CNN’s Tapper on Biden Being Unviable at a Des Moines Precint: This Is an Urban Area with Lots of Young People

RUSH EXCERPT:

TAPPER: “Yeah, they’re counting right now. What’s going on is as we talked about the viability threshold, so each group is trying to reach the magic number of 56. There are 368 caucus attendees here. 15% of that is 56. We know the Buttigieg people feel like they have about 70-something, maybe 71 people. That means they reach the viability threshold. The Sanders on initial count, right now, klobuchar, yang, Biden, uncommitted, and all others, have not reached that level. So they have to figure out what they want to do now. Now, you heard some of the Biden people earlier saying they hope that the klobuchar people and the yang people would come over to them and join their gang. And reach viability for Joe Biden. Guess what, that’s what the yang people want the Biden people to do. We’re just talking about the neighborhood, it’s not as though people thought Biden was going to do well. That said, the fact he didn’t even make — the first cut on the first vote for viability threshold is saying something. Dana Bash is also here. Dana, what are you hearing? What are you seeing?”
