald Trump in a debate is Buttigeig. i worked my butt off for Bernie in 2016 but that was then, this in now. Bernie’s time has passed. Time for generational change.

  4. The difference between Mayo Pete and Creepy Old Joe is Mayo is young. They’re both middle of the road, nothing will change, going back in time with the health care ACA is good enough and of course they have no new policies. Oh I forgot. They like taking money from millionaires..

  5. And why haven’t the full Iowa results been released yet? Maybe beacuse Pete needed to go to The View today as a “winner.”

    1. A.J. Smith You know why the full Iowa results haven’t been released yet? ‘Cause they’d be inaccurate, just like DNC chairman Tom Perez said
