The fiasco in Iowa makes the Democrats look like they couldn’t get laid in a monkey brothel while wearing a banana costume
I haven’t seen a self inflicted meltdown as bad as the Democratic Iowa results since Chernobyl!
The inability to provide a clear cut result to the Iowa Caucuses is incredibly damaging to the Party who look dangerously incompetent.
It means no one can generate the momentum the Iowa win is supposed to provide, it doesn’t cull the laggards and in this age of social media, it allows for conspiracy to flood the feeds of everyone.
In 2016, the Democrats maliciously kneecapped Bernie Sanders in favour of the terrible Hillary Clinton, and their hierarchy is again frightened that a positive populist like Bernie would damage the Democratic Party’s relationships with vested corporate interests, so I’m not ruling any level of scumbaggery to twist or manipulate a result.
Trump is laughing all the way back to the White House.
Sound like a party we know? Suffice to say its no better in US than here and I’ll add that applies to a lot of other nations too Australia, Canada and more….Coke and Pepi politics in the service of big business and banks….
Chill. That was US pundit Robert Reich’s advice this morning, he cited the pervasive effect on people these days of the speed user like need for “instant news gratification”, and 24 hr attention span. Twitter outrage–and then the facts emerge, but people have moved on to the next hit.
Bernie Sanders has not gone ballistic so far either. Was the Iowa aborted count a plausible if vastly embarrassing glitch, or a DNC fix? Pete Buttigeig contributed funding it is claimed to Shadow, who developed the software in question, but he is wealthy just helping out the DNC and local Democrats perhaps. But then there is the case of the Des Moines Register “gold” poll that was pulled, after allegedly Buttigeig was somehow left off it! Who knows for sure yet.
Look there could be no fixing involved at all, but make no mistake, the DNC is out to smash Bernie’s campaign.
I blame THE RUSSIANS!!!
G.A.P.: “I blame THE RUSSIANS!!!”
Hahahaha! So do I, so do I….
Headline today on Moon of Alabama website: “Putin Prepares To Release Iowa Caucus Results”
Cracker!
Boris & Natasha say – Must be work of Moose & Squirrel!
I’m wondering how long it is before America decides to invade itself given the current propensity of its citizens have for voting for the ‘wrong’ people…
“Although Pete Buttigieg leads the caucus results, Bernie Sanders is leading the popular vote count, at 28,220 over Buttigieg’s 27,030.
Elizabeth Warren collected 22,254 votes and Joe Biden has 14,176, with 62% of precincts reporting.
In terms of percentages, here’s how the popular vote counts break down:
Sanders: 27%
Buttigieg: 25%
Warren: 21%
Biden: 13%
Klobuchar: 13%”
