South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg declared himself the winner in Iowa after technical glitches and snafus prevented the state party from announcing any caucus results Monday night.
Buttigieg, who was hoping to get a boost out of the nation's first caucus state to drive past more seasoned rivals, went beyond any of the other Democratic presidential contenders his his caucus-night speech.
'We don't know all of the results. But we do know that by the time it's all said and done, Iowa: you have shocked the nation. Because by all indications we are going on to New Hampshire victorious,' Buttigieg told cheering supporters - in the kind of statement that might ordinarily follow a strong measure of public information.
Instead there was no official result in any form, and the Iowa Democratic Party rushed out a statement promising that they had not been hacked and would now be using paper results with a count which will stretch into daylight on Tuesday morning.

Ha I like how Bloomberg isn’t even on the list there!
LOL—thanks for the edit!
Good old Elizabeth Warner! She place well, for not being on the ballot!

Trump did win the Iowa caucus.
He also won every Democrat debate.
You MISSED my point....geesh.
“The way the carcasses are done are very opaque by design.”
Carcasses..... heh.. heh.. heh.
I have been waiting and waiting for SOMEONE to bring up the obvious reason that “mayor Pete” could not become the president. Get ready, he’s gay, homosexual and frankly anathema to at least four countries that must be dealt with strongly.
I mean really people, they KILL gay people for fun in some of these countries. Does anyone see the leaders of these counties sitting down at a table with a gay US president?
Not really.
I was just carrying on...
I think a bad precedent was set when Obama was elected; it was clear the people had lost their way (due to 8 years of W, which ended on a sour note economically). Nobody respected or feared us anymore, including the radicals within our own country.
Buttigieg would be 10X worse...
So much for COUNT THE VOTES....when it comes to DUmocrats, counting is only important until enough ballots in their favor can be manufactured to produce the desired outcome.
Dem primaries are becoming circular firing squads!
Just Stand Back, Watch and let them destroy each other!
Sit back and enjoy the dems in their circular firing squads!
Thanks to Bonemaker for this great reality.
