Sorry, Tapper.

The crooked and corrupt dnc thinks it is their job to pick the nominee.

They don't want to leave it up to dem voters.

“The crooked and corrupt dnc thinks it is their job to pick the nominee.”

That’s what this is really about.

They don’t want to investigate and figure out how corrupt the process is and all the corruption building nationwide with their tech buddies.

Haha. Called it by the end of the day of the caucus.

All prearranged, with assist from the media, to eliminate caucuses, Iowa first.

Then on to the electoral college.

I have a feeling, that the chaos in Iowa was planned by someone behind the scenes, for their own nefarious purposes.

Someone wanted to throw a Molotov cocktail into the proceedings in Iowa.

Best guess, is that certain elements in the Democrat party didntike the results, so by blowing it up so we will.never know for sure what the results were, they effectively nullified the outcome when the official results were finally announced.

Translation:- It is hard to pull off voter fraud in a caucus forum, therefore the problem is holding a caucus primary.

Problem solved.

It is the DNC’s job to pick the nominee. They went to federal court in 2016 for just such a ruling. So why hold Democrat primaries anyway?

Well people tend to forget that political parties are private organizations. We give them quasi-government status they shouldn’t have. The DNC and for that matter the RNC could pick their candidates by Magic 8-ball if they wanted to.

Forcing Iowa to spend millions on a state-sponsored primary because Dems want to screw each other doesn’t seem fair either.

The fault, dear Losers, lies not in your Cockeyed Caucci, but in yourselves.

The DNC knew exactly who they were getting when Perez was apponted.

Any grumbling and whining now about him is fruitless. The DNC is so corrupt that only a corrupt individual would assume his position, just as he did.

Just as we’ve seen with Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and every other Democrat… It’s never their fault!

The Iowa results were exactly what DNC made them. Tapper is just clueless, he actually believes it was a screw up.

Note that the big Dem donors have switched from donating to the DNC to campaign committees and PACs. They know Perez is an Affirmative Action boob.

From Wiki:

Political parties in Iowa have used caucuses to select party leaders and candidates for office since the 1800s. Before 1907, parties selected all candidates for political office through the caucus system. Iowa held a presidential primary in 1916, but returned to the caucus system in 1917 due to high costs and low participation.

...

Caucuses have been held for a very long time. Why are they having major problems now, as if I don’t know?

Almost!
A better DNC result would have been manipulating it so Biden won. They couldn’t the data enough to make that happen so they settled for chaos.
