DES MOINES — The top Democratic presidential candidates sparred on Tuesday with leaders of the Iowa Democratic Party, and at times with one another, in a strenuous effort to shape the terms and timing of the release of results from the presidential caucuses here.
Fault lines that emerged between the campaigns on Monday night quickly deepened on Tuesday, as several campaigns pressed the state party for a speedy and full release of the results and representatives of former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. continued to criticize the legitimacy of the process.
The state party said in a midday statement that it would begin to announce partial results late in the afternoon, frustrating campaigns that feared a partial release of data would offer a misleading picture of the outcome and throw the presidential race into further disarray. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont did not wait for Iowa officials; citing his campaign’s internal data, he all but declared victory as he waited to fly to New Hampshire.
Troy Price, the state party chairman at the center of the maelstrom, declined to lay out a timeline for completing the tabulation and releasing the results.
On a midday conference call and in other private conversations with Iowa party leaders, representatives for Mr. Sanders, former Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., and Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota urged local officials to provide the most complete set of results possible, and several campaign emissaries pushed for access to the paper trail that the party was using to verify returns from the caucuses.
Mr. Biden’s campaign took a more combative approach, repeatedly questioning — in public and private — the integrity of the caucuses and objecting to the party’s plans for releasing the results.

WHAT A BUNCH OF LOSERS LOL!!
It is not suspicious at all that Bootyjudge paid the firm who wrote the software in advance and seemingly knew the results of the caucuses, that were not supported by polling, in advance of everyone else.
Nothing here. Move along.
Popcorn is ready...and they want to LEAD us? Especially if 2 of these socialists are supposed to know tech...(Bloomberg and Tom Steyr).
I believe Sesame Street is above them...
Reminder:
President Trump in his rallies and interviews, has often expressed his preference for the adjective “Democrat”, rather than “Democratic” to describe the Democrat party, it’s members, candidates, voters, platforms, policies, and other elements of the political party.
The President believes using the adjective “democratic” to describe Democrats and the Democrat party, is too good for them, it pays them undeserved flattery, because that is the adjective used to describe “democracy”, widely considered to be a the purest form of election-based representative self-government.
The United States of America is a “Constitutional Republic”, not a “democracy”, but it is deeply rooted in the democratic principle of election based voter representation.
Ironically, the Democrat Party, as President Trump would call it, is far less democratic than the Republican Party, because the DNC has drifted toward Socialism, an anti-democratic construct that seeks to transfer power away from individuals (voters) and vest it in an unelected permanent government bureaucracy.
If this all sounds a bit familiar, that is because other great conservatives, including Ronald Reagan, William Buckley, Rush Limbaugh, and many others, have also shared this “pet peeve”.
If one wishes to “put the Democrats in their place”, demote them to a lower title more befitting of their true nature, deprive them of their pretentious and undeserved association with democracy itself, one would be wise to take President Trump’s lead and avoid using the flattering adjective “Democratic” when referring to that decidedly undemocratic party, the Democrat Party.
Thank you.
It’s gotta be Bloomberg, because what virtually all politicians really care about is money, and he has been sharing his with other Democrat politicians. If by some miracle, the Democrats don’t dispatch Bernie one way or the other, the party may implode.
And you want to be our latex salesmen.
Communist Party seems to fit the bill perfectly.
Or National Socialists.
