With the chaos in Iowa still a headache for the Democrats, DNC chair Tom Perez appeared on CNN this morning to address what the hell happened and the questions it raises about the caucus system.
Jake Tapper opened by telling Perez the caucuses were clearly a mess, and asked, The DNC, since you took over, has been trying to discourage states from having caucuses and encourage them to have primaries instead. Is it time for the DNC just to say to the state Democratic parties, no more caucuses?
I think it needs to be state election officials running elections, Perez said, talking about how they want to return power to the people.
What happened in Iowa, he continued, was undeniably unacceptable.
Im frustrated. Im mad as hell, everybody is, and I think what were going to do at the end of this cycle is have a further conversation about whether or not state parties should be running elections, he added.
Tapper again asked, Isnt it time for the DNC to say, thats it, no more caucuses. No more parties doing this. No more volunteers. It is official DNC policy to have primaries and to have state election officials do this.
You need to pass a state law to have a state-run primary. There are some states that still have caucuses where Im not sure the Republican governor would sign the law to have the election. So thats a challenge, Perez said.
At one point Tapper asked if Iowa may end up losing its first-in-the-nation status. Perez said thats a conversation for the national party to have after this election cycle.
TRANSLATION: “The DNC can no longer reliably dictate the result, so the states should not be allowed to conduct their own nomination process.”
Iowa caucuses have been run successfully for decades.
Only screwed-up now because the Democrat Party is full of corruption, liars, cheats and criminals. They STILL can’t count the vote from last week.
And these are the same people who want to tell US how to run elections.
We never had any problem with this before computers.
The fakery got done much faster.
Note that Iowa Dems never used to announce how many participated in their caucuses. In 2016, they confirmed numbers for the first time (at least first time in decades), but long after the caucuses. This is the first year theyve confirmed number of individuals quickly. The used to just announce the number of district and state delegates awarded.
The DNC already thinks it is OK to tell the states, “No more Caucasians”!
Funny the Republicans has caucuses in 16 and 20 without any issues...
Blaming the caucus for the Dems incompetence is nonsense.
Iowa Dem caucus counts are complicated because the DNC demands caucus locations with people of color get more delegate representation.
Bernie won by thousands of actual voters but gets fewer delegates because not enough Bernie voters were people of color.
Why not? The DNC is already dictating results allowed.
Better yet Fake Jake, tell MSNBC no more Tapper.
When put together, (#1. the screw-ups of the last few democratic primaries, #2. combined with the covered up murder of Seth Rich, #3. and the conclusions of the former top NSA investigators provided at the link below (and the silencing of their findings)), there can be little doubt, there is some level of real conspiracy (”collusion”) between global socialists “deep state” and the Clinton hierarchy within the DNC.
With the decade long ongoing Matt Rhodes/Clinton connection, and former Romney/Marriot involvement with the Clinton Foundation, there may also somehow be a strategic political Romney angle.

It’s on YouTube as well, but YouTube did not like the content, and temporarily messed with this video.
It appears there is a concerted left-wing effort, to have the power to control who is placed in office, and or to remove those in office who get in their way.
“Forcing Iowa to spend millions on a state-sponsored primary because Dems want to screw each other doesnt seem fair either.”
State-wide primary elections give ALL voters in a state a vote in who will be their candidates, rather than allowing just a tiny number of insider party members who bother to attend the caucuses to make those decisions ...
After the 2016 caucuses, Colorado voters voted overwhelmingly to eliminate the caucus-only system like Iowa has, and instead institute a state-wide primary system where all registered voters could participate.
Colorado voters from BOTH parties were outraged in 2016 when both the GOP and Dem caucuses were rigged by party insiders, and converting from a caucus system to a primary system was overwhelmingly approved by the voters of Colorado ...
state-wide primaries give ALL registered voters a vote, not just a few insiders who can rig the results ...
