░░░░░░░░ is screwing up things ░░░░░░░░ to be a problem ░░░░░░░░ Democrats Just screwing them ░░░░░░░░ RATHER It s already ░░░░░░░░ problem as we see ░░░░░░░░ thing occurs to me ░░░░░░░░ that line the caucus ░░░░░░░░ is not understood by ░░░░░░░░ people in this country ░░░░░░░░ a lot of people ░░░░░░░░ Iowa Great reporting with ░░░░░░░░ map and everything but ░░░░░░░░ people when you talk ░░░░░░░░ these caucuses you may ░░░░░░░░ well be speaking swahili ░░░░░░░░ high Norris Most people ░░░░░░░░ t understand With the ░░░░░░░░ screw up about the ░░░░░░░░ this under cuts people ░░░░░░░░ confidence in our whole ░░░░░░░░ system This is the ░░░░░░░░ take away At a ░░░░░░░░ people are already suspicious ░░░░░░░░ voting machines can they ░░░░░░░░ manipulated and hacking now ░░░░░░░░ on top of this ░░░░░░░░ totally incompetent Democratic Party ░░░░░░░░ the Iowa Caucuses They ░░░░░░░░ t the saying used ░░░░░░░░ be to err is ░░░░░░░░ Foul up you need ░░░░░░░░ computer Now to err ░░░░░░░░ human and mess up ░░░░░░░░ need an app MATTHEWS ░░░░░░░░ going to get in ░░░░░░░░ argument about unfairness or ░░░░░░░░ racism there is a ░░░░░░░░ freaking fact 25 of ░░░░░░░░ Democratic voters are African ░░░░░░░░ is it in Iowa ░░░░░░░░ MAXWELL 91 white 4 ░░░░░░░░ and 3 Latino It ░░░░░░░░ just not representative of ░░░░░░░░ democratic electorate MATTHEWS We ░░░░░░░░ to get back to ░░░░░░░░ buttiegieg who responded to ░░░░░░░░ partial Iowa results we ░░░░░░░░ about 3 5 of ░░░░░░░░ vote at a campaign ░░░░░░░░ in New Hampshire tonight ░░░░░░░░ he is Buttigieg clip ░░░░░░░░ BUTTIGIEG They re not ░░░░░░░░ but results are in ░░░░░░░░ a majority of precincts ░░░░░░░░ they show our campaign ░░░░░░░░ first place Cheers and ░░░░░░░░ So we don t ░░░░░░░░ all of the numbers ░░░░░░░░ we know this much ░░░░░░░░ campaign that started a ░░░░░░░░ ago with four staff ░░░░░░░░ no name recognition no ░░░░░░░░ just a big idea ░░░░░░░░ campaign that some said ░░░░░░░░ have no business even ░░░░░░░░ this attempt has taken ░░░░░░░░ place at the front ░░░░░░░░ this race to replace ░░░░░░░░ current president with a ░░░░░░░░ vision for the future ░░░░░░░░ and applause clip ends ░░░░░░░░ Sanders camp Sanders campaign ░░░░░░░░ Weaver put out a ░░░░░░░░ on the partial results ░░░░░░░░ we are gratified in ░░░░░░░░ partial data released so ░░░░░░░░ it s clear in ░░░░░░░░ first and second round ░░░░░░░░ people voted for Bernie ░░░░░░░░ any other candidate in ░░░░░░░░ field Er in a ░░░░░░░░ senator Elizabeth Warren cited ░░░░░░░░ powerful grassroots movement out ░░░░░░░░ saying we ve come ░░░░░░░░ of Iowa in the ░░░░░░░░ three We are in ░░░░░░░░ strong position heading into ░░░░░░░░ Hampshire Nevada super Tuesday ░░░░░░░░ s go Buttigieg s ░░░░░░░░ there very elegant very ░░░░░░░░ It would have been ░░░░░░░░ lot more powerful if ░░░░░░░░ was delivered at midnight ░░░░░░░░ That s exactly right ░░░░░░░░ a dollar late a ░░░░░░░░ short and a day ░░░░░░░░ What happened yesterday is ░░░░░░░░ watching an old I ░░░░░░░░ Lucy rerun It gets ░░░░░░░░ fast We are not ░░░░░░░░ to be talking about ░░░░░░░░ in the next week ░░░░░░░░ so I ve always ░░░░░░░░ even when Iowa has ░░░░░░░░ it has been MATTHEWS ░░░░░░░░ know who is going ░░░░░░░░ be talking about it ░░░░░░░░ next year Every Republican ░░░░░░░░ I m not so ░░░░░░░░ MATTHEWS We ll see ░░░░░░░░ We have to put ░░░░░░░░ in perspective It has ░░░░░░░░ been overmagnified Ted Cruz ░░░░░░░░ Iowa is not president ░░░░░░░░ won Iowa is not ░░░░░░░░ MATTHEWS These are Republicans ░░░░░░░░ out of 11 Democrats ░░░░░░░░ won in Iowa went ░░░░░░░░ to win the nomination ░░░░░░░░ only two that didn ░░░░░░░░ were neighbors Harkin from ░░░░░░░░ state of Iowa ISRAEL ░░░░░░░░ Clinton lost Iowa became ░░░░░░░░ Here s my point ░░░░░░░░ He didn t run ░░░░░░░░ Iowa Let s get ░░░░░░░░ straight Steve He never ░░░░░░░░ because Harkin got 90 ░░░░░░░░ the vote It is ░░░░░░░░ great leading indicator since ░░░░░░░░ 70s who was going ░░░░░░░░ be the nominee That ░░░░░░░░ a fact ISRAEL Like ░░░░░░░░ the Super Bowl you ░░░░░░░░ a lot of game ░░░░░░░░ front of you we ░░░░░░░░ a lot of politics ░░░░░░░░ front of us New ░░░░░░░░ Biden will run strong ░░░░░░░░ Nevada South Carolina you ░░░░░░░░ to super Tuesday This ░░░░░░░░ a marathon to Milwaukee ░░░░░░░░ will say this I ░░░░░░░░ not sure that any ░░░░░░░░ is going to come ░░░░░░░░ with the requisite number ░░░░░░░░ delegates they need for ░░░░░░░░ first ballot in Milwaukee ░░░░░░░░ s what this is ░░░░░░░░ MATTHEWS Elise looking at ░░░░░░░░ from the outside the ░░░░░░░░ it s called mishigas ░░░░░░░░ Yiddish it s complete ░░░░░░░░ And I don t ░░░░░░░░ a pattern here except ░░░░░░░░ is the star the ░░░░░░░░ star on the block ░░░░░░░░ s no doubt about ░░░░░░░░ I couldn t pronounce ░░░░░░░░ name like most of ░░░░░░░░ a year ago And ░░░░░░░░ he is winning in ░░░░░░░░ JORDAN I would not ░░░░░░░░ though that it was ░░░░░░░░ total victory for Mayor ░░░░░░░░ just because he didn ░░░░░░░░ get to really because ░░░░░░░░ all the chaos he ░░░░░░░░ not able to bask ░░░░░░░░ the glow which is ░░░░░░░░ Iowa is really all ░░░░░░░░ Bernie Sanders is going ░░░░░░░░ go into New Hampshire ░░░░░░░░ s going to be ░░░░░░░░ a great position Then ░░░░░░░░ s going into Nevada ░░░░░░░░ he s also going ░░░░░░░░ be well positioned Republicans ░░░░░░░░ as you pointed out ░░░░░░░░ jubilant about what went ░░░░░░░░ last night in Iowa ░░░░░░░░ s a rehash of ░░░░░░░░ Obama era website MATTHEWS ░░░░░░░░ mispronounce the name Nevada ░░░░░░░░ s not Nevauda it ░░░░░░░░ Nevada Why am I ░░░░░░░░ this Anyway let s ░░░░░░░░ about the unfairness of ░░░░░░░░ as a launching pad ░░░░░░░░ have said some tough ░░░░░░░░ You said systematic racism ░░░░░░░░ repression it is repression ░░░░░░░░ normal people don t ░░░░░░░░ out and vote for ░░░░░░░░ hours on a cold ░░░░░░░░ night stand around until ░░░░░░░░ neighbor they have anybody ░░░░░░░░ wants to hear they ░░░░░░░░ voting Nobody does that ░░░░░░░░ I think the caucus ░░░░░░░░ is undemocratic It doesn ░░░░░░░░ allow for people who ░░░░░░░░ working class people who ░░░░░░░░ the night shift people ░░░░░░░░ have small children the ░░░░░░░░ who is over 18 ░░░░░░░░ is staying with those ░░░░░░░░ so parents can go ░░░░░░░░ It s disenfranchising certain ░░░░░░░░ The people you are ░░░░░░░░ happen to be lower ░░░░░░░░ and often people of ░░░░░░░░ My point is that ░░░░░░░░ s a structural problem ░░░░░░░░ the primary process and ░░░░░░░░ Democratic Party should look ░░░░░░░░ whether they should change ░░░░░░░░ the order of the ░░░░░░░░ so that more diverse ░░░░░░░░ MATTHEWS What do you ░░░░░░░░ What do you want ░░░░░░░░ Michigan perhaps doing a ░░░░░░░░ primary where it s ░░░░░░░░ couple different states voting ░░░░░░░░ the same time But ░░░░░░░░ an accurate snapshot of ░░░░░░░░ the Democratic primary electorate ░░░░░░░░ large not just one ░░░░░░░░ of Americans in Iowa ░░░░░░░░ I think that s ░░░░░░░░ know it s tough ░░░░░░░░ but I think it ░░░░░░░░ language that Americans can ░░░░░░░░ And it s a ░░░░░░░░ check for Democrats because ░░░░░░░░ base of our party ░░░░░░░░ s shifting towards more ░░░░░░░░ more people of color ░░░░░░░░ outcomes And we as ░░░░░░░░ establishment I m not ░░░░░░░░ of the establishment but ░░░░░░░░ Democratic establishment and the ░░░░░░░░ leadership need to really ░░░░░░░░ on what voters we ░░░░░░░░ targeting and how we ░░░░░░░░ making it easier for ░░░░░░░░ to access the ballot ░░░░░░░░
