So bad is this that the Des Moines Register refused to release the last poll before the caucuses. (They've never done that before.)
Seems the Democrats have a problem with nominating the candidate they should have nominated last election.
If they'd have nominated Bernie last election, they might have won. If they'd have nominated Hillary in 2008, they'd have had the still young, telegenic Senator from Illinois to run later.
Instead they ran Obama in 2008 and now have 0 bench to pull from.
(Of course, I don't think it matters who they run this time, they will lose bigly.)
-
Going to be rather interesting to see what the DNC pulls out of their rabbit hat to bury him again.
-
Bernie and Joe will both unexpectedly fall ill and drop out or pass away.
Luckily for the Democrats Hillary will step up and agree to run for president.
Her love of the American people and the Constitution wouldn't let it be otherwise.
-
Yeah, right after I typed that I had a version of Hillary's head popping up out of a rabbit hat saying "Surprise!" Not 12:00 yet is it?
-
Iowa is always a bit different than the other state primaries. Bernie has some dedicated supporters, but they alone won't get him the nomination. Will he get enough other support/votes to challenge like he did last time? I don't know.
Do any of you know Democrats around you? Are they enthusiastic about any of the candidates?

I believe the device they're using this time around is called a Bloomberg.

The unit I currently work with is based in Iowa, and one of the guys in my section is a Democrat.
He is not a Sanders fan, and leans towards Buttigieg. He thinks Bernie's long history of open Socialism will be too much for the middle to swallow in a general election, especially the rust belt union folks.
-

Warren, Sanders, Klobuchar and Buttigieg in that order.

Interesting speculations on Bernie, Tulsi and Hillary.
I guess we should expect things to get even crazier.

Mostly Bernie or Warren. 2nd runners up are Klobuchar, Buttigieg and Yang. Everyone else doesn't seem to even make a statistical blip.

The leadership seems awfully worried about Sanders. It wouldn't be surprising if they helped Warren with her little milkshake duck ambush a couple of weeks ago. Then again some say CNN is the Democrats' leadership these days, so...

Nope.
Other lamestream sources (all of them!) are reporting that the primary reporting system failed, the backup system failed, and the alternate to the backup system failed.
So ... either they had NO idea what they were doing -- or they need more time to fudge the results before announcing anything.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-inconsistencies-found-in-democrat-iowa-caucus-reporting-conspiracies-explode
“We found inconsistencies in the reporting of three sets of results,” the Democratic National Committee said in a statement. “In addition to the tech systems being used to tabulate results, we are also using photos of results and a paper trail to validate that all results match and ensure that we have confidence and accuracy in the numbers we report. This is simply a reporting issue, the app did not go down and this is not a hack or an intrusion. The underlying data and paper trail is sound and will simply take time to further report the results.”
-
This morning they were reporting it as a glitch in the system. Being the skeptic that I am, my first thought was the glitch was that the wrong candidate won. But I think it's more likely that it's just the clumsy implementation of an awkward system.

Well, the app was developed by a company called SHADOW.
I think Rs should be throwing the term "election manipulation" around like every two minutes though, just to begin to even things out with the Ds, who have already said that if Trump wins this year, it's because of manipulation and thus he's again an invalid President.

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 mess in Iowa has apparently encouraged Bloomberg:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/04/us/politics/michael-bloomberg-campaign-ads.html
Mr. Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor whose campaign is fueled by a multibillion-dollar personal fortune, conferred with advisers on Tuesday morning about the muddled results in Iowa. Encouraged by the murky outcome, Mr. Bloomberg authorized his campaign team to double his spending on television commercials in every market where he is currently advertising and expand his campaign’s field staff to more than two thousand people, strategists involved in the conversations said.
Oh joy. Even more Bloomberg ads.

With 62% reporting, Buttigieg in the lead with Sanders following closely behind (less than 2% split). Warren, Biden, and Klobuchar are third, fourth, and fifth, respectively, but no real threat to the two frontrunners. The remainder are mere footnotes.
It's fun to point out that little Mikey Bloomberg is being reported with exactly zero percent of the votes. :rofl:

Is he even on the ballot?

Looks like a cluster of epic proportions. The state party hired a firm to put together a custom app to collect the results. They refused to have it tested beforehand and didn't want to reveal the vendor either. They also routed the reports and the help requests calls to the same line. Makes you wonder why the voters would trust their party.
Edited because I merely repeated the same link as above.
-
Is he even on the ballot?
According to Politico he is. Both the "Uncommited" and "Other" categories fared better (actually much better). I expect there will be a big slew of votes for him coming from somewhere, but it's an irrelevant aside at this point.
*edit to add* With 99% of districts reporting, Trump has 97% of the Republican votes. Wow. I've don't recall ever seeing a caucus party vote so decidedly lopsided.

Caucuses don't have prefilled out ballots. That is the beauty of a caucus.
Democrats build a collection of supporters to be create a viable candidates, Republicans have a simple straw pole. It is a party driven activity, not an official election process run by county auditors or Secretary of State. It also the event where people are elected from each precinct to be on the county party central committee and pick delegates for the party's conventions.

Cool. I got as many votes as Bloomberg.

It really is bizarre.
The Dole, Bush, Mcain, Romney and Trump votes be were all desperation votes to slow down the descent into societal insanity.

Ron noted:

It's not so bizarre when you consider that Communism is born out of confusion and discontent.
The trouble is, ever since the excesses of Senator Joseph McCarthy's "McCarthyism" of the late 1940s, people have been afraid to use the term Communist or communism for fear of being called "paranoid" and making baseless accusations.
And...
The Democrats are on the crazy train, the Double Down Express to Oblivion.
...this is all part of the plan. Whip 'em up, block or malign all rational processes, break away from any sense of decorum (as in the Speaker's tearing up of her copy of the SOTU), and spread hate and discontent far and wide.
All part of the plan.
And, unfortunately, too many people still vote with their bellies instead of our previous national values.

Careful, I hear that anything short of perfect, verbatim spelling and pronunciation of "Mayor Pete's" impossible to read surname is grounds for a paddlin' here :facepalm:
Playing on the fact that its hard to pronounce his name.
Using his name to make homosexual jokes is what got the mods worked up last time and I'd consider that a serious violation of the Art's Grandma clause.

Trump wouldn't be so divisive if he didn't have enemies ..... [tinfoil]
Ummm . . . dems aren't really going after Trump, they're going after us.

You misspelled "Bloomberg". I have a feeling he is the anointed one this time, even over Biden.

Fixed that for you. They wanted Biden- he'd have been very easy to... influence. Likely setting up getting whomever they put in the VP slot to either become President early or run in 2024.
Now that they killed his candidacy with 24/7 talking about how corrupt he is, they need a new savior to prevent admitting they are just socialists.
