CBS Declares Trump Winner of Dem Iowa Caucus Chaos

On Tuesday, anchors, correspondents, and pundits on CBS This Morning all agreed that the real winner of the Democratic Iowa caucus was actually President Trump, given all the chaos that plagued the contest. The network broadcast labeled Monday’s inauspicious start to the 2020 Democratic primary season an “embarrassment” that only “helps the President.”

“So this morning, the two chief political exports of Iowa are uncertainty and embarrassment,” correspondent Major Garrett proclaimed early in the show. Wrapping up the report, he sounded exasperated: “So the Iowa Democratic Party better get its act together, and soon, if it’s going to claim any legitimacy in this process.” Co-host Tony Dokoupil remarked: “Not a good look for Iowa, not a good look for the Democrats.”

During an interview with 2020 Democratic contender Pete Buttigieg minutes later, Dokoupil pressed: “Does the fact that there are now multiple candidates calling themselves victorious, does that create chaos that helps the President spin a narrative that the Democrats don’t know what they’re doing?”

In a follow-up, fellow co-host Gayle King observed: “I would imagine at the White House they are doing the hula today because it does look like a hot mess for the Democrats.” She then wondered: “What does it say that the Democrats couldn’t get something so important right, right out the gate?”

They want to take over the economy with their Green New Deal, they want to take over completely with socialized medicine, yet they can’t even run their own nomination process.

Does that bode well for confidence in the Democrat party to accomplish anything?Dilbert San Diego

This Iowa caucus is another prime example of incurable TDS!

Of course.

That is anti-Bernie all the way.

And so they wouldn’t have to say creepy Joe is in the toilet.

Addition is hard.

At this point somebody is going to have to generate a result and swear it's legit, because Iowa's delegates have to vote for somebody in the convention. And if it's close in Milwaukee this thing could get bloody.

Pretty awesome. First time a single candidate won both Iowa caucuses at the same time.
