Amid Iowa caucus chaos, Pete Buttigieg claims victory and shrugs off criticism
CBS News ^ | February 4, 2020 | Staff

After Monday night's caucus difficulties left Democrats in Iowa and around the country confused and frustrated, candidate Pete Buttigieg expressed confidence that he was "victorious." He and several other 2020 Democrats left Iowa for New Hampshire overnight to begin campaigning for next week's primary after several of them also expressed optimism in their own results.

Buttigieg's confident claim gave rise to the Twitter hashtag #MayorCheat after he gave a victory speech despite the chaos over the final results. When asked if he perhaps made the call prematurely, Buttigieg shrugged off criticism.

"Looking at what happened last night, looking at all of the data that we've got, it was an extraordinary night and we are absolutely victorious coming into New Hampshire," he said.

This same person claims the Bible is OK with using the keister as a reproductive organ. He’d NEVER lie. Oh, never!

I think the national DNC has now formalized plans to strike Iowa from all historical records and go home with the ball.

I just can't wait for Super Tuesday!!!!!

Well, you’re wrong. I have it on good authority that it was a landslide for Maxine Waters.

Hey, he wrote a victory speech, and probably a consession speech. Which one would YOU give, given the screw-ups?

I dont’ fault him, it was great strategy. Not as smart as Amy being the first to realize that if she gave a speech, she’d get more national coverage than she had for her entire campaign, and more minutes of air time then she got in the debates.

He probably came in second to Sanders, but he clearly beat Biden, and probably beat Warren — and in that circumstance, I would have declared victory if I were him; he got more votes in this caucus than he did in any of his other elections.

It’s pronounced “booty-judge” as in, “You’d make an awful president, Pete, but you’d make a great booty judge.”

CHECK THIS:

CNN’s John King reports that the Biden campaign may seek a court injunction to halt this afternoon’s release of the Iowa Caucus results.
Before the Iowa results are released, Biden’s campaign is questioning the integrity of the results.

Bwahahahaha!
