No comedy script writer in Hollywood could dream up a scenario like this Iowa fiasco that the Democrats managed all by themselves. What a bunch of helpless rubes.
This also brings up a point I heard discussed on the radio around the holidays. Ever since the Bush/Gore/Florida debacle, and more so since Hillary won the popular vote in 2016, Democrats have railed about the injustice of the electoral college system, and delegates, and individual states carrying too much weight, etc. They've insisted that a direct popular vote is the only "democratic" way to go.
Well, every political party has the right to pick their nominees using whatever method they like. So if the Democrats believe that direct popular vote is the most fair, why do they not have a one-day national primary election and pick their nominee that way, rather than using this archaic, unfair system of state caucuses, primaries, and nominating conventions that they claim to despise? Are they stupid, or just hypocrites?

They're both stupid and hypocrites. Exactly. Is anyone surprised that the Iowa democrat caucus has shown America how incompetent & dumb these people are ? These are the people who want to completely take over and run medical care for Americans. They want to run EVERYTHING for us !!.. free this ! Free that ! everything will be free and ... controlled by these most accomplished and competent ... uh ... democrats ..... yeah ? ? ? Yeah.... Remember the great & wonderful 'deal' obama & his "care" was for us ? Remember how well the obama "care" website functioned ? We just witnessed how competent - or incompetent - these people who want to "make our lives better" really are - rather AREN'T ! The Iowa caucuses have more than one loser, and maybe the biggest one is the Democratic Party.
What this shows is a Democratic Party in meltdown. The Sanders-loving base is absolutely livid.

The optimistic take on the current fiasco rendering Democrats incapable of announcing the results of the Iowa caucuses is that the party is hopelessly incompetent. They have shamed not just themselves, but the state of Iowa, which is now denied its quadrennial place in the national spotlight and made to appear like a bunch of rubes, primitives, and idiots. Don't expect the Dems to win Iowa's electoral votes this year.

Several prominent members of the GOP trolled Democrats after the colossal Iowa caucus failure that transpired Monday evening into Tuesday, mocking it as the party “that wants to run” everyone’s health care.
“If Democrats cant run a caucus, cant run an impeachment, can’t fire an intelligence committee chair who lies constantly, how could they run healthcare,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich asked:..
“The failures of the Democrats’ Impeachment Witch Hunt and the #IACaucus will be inextricably linked in the history books,” former Trump 2016 campaign communications adviser Jason Miller said in a Twitter thread.
“Gross confusion and ineptitude, combined with unbridled Trump Derangement Syndrome, will not fair favorably over time”... www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/02/04/gop-trolls-dnc-this-is-the-party-that-wants-to-run-your-health-care/ |

This is what alway gets me, if its majority WHITE it must be broken up due to its racist nature, if it's majority anything else its ALL GOOD?
So is Armenia (97.9% Armenian) a racist country? Australia certainly must be at 92% white. Right? How about Egypt? At 98% Egyptian it must be EGYPT for EGYPTIANS only! Racist! How about those racist islands floating about Haiti (95% black) and Samoa (93% Samoan), do they get a pass be cuz of tourists on the island do not constitute residence to inhabitants?
And what about African nations, must be considered under this logic to be one of the most racist places on earth, Zambia and Zimbabwe are 99% BLACK! OMG! WTF!! Apparently Africa is prime territory for some liberal minded social engineering!

What's really hysterical is that this Zerlina Maxwell is a major network PAID political analyst.
Let that sink in for a while.

Stocks saying Bernie Sanders doesn't stand a chance in 2020
www.foxbusiness.com/markets/stocks-bernie-sanders-2020-election-hopes-slim
Investors are showing no signs of concern that Sen. Bernie Sanders will end up in the White House in January.
Sanders, I-Vt., who has all but secured a top-two finish in the Iowa caucus, has rocketed to the top of the field of Democratic presidential candidates in recent polls. The online platform PredictIt www.predictit.org/markets/detail/3633 now gives him a 48 percent chance of winning the party's nomination, up from 25 percent at the end of last year.
At the same time, the stock market has shrugged off President Trump’s impeachment trial and the coronavirus outbreak, gaining about 3 percent this year.
“The lack of any stock market reaction to Sanders' surge suggests that investors either still don't believe he can win the Democratic nomination against the more centrist candidates or, alternatively, that Sanders will win the nomination but, in doing so, his lack of appeal to independents makes it even more likely that Trump will be re-elected," wrote Andrew Hunter, senior U.S. economist at London-based Capital Economics.

Trump is upstaging and humiliating the Democrats in their own primary territory. All their candidates combined couldn't draw half this crowd.
