It's kind of hilarious what a technological train-wreck the voting was.
Who in their right mind thinks electronic voting is a good idea in the first place. It's a very good way to place democracy in danger though. --- Jack of all trades and destructive tinkerer. Anyone who have simple solutions for complex problems is a fool. |

Still better than the 2012 GOP effort. Not by much though. Caucuses suck, electronic voting sucks. Both together, wow. I did like the theory that it was deliberate so they could delay anouncing the winner until just before the SotU address started. Stupid theory, but funny. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And maybe peoples just voted for the only candidate that doesn't look like he was trying to enter White House on wheelchair and left it on a hearse?

This doesn't sound quite right. The mess up occurred when the application provided the caucus heads for reporting the results to the state party didn't work. I think the caucus process should be done away with myself. It's undemocratic. Don - When any group seeks political power in God's name, both religion and politics are instantly corrupted.

It is Clinton's fault!
https://nypost.com/2020/02/04/app-blame ... aign-alum/ Just my opinion, but the caucus process is undemocratic because it subjects voters to intense peer pressure while denying them privacy. |

Agreed except for the fundamental issue being Clinton's fault. I participated in the Iowa Caucus once back in 1988. My issue with it is that the way it is conducted limits voter participation. Also the way the votes are counted...egads. I remember going home meditating on Will Rogers dictum:"I belong to no organised party. I'm a Democrat." We're the ones who invented circular firing squads. But change it? Then you get into the seven last words of the church: "We've never done it that way before."

Actually, it is Clinton's fault and it was deliberate. Job One was concealing the fact that Creepy Joe Biden was never the leading candidate and probable candidate for POTUS. The Democrats needed to make it appear that Biden was a political threat to President Trump in order to rationalize the fiction that confronting corruption in Ukraine was an abuse of power. Job Two was exposing the Democrat party as incompetent and corrupt so that they will need Hillary to save them. |

Nice fiction, but that's all it is because it has no bearing on reality. I wonder if you even realize the glaring errors in your purported chain of events. --- Jack of all trades and destructive tinkerer. Anyone who have simple solutions for complex problems is a fool. |

The problem with the Iowa Caucus long predated Clinton. We really don't need conspiracy theories to explain it. As for what happened this round, sheer incompetence on the part of some party operatives is explanation enough.
TFLY, you keep getting this sort of information from the web sites you are patronizing which unless we share your outlook, we are not going to trust. That means that we regard what you are saying as being off the wall... That is not going to change which means that you are bumping your head against the wall, giving you a sore head. Most stuff that happens is better explained something more mundane than a conspiracy theory.
