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.

No Im really the winner.
;
I demand a recount. You conspired with Nebraska to beat me.
______________
ROFL
Let me be the first to say I AM THE WINNER!
So even Amy Klodhopper almost beat Biden. Glad to see next to no one voted for that pasty faced weasel Styer.
I love it when they start eating each other.
Oh please. You have to know there is no chance of any such foolishness.
No, *Im* the winner because Im a woman.
Proving yet again that our side has all the pretty ones.
Whether you want to believe it or not...from a pretty smart guy commenting on Sundance’s thread...:

Clinton and Bloomberg are longtime friends. Steyer is a Podesta friend/Clinton ally. Clintons people are on the convention committee (including Podesta).
Bloombergs campaign, like Bidens, is a proxy, just in a different way. Hes already pledged to spend the money, whomever the nominee will be, and I think its because hes never planned to be the one. That Clinton getting in (or winning) seems so, utterly fantastical does not make it less true: the play here is Clinton.
In a planted Op-Ed in The Hill, shes already been floated as VEEP to add gravitas to the ticket, and was quoted as being excited to jump on board with whomever gets the nomination (really? Clinton excited to run as #2? No one buys it its seeding the concept.)
Chaos is also the best, if not the necessary state-of-play for Clinton to parachute in. First as VEEP a stabilizing force. Then its just a re-shuffle to put her at the top of the ticket. VEEP probably then goes to Warren, thinking it placates the progressive wing (it wont).
Bloomberg has no real pitch on the democrat side (neither did Biden) and he has the feel of a pop-up candidate. His constituency is pure donor class and astroturf. Hillary has a narrow band of dead-enders and a pitch: I beat Trump once in the popular vote, I can do it again, and Im eager to settle the score.
What really matters is she still owns the party. Thats how she got her people on the convention committee, which only matters if theres going to be a need to control it. Shell take it in broad daylight, with Bernie people (and others) eyes wide open. Clintons and the DNC dont care. Thats what narrative engineering is for.
Ive been telling my family this for months. After tonight, I finally won a convert. And shes PISSED. A long way to go yet, but this might turn out to be that moment that once you see, you cant unsee.
If you do not know the truth, fabricate the lie.
What dems are good for. Right up there with the FBI
Fantastic!! So, our future national leader could be a homosexual married to a man, and that leader would espouse killing babies up to, during, and immediately after birth (depending on the whim of the woman, because buttplug cares so much about women); what a wonderful world!!
WHAT??? Is Obama running again?
There may have been some technical issues but Im sure they got results they didnt expect and it is problematic.
Bingo.
Their counting software voter fraud patch found numbers so far out the norm that it crashed. Not enough testing.
Kinda like the Y2K where actually some clocks could not handle the date change and crashed the system.
“Iowa: you have shocked the nation.”
He is simply pressuring Dem voters to show their “wokeness” by supporting him; if he doesn’t win the nomination, it is because Dem voters are haters.
Plenty of people dumb enough to believe this and donate to his campaign. He’s just trying to steal the boost.
I love this.
I could not be happier with the chaos that is defining the dem party.
Imagine for a moment what it would be like to have our president of the United States being done up the anus by a man in the White House. There is no way in the world that should ever, ever, ever be the case
If the mayor is the candidate, I wonder if we will be forbidden to mention his husband, justt as we were forbidden to use Hussein with Obama.
So they are are handing out participation trophies?
Shadow, a technology company that has an investor in Democratic digital nonprofit ACRONYM, was also paid $60,000 over two installments by the Iowa Democratic Party to build an app to help make caucus voting easier and faster for precinct volunteers.

Easier and faster than what? Smoke signals? Pony Express? Tin cans and string?
What if Trump won the DEMOCRATS IOWA CAUCUS??
