Bernie isn't going to run. The whole thing is a con job.

The Ron Paul Maneuver?

Apparently six delegates were decided by coin tosses. Amazingly all six went to Hillary, which has a 1/64 chance of happening. If three went to Bern he would have won the state.

Which side had the NFL logo?

To be fair, I was suspicious when David Stern was announced as the official DNC coin flipper for the Iowa caucus.

So Hilary won because of basketball reasons

I knew it

The Gods have chosen!

So I took a "who should I vote for?" quiz and I'm apparently going to vote for Bernie Sanders since he's one of the only candidates who's most aligned with my beliefs right now (Clinton shockingly came in second). The quiz seems to be accurate since it corroborated my slight left-of-center-libertarian position on the political spectrum. There's also literally no one on the republican side I can see myself voting for. I want to sock Ted Cruz in that smug face of his and I sure as fuck will not vote for Hitler 2.0, so that leaves only Rand Paul on the republican side and there's no way he'll get the nomination.

Serious question: is there a possibility of a Sanders/Clinton ticket come election time?

[icarusfall]

I doubt it. They stand for different things. I could see him asking Elizabeth Warren maybe.

[Diff-chan]

I don't see Sanders having much influence in a Clinton White House. And I don't see Sanders picking Clinton either.

Hillary already had a meeting with Warren a few months ago, probably about exactly that. But if she wouldn't leave the Senate for a potential run at the presidency, she's not going to leave after a 2/3 of her term to VP imo. She says she wants to complete her term and has shown she's pretty serious about sticking to it.

I hope she does stay for at least a full term. She's doing awesome work in there.

My Senate waifu.
