Sanders supporters make it their day by posting dis-honest headlines and post.

And actually looked at the splits.
But I am having an entertaining time replying in the other thread on the subject.

(4,211 posts)4. The poll says nothing about "first timers". It specifies "Past Participation".
It doesn't specify what groups constitute those who did not have past participation. It might include first timers, however, that's not specified.

(6,437 posts)5. Um, it is first timers
The footnote for what past participation means (They *'d it):
*Past participation refers to previous participation in a Iowa Democratic Presidential Caucus.
So, have they ever caucused on the Democratic side, yes or no.

(4,211 posts)6. I stand corrected.
I interpreted the OP incorrectly.

(6,437 posts)7. No worries, from the other thread it looks like people are having issues with the pdf
And not seeing the full results. I'm about to edit my OP to be less snarky.
