    I don't know. It looks really close. I would call it a tie.

    But look at how poorly Biden did.

    Do you think Bernie can make it to the election? He looks pretty frail to me. I think Pete got so many votes simply because he isn't a doddering old fart like the rest of them are.

        I am my wife's first husband. And she is my first wife!
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          I think Pete got so many votes because of the structure of the Iowa Caucus --- it's more about a popularity contest and who can turn out people to vote.

          But, he hasn't been under withering fire like Trump. Yet. And I'd guess that anybody who attacked his poor record will be declared a homophobe.

            So now it is our fault!

            Iowa Democratic official blames Trump supporters for Iowa caucuses debacle

            It took two full days, but Iowa Democrats found a way to connect their total failure to count Iowa caucus votes to President Donald Trump.


            Bloomberg reported Wednesday night that state Democratic caucus central committee member Ken Sagar, without evidence, blamed the communications breakdown on Trump supporters jamming up phone lines and preventing precinct officials from calling in results to the state party.

              Laughing.... so... the Republicans KNEW the app was a disaster, and were organized and efficient enough to immediately jump on the phone lines..... and THEN the dog came in and ate their homework?

              This is hysterical.

                But not surprising...

                  If only there was some way they could have not used an untested app as their primary means of vote tabulation.

                    Interesting because news reports were saying that precinct officials called state HQ but were either simply left on hold or hung up on.

                      So the Republicans were controlling the phones too! It all makes sense!

                        Nevada primary should be interesting. I really wish I could find out more about the company of the app they're using. Unless I missed it, this article is pretty mum about it.

                            I have no problem getting there but to read more than the first couple of paragraphs you have to "click here." Probably requesting you subscribe to continue but I wasn't curious enough to find out.
