This happened only after the last poll before the caucuses was held back from publication because of some kind of problem. Makes you wonder what is going on within the Democratic Party.

Heh, when the DNC was pissed that their server was hacked in 2016, they refused to let their vaunted US Intelligence agencies investigate. They are refusing help here too and even rejected a pre vote test assessment.
The political parties are after all private entities and can do whatever they want.
But I firmly believe that this (and the next several primaries) are just dry runs for how they plan on cheating 2020. The ones that "go smoothly" are the ones they will use.
I don't understand how Bernie supporters can still stand with the Democrat party after it's blatantly obvious that the election has once again been stolen from the guy they support. Bernie I get, he'll just buy another house, and more people around him will get more money. He's fine with it.
The most interesting thing I have heard is that Yang is blaming this problem on President Trump. What would he have to do with the Iowa Democratic Party? I guess it is all about TDS.
The way I understand it, Pelosi was in her office early this morning drawing up new articles of impeachment charging Trump with obstruction of caucuses.
That could have been what was said, honestly, I was pretty busy at the time.

In addition to Mook, who was supposedly a "spokesman" and a "tester", there is a lot more to "The Hawkeye Hork" Shadow, a tech firm that describes itself as a group that creates “a permanent advantage for progressive campaigns and causes through technology,” is the company that created the Iowa Democratic Party’s app, according to The New York Times. At least the COO, CEO, CTO and a senior product manager at Shadow all worked for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, according to LinkedIn profiles.
It's like hiring the crew of the Titanic and the Hindenburg together....What could possibly go wrong?
By the way the SAME APP is / was supposed to be used in the Dem's Nevada primary!
This should be entertaining

I believe the Democrats in Nevada have already said that they will not be using the App after last night.
Question.............. Does the Federal Elections Commission have any say or authority in state elections such as this? Or, is their only mission to investigate and enforce campaign finance laws/regulations?
It all makes perfect sense—once you realized that the software was only a secondary concern for the people involved. Max Blumenthal reports that Shadow Inc, the software company that produced the app, had ties to the Buttigieg campaign both as a contractor and (through its top funder) as a donor. ( “Shadow Inc”? Really? Were all the best evil names taken, like “Spectre” and “Hydra?”) Shadow Inc’s website says that its employees are veterans of the Clinton and Obama campaigns, as well as the DNC—although, like the Men in Black, it refuses to identify its operatives by name. This reinforces the sense of an insider clique with an interest in the caucus results, rather than a team of the most qualified tech experts.
Embarrassing doesn't begin to describe this debacle...……
Nor does the fact that Shadow is a Progressive company directly related to the HRC. Ironic don't you think and yet, she still has supporters.

cliffw raises his hand, smiling broadly. Throw in Speaker of the House Botox's public ripping up her President's State of the Union speech and I am dancing on clouds.
No Mr. President, I am not tired of winning !

Dang randye, you stole my punchline. Bumper sticker time.
"Vote Dumbocrap, what could go wrong." "Vote Dumbocrap, where everyone is a winner." "Vote Dumbocrap, where no one is a loser."
Quid Pro Biden ran away from Iowa as fast as he could, after claiming he got his share of delegates. Although not all votes are in, he has yet to get one delegate.
"Buttguy won and Sanders came in a close second? HILLARY! THE RUSSIANS ARE AT IT AGAIN!!!"
From what I have been told he spent practically all of his campaign money on Iowa, this was his Hail Mary. So if that is true, did this seemingly tainted result give him hope or just a few more seconds of campaigning? Never forget " hell yah I am coming for your AR15's"

Oh my...the infamous Ballot Box 13...El Patron/The Duke of Duval was heavily involved in that South Texas deal and it was really years before George Parr lost power in South Texas.
That ballot box stuffing had far reaching effects that even touched me personally 2 decades later.
Wow, its even worse that I thought last night. The caucus reports being shown now are not consistent or correct. It is a total disaster. And this according to the New York Times.
Man, I hope someone is working on a plan to insure the integrity of the general election in November. I have a real queasy feeling. This is not good at all.
Ha! Not digging, but there is talk of "Trumpers" flooding the phone lines that did the reporting. Democrats are twitting that a page with the phone numbers was caught on camera and posted to a website. "Trumpers" found it, and flooded the phone lines. No, really, even their back up system failed if this is true!
Hypothetical pondering: We have 2 contenders out of Iowa, Pete and Bernie. Scenario 1) Lets say Pete gets the DNC nod to run for the presidency. DNC helps him figure out his running mate, Hillary. Scenario 2) Bernie looks like he is going to get the nod, does he get screwed again. Back room dealing tanks Bernie and Biden gets the nod with the caveat that Hillary is his running mate. Conclusion through either "suicide" or impeachment, Hillary becomes president. Nothing to worry about, it has been a boring day at work due to weather and my brain started wondering.

P.S. Let's not forget about the dark horse in the room Lil' Mikey Bloomberg, he buy's the presidency.
