Nice to see that both parties have thoroughly screwed the pooch in Iowa now. Maybe we can stop placing such importance on those silly caucuses.

#Tomperezresign is trending on twitter, too. Looks like an implosion in the DNC in the works.
And here I thought the RNC was the only party stupid enough to shoot itself in the foot like this.

IMO, it should be messy. If it goes too smoothly, I tend to wonder who is manipulating things.

Seems like a good time to remind people that Trump and Mitch McConnell opposed measures to further secure our elections for 2020. #IowaCaucuses #IowaCaucusDisaster https://t.co/4bnAN7qjKE

LOL Buttigieg tried to declare victory in Iowa.

He may be not far from that, I bet he is in the top three when the results come out.

Well, the app was developed by a company called SHADOW.

Which is owned by friends of Hillary Clinton.

So far, it looks like Trump is winning the Iowa democrat circus I mean caucus.

The Schadenfreude overdose is almost too much to bear.

Is it too much to hope that this is just the first in a line of dominoes that sees the unraveling of the Democratic Party?

I'm actually willing to let Milwaukee burn a bit if it means that the party devolves into a pastiche of greens, socialists, and paleo-democrats perpetually at each other's throats and unable to gain traction nationally for a generation or two.

The Nevada Dems (NDs) were originally planning on using the same app as the Iowa Dems, but NDs just indicated that given the app's failure, they're not going to use it.

I'm also wondering if they had all the results before midnight and just gaming the system to slow down the 24/7 news cycle/or poke CNN in the eye.

No.

No possible upside for them because this makes the entire Democratic Party look absolutely incompetent as hell. That would make about as much sense as Nancy Pelosi holding the articles of impeachment to force a better deal in the Senate....

Wait a minute....

In any event, no. This is an absolute image disaster for the Democrats, one they're going to be dealing with for months.
