What Did — And Didn’t — Go Down In The Iowa Caucuses

The caucus still seems pretty tilted toward Clinton 2016 voters (55 percent voted for her, compared to 30 percent who went for Sanders). Among the Clinton 2016 group, Biden, Buttigieg and Warren are all doing better, while Sanders is getting the majority of the Sanders 2016 caucusgoers — so far, more than preelection polls seemed to indicate. Among those who supported neither in 2016, Buttigieg is doing well.

Buttigieg’s representative is a woman with bright purple hair, highlighting her candidate’s “positivity and joy.” Plus, she says, he’s “our best chance to beat Trump.” Klobuchar’s representative, meanwhile, started by asking for a show of hands of people who are still undecided (not all that many) before launching into his pitch.
