Possibilities: 1) The Democrats have made their caucus process so inclusive that it is unworkable. 2) This is some sort of ploy to drag out the results and keep the attention on Iowa as long as possible. 3) The whole caucus idea is a farce.
Democrats promising “free stuff” for the last 5 decades has finally come to “fruition” or its’ logical end. Democrat voters now DEMAND “free stuff”, and are willing to vote full-tilt Commie to make it happen.
It seems like the Democratic establishment is trying frantically to prevent a Bernie win.
Headlines from CNN:
Democratic campaign: "It's clear that something has gone wrong" Iowa Democratic Party officials are hunkered down in their war room tonight, with presidential campaigns in the dark over the delay in the reporting of caucus results.
Officials from two Democratic campaigns tell CNN they were told the app to tabulate results had crashed. They said they had not been given any other information.
There was controversy at the 2016 Iowa caucus, too In 2016, the state Democratic Party was forced to review the caucuses after the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders flagged issues with the process -- specifically the way in which a winner is declared and coin flips.
The results are still delayed. Here's why that could be a concern. We're still awaiting results from Iowa's Democratic party — even though nearly an hour ago a source told CNN numbers would be ready around 10 p.m. ET.
CNN senior political analyst Mark Preston said the delay could be concerning. "I have confidence in them, but I would say this: It is bringing in some concern and certainly wondering about what is exactly happening now behind the scenes," he said.
The democrats play a strange game before they choose a winner. They all vote after checking in and confirming they are registered. Once confirmed, everyone votes by standing in groups for the person on the ballot. (the nominee) If anyone has less than 15% of the total votes they are eliminated. At that point you can either join another group and their nominee or you can leave. Most choose to go to another nominee. The nominees that get over the 15% get reported to the Democrat HQ. Sometimes this goes on until way late. That is why you are getting late results.
The republicans simply hand out ballots and everyone votes and then the votes are counted. The turn out for the republicans is the largest I have ever seen in one spot. The democrats had many locations across town playing their ballot game. Just like we Republicans did in 2016. This won't be over until tomorrow for the democrats.

You figure that out on your own did or did somebody send you a p.m.?
Now they’re all making speeches like they (each candidate) won the damn thing....
Kinda like the old story about trying to play chess with a pigeon. It knocks the pieces over, schidts all over the board, then struts around like it won the match..
These Democrat idiots can’t even run their own caucus in a fair and competent fashion, and they want to impose themselves on the American people as if they are some “arbiter of equality” and have the solutions to everyone’s problems.
Pete is “front-rowin” his 5 black supporters to look like he’s got street cred...
Pete rates a "zero" with blacks in the polls. Yes he found 5 black supporters, probably college girls he paid a hundred bucks each to put in the front row.
Biden might be a point man for Hillary's run. He lost big time, it appears, and they need to "fix" that, since Bernie won, and Biden came in a distant 4th. Hillary will step in and save the party, going on to the White House after a brokered convention with Biden's delegates in her pocket. The super delegate system appears to be near rebirth, too. They'll belong to Hillary...OR ELSE!
Biden is toast. Looks like he wasn't so popular in Iowa, after all. Laughing.
Bye..
Oh wait. They just found some more ballots.
yeah there were several reports statewide that there were guys in suits, rummaging around junk yards in the dark with large postal sacks....with flashlights, flat tops and wearing dark glasses...
Geeze! Why would simple counting and addition be such a problem.
I remember an election in Washington state where the polls are controlled by democrats. After the first count, the Republican candidate was ahead. They had a recount and the gap narrowed. They did another recount and the democrat was ahead, so they stopped counting.
The democrap clown show just keeps getting more and more entertaining by the day. They must have hired the same dumbasses that turned the Ozerocare website into a joke. Now they're all standing around declaring victory while asking amongst themselves, "Who's on first?"

Did watch a little CNN earlier when I saw there was a CF going on. They said IA was too white to first.
I hope all those corn pickers down there take notice of how unimportant the d'craps think they are.

Yeah, Buttmunch going to need all he can get since Trump has the approval of about 42% of the voting black population.

Part 1: What time this morning, will Pelosi + Schiff announce a congressional investigation into how Trump hacked the Iowa primary? I'm guessing 11:15 am, or so.
Part 2: Will it be the Russians, Ukrainians, or another country altogether, that helped him do it?
Part 3: Will all of the Democrat candidates calmly accept this election result, as they have demanded that all Republicans do?
And these idiots want to run the country. They cannot even run a primary in a small state. I guess the group was so rotten, nobody could decide what looser to pick. Russia, Russia, Russia !!! Where’s the Puddler ? ?

Joe ScarboroughAKA Morning Joe dropped the Russia theme this morning, almost first thing in his/her show............
they seemed to be more focused on TRUMP NOT putting his hand over his heart while the National Anthem played on the TV before the ball game..... they can be quite patriotic when it suits their purpose!
The dims have been going down since Deborah Wasserman Schultz era. She was such a crook nothing could be trusted. She wasn't punished, The message forward is" if you can get away with it, it's good"

I still contend that this is all about the candidates and media NOT wanting to ever have to go to IA ever again for anything.
Several on both CNN and Fox last night were saying that IA is "Too White" to be the 1st state to help/hurt a candidate.
I predict:
Before the weekend, candidates, pollsters, and the media will be saying that:
Quote
"IA is Too Far from DC for candidates that are also current sitting elected officials. In light of the impeachment hearings and sitting elected officials responsibility to do The business of the people AND necessity to be in DC to DO the business of the people, A change must be made that allows sitting elected officials to remain closer to DC."
I was watching MSLSD last night at midnight. Good God, for 30 solid minutes, not a single criticism of Trump. Haven't seen that in 4 years.
But, three times they put it on the screen, Iowa is 90 Percent White. To the libs today, this is something to be ashamed of. A disgrace. And now, we see, Whitey has screwed it all up. They openly predicted that big party Dems will take the opening primary priveledge away from Iowa.
During Bernie's speech, one of his "campaign promises" was to partner with Russia and China to eliminate fossil fuels and cure global warming or some such nonsense.
I thought teaming up with Russia was a bad thing. Funny that they never mentioned it on MSNBC.
Oh, and free college at state schools and forgiveness of student debt and medicare for all single option system. We gonna pay for it off of the back of Wall street. (whatever that means)
Now they’re all making speeches like they (each candidate) won the damn thing....

[quote=George_De_Vries_3rd] Just to be clear— it’s “not Iowa” as in some grand faux pas by this state.
The Republican caucus here was short and sweet. In my precinct the Republicans number 16 or 17. In the other room set aside for the dems, they finished early and couldn't have been more than a dozen. Lowest turnout her I've ever seen and been voting sin e '68. Those rascally Iowa Dems are up to something again, as usual! You can't take your eyes off them for a second.
What's absolutely wonderful and satisfying is that the story is no longer who "won", but how incompetent the whole thing has become with the Demonrats in COMPLETE control from start to finish!
No one in their right mind can even remotely blame any of this on Trump, us Deplorable's, the RNC, or anything having to do with the current Administration, or supporters. This is ALL a DNC shiet-show and lays bare any possible Republican shenanigans. Who won Iowa isn't even being talked about today, it's all, '"What went wrong", or "Who's to blame".
Immensely satisfying and enjoying every minute of this shiet-show!
Bernie Sanders being interviewed this morning, the reporter asked him about his health. Bernie responded, "After my heart attack a few months back, I was afraid I'd never get to have sex again. But after the screwing the Democratic Party gave me in Iowa yesterday, now I know that's not true"!

Remember, there is not a demoncrap alive who is in their right mind.
+1...... They're all bat chit crazy, but you can count on a couple different scenarios..... One is that it's the fault of someone or something else, or two;... They throw one or more of their own people under the bus in a sacrificial gesture to make it appear that they've cleaned up their act and made bold, courageous moves to ensure the integrity and good name of the democrat party so that they can continue to serve America and protect their country from crooks, Russia colluders, white supremacists, Nazis, climate change, and a host of other items so that we can all live happily ever after and get more free stuff than we ever dreamed possible.

Search the name Tara McGowan, co-founder and CEO of Acronym, and see what she has been up to with organization and efforts.
"One month after founding Lockwood Strategy,[3] McGowan co-founded the digital advertising organisation ACRONYM with Michael Dubin.[6]
Within just over a year, ACRONYM had raised tens of millions of dollars for digital advertising campaigns, running more than 100 ad campaigns and registering 60,000 voters.[1] McGowan was recognized as a 2018 Rising Star by Campaigns and Elections magazine.[7]
In November 2019, McGowan announced that ACRONYM would undertake a $75 million online advertising campaign, targeting four states which are expected to be swing states in the 2020 general election for US president.[8] Since the campaign of incumbent president Donald Trump was reported to have a significant advantage in digital advertising during the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries, this large expenditure by a Democratic-aligned organisation was considered by many political strategists and media commentators to be a crucial safeguard for the Democratic Party against the risk of being outspent in digital advertising before their presidential nominee could be chosen.[8][9] For this reason, Nick Fouriezos at OZY identified McGowan's work at ACRONYM as "one of the major forces shaping the Democrats’ general-election fight against Donald Trump."[1]
Because of the volume of money that it has raised, and because of its status as a 501(c)(4) political nonprofit organisation that is not required to disclose the donations it receives, ACRONYM has been widely described as a dark money group.[10][11] McGowan has received criticism from other digital advertising operatives over the lack of transparency in ACRONYM's funding structure,[1][11] although she and some operatives have defended the 501(c)(4) funding structure as a useful innovation for progressive advertising groups to adopt.[1][12] In early 2019 ACRONYM acquired Shadow, Inc., a tech company that developed an app for the 2020 Iowa Democratic caucuses which caused delays in reporting the results.[13][14]
Courier Newsroom, which describes itself as a "progressive media company," is owned by ACRONYM.[15] Courier Newsroom acts as a parent company for local news companies.[15][16]
ACRONYM also publishes a weekly newsletter called FWIW and an accompanying podcast called the FWIW Podcast, which is published by Courier Newsroom. Hosted by McGowan, the FWIW Podcast is a biweekly podcast about the digital race for the White House. Past guests have included David Plouffe, Jeff Zeleny, and DNC CTO Nell Thomas.[17][18]"

Iowa busted a$$ for Obama. Color don't mean $hit among white democrats. I don't know if it's envy or sympathy but Iowa chose Obama and he road it all the way to the Whitehouse.
Just to be clear— it’s “not Iowa” as in some grand faux pas by this state. The Republican caucus here was short and sweet. Draw your own conclusions.
Truth.
IN and out in 90 minutes. The democrats own this screw up 100%. Now the rest of the States don't want to look like Iowa after last night. If they do it's absolutely intentional and fraudulent because they have been put on notice.

kwg
We were out by 7:30.
And that counted my far too talkative neighbor sharing her "wisdom". I had to offer, "that does not relate to this" and we moved forward and out. lol
