Democrats want to run US after their Iowa caucus ineptitude?
NY Post ^ | February 4 2020 | Charles Gasparino

Posted on 02/04/2020 11:23:34 PM PST by knighthawk

The Democratic Party was humbled by an app Monday night. A day later, it still didn’t have voting results for the 31st most populous state in the nation.

Yet this is the same party that wants the American people to believe it can remake a $20 trillion economy with free college, free health care and a “green new deal” all without a hiccup.

One major underlying theme proposed by all the Democrats running for president is competence — that they are all better suited for the job than President Trump, who can’t properly run his real estate business much less the country.

Come on man what are we doing?

Paying taxes that go to foreign governments and then back into the hands of our elected leaders. (most are NOT leaders, actually).

I hope Trump slashes and burns taxes to as little as possible.

We are getting SO LITTLE for our buck that we may as well keep as much as we can.

The debt will go up. OK. Sometimes a crisis needs to happen before an issue is addresses. This issue being the RIDICULOUS spending spree that congress goes on every year.

We needed an obummer to bring us Trump.

Sometimes you have to reach the bottom before you can start the climb back to the top.

Humbled? I don’t think they’re capable of it. They’ll just pretend nothing happened, and move on from there.

The entitlements will force the issue long before discretionary spending.

Hell, the interest on the present debt will eventually swallow discretionary spending.

We will face an economic Armageddon eventually because our politicians in both parties are incapable and unwilling to address entitlement reform. To do so = certain political death so it’s full speed ahead and damn our children!

Like Reagan said in 1984 - don’t change horses mid stream.

I have seen several theories bouncing around regarding the Ds voting app fiasco. Some say it was a dry run of an additional way to ‘acquire’ votes that were in fact different from the original vote, kind of a high tech ‘vote harvesting’. Others say the botch-up was intentional when the trends did not favor the DNC anointed candidate.

Whatever, rest assured that there is one truth in this whole cluster frak ... if it ever used again it will be to produce more votes for the D slate than were ever cast.

Who do we owe the debt to? (the total debt to other nations holding our bonds not counted)

Ourselves? Right?! one can say the banks but our banks don’t function without the blessings of the FTC, the treasury, the fed, ect. So who are we actually indebted to? And what armies could make us pay?

Iowa was hardly Democrat Communist ineptitude. The event was carefully engineered and came out exactly as planned. The scum will do the same thing to the national elections if given a chance and we are giving them the chance. Tainted voter rolls, stuffed ballot boxes, court challenges to close vote counts, illegal voters and the list goes on. The Dem-Coms keep pushing to see how far they can go and what works.

“Paying taxes that go to foreign governments and then back into the hands of our elected leaders.”

I’ve always known that foreign aid did not go to the people of the country it was paid to (just the leaders), but, until the Ukraine situation, I did not realize it was funneled back to our politicians. Can you imagine how many congressmen and senators are involved in this?

I am going with the simple explanation - incompetence.

Quite ironically it was the Sandernistas, who are mostly behind it. In 2016 the tech was provided by Microsoft, it worked, but Sandernistas said Microsoft is an evil corporation and demanded their removal.

A blast from the past article - http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/sanders-campaign-suspicious-corporate-influence-iowa-caucus
