According to the Iowa Democratic Party the final word is:
Pete will claim 14 delegates.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will receive 12,
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren will get eight,
former Vice President Joe Biden will receive six, and
Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar will get one.

Pete will be 39 years and 1 day on Inauguration Day 2021 (nice Birthday gift if he wins).
Teddy Roosevelt was 42 years, 322 days after the assassination of William McKinley (having been VP for 6 months).
John F. Kennedy, was 43 years, 236 days of age on Inauguration Day on January 20, 1961).


Five heads of government have been openly gay in Europe with the largest being 11.5 million in Belgium
1 Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir 2009–2013 Iceland Prime Minister
2 Elio Di Rupo 2011–2014 Belgium Prime Minister
3 Xavier Bettel 2013–present Luxembourg Prime Minister
4 Leo Varadkar 2017–present Ireland Taoiseach
5 Ana Brnabić 2017–present Serbia Prime Minister

U.S. is a very unlikely contender to be the first major country to elect an openly gay person as Head of State/Government.

Sadly, I think you are right. But then again, I didn't think we were progressive enough to elect a black man President.

Did you see the pregame interview with Trump? He has a pet name for them all, and he joked about Bloomberg asking for "a box to stand on." That little addition of "a box" is so funny, makes Bloomberg sound like he is at the kiddie table.

It's like that woman voter in IA
that didn't know he was Gay
till she got to the polling area.
She was appalled and left
immediately. I guarantee a
huge number of Dems don't
even know he's Gay yet cause
they ain't paying attention.

He'll never get the Black or
Latino vote or the evangelical
vote or Catholic because he's
Gay. And it will be that way
for a long time.

This was a comment from a NH
article:

"I'm just realizing the Democrat choices are: a gay guy with a last name that starts with Butt, a fake Cherokee Indian, some old codger who like to sniff girls hands and can’t remember what day it is, and a 78 yr old yelling communist. Seriously?"

Biden called some woman in
the audience today a 'dog
faced liar'. Good thing he's
going to finish in 5th place,
sleepy ol Joe has lost his mind.

Because Trump knows how and when to use it.
The President is a fink.

Not to be outdone, the Republicans went and followed it up with our first colored president.
Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.
