Joe Biden flopped in Iowa. And so did the Democratic party's reputation
The Guardian ^ | February 4,2020 | Nathan Robinson

If you’re the type of person who thinks the Democratic party is a creaking, incompetent entity whose leadership needs overthrowing, the Iowa caucuses certainly validated your point of view. None of us knew who would win, but we had at least expected a result.

We didn’t get one, at least not on caucus night. State Democratic party officials announced that due to “quality control” issues, release of the result would be indefinitely delayed. On a conference call with representatives of the candidates, party officials hung up the phone when asked when the totals would be released.

So what do we know? Well, one thing we can say confidently is that “frontrunner” Joe Biden flopped. There were places where Biden didn’t even meet the 15% threshold needed to maintain viability from the first round to the second round – at one caucus site, the attorney general of Iowa had to switch from Biden to Buttigieg when Biden was disqualified.

It explains why Biden’s surrogate John Kerry was heard on the phone the other day asking whether it would be possible for him to enter the race at the last minute to save the Democratic party from being conquered by Sanders.

Joe is a loser and always has been.

No one likes him and no one ever has.

I think this is biden’s Doing because now the devastating loss will be a footnote. Remember being VP, Biden still has a lot of pull in some areas of government. The winner tonight was Biden and Trump! Biden for not having a big embarrassment and trump for having the democrats look ridiculous.

The Democrats will do whatever it takes to stop Bernie and prop up Biden.

The Iowa Caucus did not kill itself.

Bernie won Iowa in a landslide, and will do the same in NH.

Biden didn’t meet the 15% threshold for delegates in Iowa.

The Fake Indian’s “plans” collapsed.

Boot Edge Edge is of less stature than Amy KloBootcher.

Doomberg’s burn rate is $100 million per State.

Chris Matthews ain’t feelin’ the tingle.

Trump Landslide 2020!

That's fantasy, but what might be possible that he received enough votes to be posted on the leader board. That would be humiliating.

Like most people, I have no idea how the Dem caucuses work. I'm not sure there is a provision for a write-in. Probably not.

CNN screen headline says it all: Dem Candidates Declare Victory Despite No Results In Iowa.

What a lying, empty, anti- democratic party.

The Democrats don’t even trust each other!
They expect the country to trust them?

That is why I exclusively refer to them as the Democrat Party.
Because there is absolutely NOTHING democratic about them.

Isn't Iowa the place where Sleep Joe called a local a "damned liar" and challenge him to some pushups?

So fitting.
